So, what was a sweet time for you this week that you would like to share?

Fresh off Obama's speech last night, it's hard to say that wasn't sweet for me.  But I do have to say the encouragement I received from the theologian about my first draft was goooood.  I enjoyed reading your responses last week.

Ditto on the theologian's comment!

I'm listening to the McCain rally now, to confirm that he has chosen Sarah Palin for the ticket. It's a cagey move, and I'm sure the fact that she's a woman played a large part in choosing her, which is a good news/bad news sort of thing... But she's the only one he could have chosen who could make me think about voting for him... and I still don't think I will, but it's great that at last the Republicans consider a woman is fit to govern (should the need arise).

(A side question: What would patriarchalists do if she were to become president? Leave the country???)

Dana,

I hear ya! Picking a woman will get McCain criticism and praise from men and women alike! But it shows he, too, is thinking change--and will appeal to some who are genuinely undecided. Think of it. One heart attack away from a woman president.

I think his choice brings much complexity and consternation to patriarchalists!

Taking my older boy on his orientation school bus ride and kindergarten open house. I was so thrilled to see how excited he was and how he jumped right in to meeting and playing with the other kids. I think he will do just fine!

Obama's speech was a great moment, and I look forward to learning a bit more about Sarah Palin. But I'd have to say my highlight for the week has been walking through the open space and around the lake in our neighborhood after dropping the kids at school this morning. The wild anise is in bloom, and the whole area smells like licorice.

Christa, Ah! kindergarten! Sweet.

Maria, sounds wonderful
