WHIRLING SILENTLY IN SPACE

I spent the weekend in kind of a fugue state, due mainly to total wipeout fatigue from the week of Too Much Fun, also due to the most beautiful weather yesterday.  if we always had that kind of weather i think we'd all be saints.  the sky was southwestern blue, a light breeze, temps in the seventies.  in the morning we worked in the yard, then when we knew the Beachgoing Public would be leaving, we went to Cape Henlopen and took a long long hike along the shore.  i'd be totally sane if i could walk by the ocean for hours every day.  maybe.  i think.  sort of, anyway.

today was pulling life back together, shopping at SuperFresh, Concord Pet, and Staples, for yes, staples, for all of us: people, animals and computer.  the Kerry group is having a Democratic Book Party at Books and Coffee in Dewey Beach Friday night, to coincide with the release of Clinton's book.  there'll be all those other books too, that have come out in the past year or so, trying to let the world know the sea of duplicity in which this administration has been swimming.  so the Issues Committee is trying to get some stuff together for handouts, and to recruit more members for the group.  i'll have voter registration training on Thursday, and be ready to register folks this weekend.  i'll be busy with all this for most of the rest of the week, but hope to find some time to read and catch up on everyone's journals. 

the idea was to take the summer off to try to regroup myself, but i don't seem to be exactly relaxing!!  i'm determined not to get into a position where any of this political stuff can stress me out.  i'm going to remain a drone, a worker bee, and not become the head of any committee.  so far i have succeeded.

A long long hike along the shore...that sounds wonderful.

I'll be busy these next two weekends registering voters in Missouri.  It's fun, it's patriotic and, surprisingly, stress-free.  Registering Voters -- what a wonderful way to celebrate July 4!

It's good to hear that you are getting involved, but be sure to schedule a little down time in along the way.
