781. Politics, love, laughter... or life.

I think the election would be far more interesting if McCain picked a woman to be with him on the ballet.

For this reason, I am happy he has yet to consider a female running mate. This election seems to be more about how interesting and historical it is, rather than picking a leader who is best adept to putting our country back on track. (Also, the democratic party looks like two rivaling groups rather than a single group with two top-notch candidates.)

That's my view from Italy, anyhow.

In other news... last night I went with a friend to Luna Park which is set up at the Fortezza here in Siena. A Luna Park is what we would call a carnival in the States.



I had the best time in the house of mirrors! I ran into glass walls no fewer than 3 times. Who knew running into glass walls and seeing yourself reflected from every which angle would be so delightfully fun! I nearly peed my pants for too much laughter.


Be well, gentle readers. In life, be brave and be happy.

I'm not sure which one of those 4 I am, but I totally apologize for breaking your heart.

Be brave and happy yourself, sweetie.

Luna Park does look like fun. I was to a carnival just last week. I felt like I was ten years old again!
Love.
As much as I want to write something insightful and encouraging, I know that it would take too long (20 to 30....days!) to compose such a comment.

I hope it doesn't end badly.

Ah love. I know exactly of which you speak and can empathize. I find myself in a similar situation yet my struggle lies with learning patience--not my strongest suit.

I wish you the best, and offer no advice save this: Follow your heart and hold nothing back. Regret that which you do not that which you fail to do.

Mike: It's OK. I understand. It wasn't me. It was you. (And your big coffee mug is not without blame either.)

Sara: Thank you for your sweet comment, Sara.

Scot: Your comment is so sweet. I'm touched! Thank you.

Woody: Ah, good old patience. Your advice reminds my of a quote from Bertrand Russel, only I've seemed to have forgotten it at this moment! This time around, I'm seeing that it is better to hold some things back. Hm, I feel a blog post coming on!

Mona: I wish you and your hug were here, too. Take care, honey.
