Tell You [a] Little Story

I think it would have been good if we'd moved one month earlier. My head is swimming, in a good way. June was a major whirlwind. We moved in three weeks ago, but spent much of that time away: in Idaho and New York. Would you rather live in Boise, Idaho, or New York City? Both sort of nice and sort of horrible at the same time, in pretty much opposite ways. NYC smells like garbage and urine, but I love it. Or, I would love it, if only public restrooms were not protected like they were made of gold, and if there was somewhere to sit down. You know, other than The Park. Boise is a nice place, but it's Idaho. But they have Winco, and Target. That would be a tough decision for me to make, but I think I'd have to go the NY route. Steve might not join me, though. If Blogger would let me post pictures, I'd show you the distant picture we took of Michael Emerson, aka Benjamin Linus, after we passed by him, a few feet away on 55th St. There is probably no celebrity sighting that

I am signed up to receive breaking news emails from CNN. This one came today: "Sen. Hillary Clinton will officially end her campaign for the presidency by the end of the week, multiple sources tell CNN." What?! Hillary, you lost. You already lost. What is this end of the week stuff? It already happened, you cannot win! Why is this breaking news? Why is this news period? The news came yesterday when Obama secured enough delegates to be the Democratic nominee. To me, that means her candidacy is already OVER. I just don't understand. I'm extremely annoyed that she's trying to strongarm her way onto the ticket. Dear Barack (because of course you read my blog), You don't need her. Don't succomb. The possibility of my vote depends on it. Emily
