This is, of course, still a personal blog.

I haven’t gone all political.

Two things from the last month I left out that I didn’t want to, and one addendum:

* * * * *

THE GODFATHER

About a month ago, Jess and I went to Saturday Mass at St.

Experience has made me a bit more cynical about these things, and maybe I overshot reality in my perception of the debate yesterday.

A lot of commentary has shown that, while there wasn’t a definitive winner, Kerry succeeded in kicking off some of the shackles that have clung to him throughout the campaign, while Bush seemed as mired in his usual weaknesses as ever.

In the last two weeks, not much exciting has happened.

I finished unpacking for the most part. Visited Jessica several times during the week, all while the students at Loyola and the U of C filtered in and took over.

DEBATE

I read four pages of the New York Times on the debate tonight, and a bunch of commentary.

I was going to write something on the subject for this post… a “look for this” or “stream-of-consciousness musing,” but frankly I’ve heard so much about it before the fact, I’m already tired of it.

There I was, last Sunday, all pumped up and ready to go write letters for the DNC Media Corps.

When I left the rally, they said there’d be an email in my Inbox when I got home.

I’ve yet to hear from them…

Okay.

it as it is…

I’ve displayed the same political in the three posts for two reasons.

The first reason is SYMBOLIC.

Today I went to a rally for the DNC in Skokie.

While I still don’t want to stick my neck out too far in terms of party affiliation, I don’t want to not get caught telling my kids that I was involved in this election.

it as it is…

But I want to post frequently and passionately. I want this blog to be an echo of the best of what’s in my head.

Here I am: I’ve got my beef ramen and my coffee. I’ve got Dante Dorsey and the Utah Saints.

Well, Euphemism is actually generating some attention these days, though not in any way I had expected.

Apparently Google and Yahoo searches of “Canaryville” take people to the contexts page I provided for “Canaryville Blues,” and I’ve received a flurry of emails ranging from praise to irate.

This is the greatest month of the year, and here its almost half over!

I need for something exciting to happen. Now!

Email me about exciting happenings. Do it!
