I got so used to the gray skies that it was almost a life-changing experience to take a trip away to somewhere where the skies were blue and everyone was smiling. I think in Washington you don't even realize that the constant gray has an effect on you, until you have a little vacation away. <BR/><BR/>I want to respond to Rain's comment about that McCain "wasn't that cute what I just said" smile. It always strikes me as a "Phew, I got through that whole sound bite sentence they told me to say without mixing up the words" smile. And sometimes it reminds me of that totally inappropriate Bush grin that appears at just the wrong time...clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881389390266605547.post-53070251644944877912008-07-23T08:19:00.000-07:002008-07-23T08:19:00.000-07:00It's hard not to grumble when a person reads what ...It's hard not to grumble when a person reads what is happening. If I have the news on and see McCain, with that smug look and a smile like wasn't that cute what i just said, I am even more grumbling. It's hard to keep centered on the idea that there is more out there than the political situation in our country. Somehow we have to find a balance between being upset and not caring because if we don't care, the people we most don't want to see in power will be.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881389390266605547.post-85250357660276048432008-07-23T05:43:00.000-07:002008-07-23T05:43:00.000-07:00I think we all have gray days from time to time.

I woke up this morning with the sound of a gentle rain on the roof. It has been in the 90s and this morning the 60s. What a wonderful day to curl up with a good book and enjoy being lazy.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078537002880283509noreply@blogger.com
