Yes, yes, and yes! It's not like the Repub standard issue female autobot in “adore” mode–it's love. And Biden's grands are SO cute. I just love when little kids try to pick up toddlers. It's adorable!

And the youngest, bless his little heart, seemed to think “Grandad, it's too many people out there. Don't let me go!!”

I'd imagine that Teresa Kerry is a font of knowledge and advice for Michelle. It was always my hope that she could be an “older sister” of sorts to Michelle. Teresa can give her insights few others can. As hard as it was for Teresa–you know, being an actual sentient being with thoughts and opinions–she knows that Michelle's pressures are about a 1000 times worse.

What a refreshing change it will be to have a First Couple that actually sleeps with each other instead of with other people, or not at all.

I won't make it to DC but the family will be taking the day off and having a big celebration. The day will have special meaning for us not just because of the swearing in, but Jan 20, 2009 would have been my Mom's 70th birthday. I know if Mom were still here she would be beside herself right now.

They said on MSNBC or CNN that the “America is a place called HOPE” was a tagline in his 1992 acceptance speech.

There is no suspense. Who cares who he picks? Every name that has been floated has been boooooring.

It was Black people (the most at any convention ever) and Hispanic people (the most at any convention ever) and Asian people (the most at any convention ever) and Native Americans (the most at any convention ever. The Montana delegation alone was 20% Native.)

My father was born in Inverness, Mississippi in 1920. He was 87 when he died last March.

The man who called the roll call vote from Mississippi looked exactly like my father just before he passed.

I fell apart.

You saw Craig? I was looking for Craig in the Maine delegation – he was not there..LOL

I knew Spike Lee was there – he had a funny interview yesterday on MSNBC. Had a great Obama t-shirt on.

I broke wide open and cried many rivers today.

Everyone delivered, but John Kerry stole the show. And it was quite a show to steal.

That's all for now.
