Friday is Date Night!

-


Last night Susan and I went to a local bar to see these guys. Their average age is 14, I think, but they're a talented bunch of kids.

Besides, it was fun to get out of the house--just the two of us!

They are wonderful. I can't believe that they are so young.
I'm glad you and Susan got a night out of the house.

Great band! Done with those papers yet, or did Susan drag you kicking and screaming out of the house? If so, good for her. Glad you got a nice break either way.

I must admit, Mrs. G, that I think they are actually in their 20's. They just LOOK like babies.

I just got to have a date night...at a REAL restaurant! Not even a chain! The food was great but the music seemedto have been piped in from my dentists office...

Getting out is harder than it looks. Work and family often conspire to take away time and what's left to you is often spent passed out on the sofa in one's pajamas or curled up alone with a book. Or blogging. The hubs and I went out for dinner and a movie last weekend and I'm not even going to tell you how long it's been since we did that. These young musicians sound awesome.

My Utterly Awesome, Insanely Happy, Fabulous, Feminist Morning

Bloggy friends, Are you sitting down? Oh, right. Anyway, I have big news! Last night I got a call from my cousin Butch (hereafter known as the best cousin a girl could have or BC). Well, BC had donated 250.00 to the Clinton campaign in order to attend a breakfast with the candidate. AND HE COULDN'T GO! So, would I mind filling in for him? Well, OK. I'm all about the family. So, I went to the Hyatt Regency this morning, and who is introducing Senator Clinton? That's right. . . Gloria Steinem. Yes, my friends, The . Gloria. Steinem. Of course, the 250.00 tickets were the cheap seats (read, no seats at all--we just stood in the back), so most of my pictures of Senator Clinton ended up looking like this. And this. And this. Yes, that is a man with thinning hair in front of the senator. Before the speeches, I heard a rumor that Gloria Steinem was going to be speaking at Justin's Ice Cream Parlor later in the day. So I high-tailed it down there and I met Gloria Steinem. ...

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

Notable Texans part One

In an effort to comfort me, both Mrs. T and Melanie mentioned some Texans who have made the world a better place. I can only say, amen, sisters. Here's one who makes me prouder than I can say. "Who then will speak for America? Who then will speak for the common good?" Barbara Jordon (1936-1996) was born in Houston Texas' West End. She became a state legislator in 1966, served as president of the "ledge," became a congresswoman, gained some notoriety during the Watergate hearings, and gave the key note address at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. I was a junior in High School at the time. I remember her voice. I remember her words. I remember that we hoped that Jimmy Carter would choose Jordon as his running mate. I remember people talking about how it might someday be possible for a woman to become president. I remember thinking that it might one day be possible for an African American to be president. She served until 1979, when multiple sclerosi...
