Nothing much beats sleep

I could post a long blog post or go to bed. If I knew anything about Good Advice, I'd have to say, honey, go to bed.

I just want to say, Obama/Edwards looks like a great idea. I loved the way they complimented Hillary. I thought it was bold for John Edwards to say Hillary is where she is on her own merits and not because of who she's married to. This is a nice, if probably untrue, thing to say. It still is nice. If it's not because of her husband, then okay but then it's because she's playing on racism and that's not much better. But I digress and I meant to be light and positive.

I'm tired because I traveled down and back to Newark yesterday. Nervous I'd miss the 4 am wake up, I woke up at every hour leading up to 4 am. Then I got home last night and couldn't really wind down to go to bed early. And again tonight, same story - not the Newark part but the winding down part. Had to finish a favor for a friend so I've been sucked into my computer and away from my millions of tiny little threads counted by small people in Indonesia for my pleasure. So, to bed I will go.

I'm liking the website www.dooce.com btw and think she's not getting a fair shake on the TV. What else is new? I'm also wondering if there's a space anywhere online where someone's not selling something - including themselves. Why is everyone wanting to get something from someone else. Is this a uniquely American phenomenon? Do you even know what I'm talking about? I must be rambling. Last night I was talking in my sleep about twittering. I guess that's when you know it's bad.

Don't want keyboard face.

How to attend a caucus

One word, bring a baby or toddler. Okay, so that's more than one word, but in short, if you are carrying someone short, you will get favored in an overcrowded, poorly planned yet generous and kind scene.

Sunday was the caucus here vacationland (Maine). One should think of this affectionate nickname as an only sometimes deserved name. Given the degree we have to beg friends to visit in the winter vs. the flood of visitors in the summer, I think I might campaign for it to be renamed the summer-vacationland. It is indeed not really the year round one - except maybe if you live in Mass but if you live in Mass, your bar is lower anyway...I digress. Point being, it was cold, it was snowy - in a good way. In the big fat flakes way. But the news called it a "snowstorm" I guess it would be a snowstorm if the equivalent weather hit a truly mild state like Maryland, but here, it was nothing but another winter day.

Back to the advice. If you go to an overcrowded caucus (and you should if you have one because what else do you have to do unless you work in a hospital or something?) bring a small child. You will get moved to the front of the line, or you will be justified to push ahead. They get heavy and impatient and that seems to justify pushing past the heavy and impatient adults. May not be totally rational, but go with it.

Get out and vote. Yes we can!
