grant is headed for ohio

 

Grant is getting on a bus headed for Ohio to work for Obama. He'll be back on Sunday, but they hope to talk to a million people this weekend. Great work Grant!!

I voted

 

And it seems this time my vote may mean something. Get out and vote!

Check out the video I posted late last night...funny stuff.

very funny, but a bit scary too

Grant showed me this tonight...crazy funny.

sushi anyone?

Last night I made sushi, specifically makizushi, for the first time and it went pretty well.  I didn't have too much problem with assembly, and even tried a roll with rice on the outside (as my first roll), as you can see those turned out in more of an eye shape. I made two kinds of rolls, a spicy tempeh roll (from Veganomicon) and an elephant roll...both were very tasty.  The rice was a bit mushy, so I'll have to work on that, but we look forward to trying again soon. 

Last night we stayed up late watching the returns. Some of my family are caucusing in Maine today and my niece actually saw Obama yesterday...very exciting. I'm hoping she'll blog about that today.  Obama gave a good speech last night. It was still his message of hope and change, but with some substance behind it.  It was something I've been saying he needed to do and obviously my thoughts rank high in his decisions.

Today Grant and I are off to Eli's dedication and brunch. More later...

Yes We Can

I think many of you know that I haven't chosen a candidate since my hopeful, Kucinich dropped out of the running. I live in DC and feel like I have some more time to decide.   I'm not going to talk about my political views today. However, I did want to share this pretty incredible video that was shared with me today.  It was recorded by will.i.am and other artists,  over Obama's New Hampshire speech.  I found that speech, as many of Barack's speeches, inspiring and yes, full of hope.  I guess other's did too.  Whether you support Barack or not, I think this video speaks to the hope for change that many people are searching for and are ready to be a part of in the coming year.
