Listen to the radio...

Sings Nanci Griffith & we agree. We'd be lost without it. Especially with computer trouble.

Obama/Biden 2008 - GG Central Goes Wild!

GG Central lacks cable but two networks relented & played some of the rally/introduction; we also had on C-SPAN Nerd-Radio. The BBC will have plenty on-line for us to listen to--they do a better job than American outlets. Sigh. Sign o' the times. At least we heard the strains of Bruce singing "The Rising." If only our late dear Ruthie M., our Jersey Girl BFF, could've hung on longer than than Jan. 2008. She was so excited about this election. This YouTube of Bruce & "The Rising" is for her sisters, cousins, nieces, & nephews, & the Fans of Ruthie. We'll be republishing her Red Shirt Friday & Ruthie's Manifesto sometime soon.

Bruce Springsteen: The Rising

TME: Too Much Excitement. A late afternoon catnap is in order. Officially, we're en vacances...at this point, though, it's pretty much just a nice thought. Ciao-meow.

Darfur Olympics: Day Two. How Refugees Live

In this webcast, Mia Farrow looks out across the expanse of a refugee camp for Darfurians, and describes how people live and still manage to hope after five years. "Our partners, Gabriel Stauring and Katie-Jay Scott of i-ACT / Stop Genocide Now, produced this event in Chad. Please visit their website to help bring Darfur's voices to the world." Coming tomorrow: Mia speaks to a woman about caring for children.
