Welcome back; hope the break lifted your spirits. Ditto on the 7th inning stretch. Go Kerry!

Yes, welcome back.

Best wishes from Wales – where whilst we can’t vote we are watching the election with a certain amount of trepidation.

Not that my vote will help much, since I live in an officially BLUE state, but I’m agoin’ to pull the Democratic lever as early as possible on Tuesday and have been preaching to the choir around me to do the same.

Glad to hear from you; get us some posts soon about your trip if you can. . .

And. . . go Red Sox! I lived in Boston before ever living in NY and getting regularly stuck in Yankees traffic. And in that time relived the pain of the RS fans. If the Sox can win, so can Kerry, I firmly believe!!

Of course, Obama! But since I’m not actually an Illinois voter any more, I was sort of sticking to my local folks. And I’m more relieved than you can know to hear that they still play Take Me Out … I was worried. As for France — it was swell. I’m working hard on the new book so blogging will still be sporadic at best, and I did my part to get out the vote today by getting an absentee ballot for my friend Nina, who is about to have twins, and has been put on bedrest. Get out the Vote! Vote for Kerry! Help is on the way!

They play “Take Me Out…” after America the Beautiful, during the commercials.

Glad you’re back! I hope your time was productive and full of wonderfully gratifying experiences. My chard has been suggesting it’s time for feeling a strong sense of renewal–it all fell over from heat in our brief Indian summer after more than a week of frosts, and has begun to stick up defiant leaves again. That’s some resolute chard; reminds me of you.

Also, I’d like to suggest Barack Obama and Tony Knowles for your list–both running against candidates who’ve not so much sought their candidacy but been given their places on the state tickets. Plus if Boston wins, that clears the cursed way for the Cubs’ overcoming their own billy goat of perennial disappointment.

Woo, welcome back!!! And YEE HAW for those Bosox! I was in grad school there a lonnnng time ago one of the years when they won the pennant during the past century and can only begin to imagine the bedlam that’s afoot back there tonight. Hope you are feeling refreshed and revigorated after your time far afield. I’ve thought of you with almost every single tomato harvested from my little “farm” this year. Welcome home

So glad to see you back! This means we’ll be getting to hear about Paris, yes?!?
