Images from New York


Here's the first of the photos from my long weekend in NYC. I'm always glad to see Jon, even if it's just on a billboard. If it weren't for Jon Stewart and beer, I don't know if I'd be able to survive this political season.

Reentry into life back in Chattanooga has been rough after being in such a vital, vibrant place like New York, and being there with so many incredible activists. Watching the Republican Convention hasn't helped at all. I don't normally have time to indulge in much escapism beyond just watching the Daily Show on weeknights, but in honor of the convention I'm going to revive my "In Case That Idiot Wins the Election (or steals another one)" List:

1) Bergen, Norway 2) Southwest Ireland 3) ???

... or, if I decide to stick it out here in the good ole USofA:

1) Boston, MA-NH-ME 2) San Francisco, CA 3) Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV 4) Long Island, NY, or 5) New York, NY (according to best places)

... or perhaps:

1) Baltimore, Maryland 2) Little Rock, Arkansas 3) Frederick, Maryland 4) Charleston, West Virginia 5) Portland, Oregon (if find your spot is to be believed).

Hrmmm... I know I'd love to live in NYC. I'm also intrigued by DC, but I couldn't live there as long as the current clowns are under the big top...

Lessee, election day is Nov 2. That gives me two months to clear out the guest room. And you, missy, will have to learn to use an umbrella in gale force wind, as the locals do.

I have a feeling they will be two long months. I'll be perfectly happy to learn to lean my umbrella into the wind, if that's what's required, though. What an adventure it would be!
