Candle Vigil Peaceful

Had Great Eats

Last Night I attended one of the thousands of candle vigils in support of Cindy Sheehan, the mom who lost a son in Iraq and who is camped outside Bush's retreat ranch. About 20 attended.
A few observations:

1. there was a Mountain radio show host there interviewing the host - I met him and it felt cool even though I never listen to that station. One day I can say I met him. I listened to his report this morning and it was cool.

2. It was on a street corner in a quiet suburban neighborhood - a total of two cars drove by and a few people walked their dogs.

3. The positive energy was great nonetheless and after about 20 minutes, we walked down the street and into the host's house for some great snacks.

4. My favorite snacks were: 1. a delicious chocolate chip cookie and one of those french stick things with chocolate and crispy cookie.

5. My mom ate cheese and meat and some cookies.

6. Later that night my hands swelled from an allergic reaction to what I can only guess was some almond in the French cookie.

7. On the way out of the host's house, the host discussed her poster "Elect a Madman and you get madness" with a picture of Bush. I told her my favorite saying: "Prevent Mad Cowboy Disease" which I saw at the democratic caucesses in November.

8. The moon was so full and very beautiful on the way home
