Just heard a song whose lyrics seem to fit so much right now...
It's Train's "Calling All Angels." I felt like singing it to John. An excerpt:

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me...


The best line (our new theme?):

I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up...

1. That's beautiful
I was thinking about what Clinton said on Thursday, and contrasting that with what Kerry said on Friday.

And then I thought about that damn appropriations bill with the abortion ban clause attached reared its ugly head in the news, with Hillary voting yea and J/E voting nay.

One side is being consiliatory, the other vowing to fight the agenda.

I'd say Kerry is not giving up.

And I do believe I will end up watching alot of CSPAN in the next 4 years, just to watch for him.

2. Have I mentioned yet today how much I love your sig painting?
I know I say it almost every time I write you...I hope it's not getting old.

I'm trying to remember the things Clinton said Thursday...which remarks were you thinking of specifically? Or is it just the general tone?

I woke up today with that Train song still in my head. This is the first verse:

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said...


And we're...calling on you, John!

I won't give up if you don't give up...
