A rare and shining moment

Hats off to John McCain for attempting to stop the locomotive of fear and thinly veiled hate that both campaigns are running into the ground. He stopped in the middle of a town hall meeting where people were verbatim quoting his campaigns own commercials back to him, and he disagreed with them. I guess it's a hats off but it's really a disappointment to me that an obviously principled man- McCain- has sunk to the low I believe he has in order to try to win this election. Where is the maverick anyway? What I am seeing and hearing is acme model #001 republican political candidate. It doesn't even really seem like him at all.

I don't really know how I can even vote in this election. I am totally baffled at how there seems no choice. Is Nader running in this one? I saw him in an old episode of Sesame Street the other day I was watching with Sydney. I think we'd actually be better off with someone who can hold there own with Big Bird.

Someone once said it's impolite to talk about politics and religion. Hmmmm. I guess I lose there.

On a lighter note I had a blast today with Sydney- we went to the park, rode the train, had lollipops, played with bubbles. By the end of the day we were stuffed, happy and exhausted. I can never get enough of the smell of her hair, or is it her forehead. That smell that is "your child." My mom still does that to me. Smells my head or kisses my forehead. It must never go away, that passionate protective reverie that a mother has for her child. I am actually really grateful for the time we have just the three of us. Alot of people ask me when the next baby is coming, but we are just so happy with this one. We want her to have a little more time with our undivided attention.

I'd like to post a little piece I wrote for the Grace Quarterly about Budapest. I will do that tomorrow... that's all for now...

Love, Cameron
