Gah.
I went offline at lunchtime today, thinking that the project I was undertaking would take a few hours. Ten hours later (isn’t that always the case?), I was back. So, I missed the global sell off and the launch of the Obama campaign’s response to the McCain’s campaign’s whining about stuff a guy did when Obama was a kid in Hawaii.
I’ll try to compensate for today’s lack of attention tomorrow…
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph, and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
