Politics & family

Bush volunteer advisor/aide quits campaign after appearing in Swift Boat anti-Kerry ad. Also, in Gainesville, somone picked up a flyer for a SBv rally... At the Bush campaign office. Oops!

My cousin got married Saturday night, at my parents' house. Lovely ceremony, her new step-kids are the sweetest and it was great to see my other first cousin again, as her husband is air force (but about to switch from active to reserve) so they've been in Alaska and Montana most of the time since we've been back. With Nicki's stepchildren, there are now, all of a sudden, five second-cousins for my boys, vaguely localy, which is a treat for parties and regular weekends. I'm so happy Nicki's happy; she wore my tiara, too, and I'm glad to see it get more use!

Greetings from Bayside!

smilie117 and I are here having lunch before I go drop her at her cruise. We hope everyone is having as sunny and breezy a day!
