Boston--

[ray of light]

Just got back from Boston. I was thrilled to be able to see JK's reaction to the cards. You'll never believe it though...my name wasn't on any of them! Apparently, I missed the boat again this year.

Of course, it's all my fault, since I refused once again to have the card mailed to me, where it would likely have come to a complete halt until sometime 5 years from now when I would discover where I put it for safe keepping.

Anyways, John Kerry checked out every signature and post stamp. I could see that it really warmed his heart. Clearly, all of us (and everyone who signed the card but couldn't come), are quite special to him.

Even though I wasn't sure I was going to go, thanks for everyone who put out the cat-calls on the blog. A special thanks to the person who dealt with hotel rooms and roomies. (I can't remember who did that kerry-cat call.) I wasn't going to go until I saw that I would be able to share a room with someone. I had a great roomie and a great time.

Tay and everyone, thanks for all the cat-herding you've done both here at DU and there in Boston for the last 4 months.

Meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......puuuuuuuuuuurrrrr....I'm a happy Kerrycrat.

1. Hmm. To purr, or not to purr?

Okay, the purr thing works for me. Much warmier and fuzzier than doing the squee thing.

2. squeee is so not me.

3. Um, I'm hip to that. Me don't squee none neither.

I think it maybe has something to do with that pesky darn Y chromosome thingie in my case. Boys are taught not to go squee at a very early age in most families. <grin>

4. You didn't squee, but

we sure did have some laughs. That was one fine weekend, from start to finish. I was hoarse from laughing and talking so much with everyone.

And if anyone needs a cat-herder for hire...I'll give you a big rec.

6. Awww, Ray, it was my honor

to be allowed to cat-herder such a wonderful group.

You good people were just amazing. I considered it a treat to have you there and a deep honor to be able to do the little things I did to make the weekend happen.

BTW, we had people there from Friday on. The whole weekend was a blast.
