While we're on the topic of Obama, I will list a few things that moved me to tears in the last couple weeks! Why not?!:
- Obama's mention of 106 year-old Ann Nixon Cooper and the changes she's seen in her country....
- I also get teary eyed when I think of my dad. For the past three months, he has invested his spare time, money and sanity on fixing up a 1991 Toyota Tercel for me, while my Cutlass Olds stood on its last legs. Right down to the paper work, numerous trips to the stale MTO office, and us turning the key for the first time to reveal a full tank of gas, my dad did an amazing thing at helping me out and showing me how much he cares and supports what I'm doing. My Papa Gore was also extremely helpful in getting the body work and painting done. It looks brand new! And zips around like a mosquito! I am very grateful to have the family I do.
The man at the wreckers took my '88 Oldsmobile off our hands and asked if we'd like it to have a nice burial. My dad exclaimed "Drive it off a cliff". Then the man told me my car would be a tin can in three weeks and horrific images of it being shredded flashed through my mind. My dad asked if we'd ever been through a wrecker lot. I peered back at it and my curiosity heightened! What an eerie place it is! All the dead end stories. Such finality, that last car hug in the parking lot.

Now you got me blubbing like an actress!
You know, Vice President Gore has a nice ring to it...
So it's Saturday morning and I'm still in my jammies, listening to GO like most Saturday mornings... and oh, they're in Hamilton this week. Cool. And I'm listening, and there's a great musician called Valery Gore I've never heard of because I live in a cave... and oh, she says she grew up in Fort Erie...??!! Holy crap, the cave I live in is even deeper than I thought. But mere seconds later she says "Well... Ridgeway". Oh my goodness. Deepest cave ever. Since I work in Ridgeway. And am thinking that maybe I should read the local paper more than once a year?
All this to say, you did great.
Glad to have found your music.
Peace :)
