I wrote here for the first time in a very long time last night..now here I am again already! Not a lot to write about tonight...just thought I'd stop by and see if there were any comments to my last nights blog. Nope....not many of the people I know know I even have a blog. Leslie Linder from my previous job was the one who brought me here the first time...I wrote a couple of pieces back in 2007...
I have to email my friend Boots before I sign off for the night...she started a new job yesterday...hope it went well for her...she's been unemployed for a long time...happy she finally found something...I hope it "speaks to her heart"..
My former job at TNS did that for me...helping women (mostly) find their way our of domestic violence relationships was very rewarding to me...actually getting paid to assist, educate, and help keep safe many many women and children (and a few men) felt like my "life's work" for all the years I worked there...but now i'm here...in Springfield with Chuck...he's the love of my life...my soul mate...someone I've been with through many lifetimes...and beyond..
ok..enough for now...time for ice cream and a little "telly" before bed..
good night..

Do we really want to elect "Thug" LaPage?
I haven't blogged in a while...since 2007 actually. Time to update...
I was planning (and may still do so) to write a letter to the Editor, Bangor Daily News re: Paul "Thug" LePage. I have renamed him "Thug" after listening to him speak to reporters re: his tax "issues"...I guess it was the first time I had heard his voice. It's a very gutteral voice..sounds a lot like the Mafia kind of voice...a voice of the streets...where it's either go along with the "big guy" or kiss your sorry butt good-bye! Now I'm not saying that Thuggie would want to actually kill anyone. I don't think he would do that for any reason. But as a many generational Mainer I'm very sad at the prospect that this man would represent ME (or even the little me). Just think....he wins the election, he's interviewed on CNN (more likely it would be an interview on Faux News) and he starts speaking in his "street" voice...I would, at that moment, disavow any connection to the State of Maine...the State of my heart. I hope the voters aren't taken in by this man...I hope we are all wiser than that....I hope...we'll see....
If worse comes to comes and it's Thuggie in Augusta and Palin in DC in 2012 I can guarantee that it will be Edie in Canada...eh?
