You do too deserve this award, no matter what you may think, or your detractors may scream.  I remember that wonderful evening that thousands of people of all colors stood waiting to hear the election results, and the looks on their faces when you won.  The cheers, the tears, and the wondering smiles of joy on their faces, hugging each other.  Millions of people are on your side, hoping for a better world.  Don't be discouraged by detractors who scream their unknowing, money-serving epithets in your direction. 

We woke this morning to snow on the ground!  What a beautiful day, the leaves of red, gold and green, with a white frosting all around.  The wind sounds like winter, doesn't it?  Is it possible to tell exactly what time of year it is by the sound of the wind? 

Very strange psychological changes have been occurring in the minds of us mere mortals - last night John and I discovered that our minds have returned to ancient hurts that we only dimly recognized existed in our pasts.  We have seen these events and tears were shed, but we did not know what each of us was experiencing  until we talked about it last night.  What marvelous events have caused us to remember ancient sadness?  Is it related to the piratical health insurance companies' practices of gouging us to death?  Is it Autumn, coming to remind us of winter's approach?  Is the planet spinning into uncharted territory whose very space contains memories' fragments? 

Today, John has headed out to take his mother down-state to sit with his sister's daughter, who is having a baby.  Labor has begun, and who knows what new method of birthing the girl will try this time?  Last time, she had the baby in a pool of water, giving birth like a dolphin......

I'm staying home, cleaning house, and have decided to begin baking bread all the time now.  Today, it will be English Muffin Bread.  Next, it will be my own recipe for very healthy scrape-your-colon-out bread that really tastes good, also.  Yes, baking time is here.
