My man, Barack is doing very well. Just can't wait for the day I hear he is the nominee. I decided that I will not comment on the plethora of tragedies happening around the world right now. It's just too sad. And as Laoch said, "If you spend too much time thinking about all the bad in the world I think eventually you become immune to seeing the good." It's true.

While I was out running errands for a few hours the death toll report from Myanmar has climbed to 10,000! I just watched Laura Bush on CNN address this tragedy. She speaks quite well. I'd rather have her as as our president than Georgie any day. She seems like a sensible woman. Speaking of presidents...tomorrow is the much anticipated N. Carolina and Indiana primary. I am feeling guilty because I did not go to IN to canvass, although I was invited. Seems kind of silly to have trucked it to Ohio but not to go campaign in the next-door state of Indiana. I am extremely nervous about the primary tomorrow. I'm trying not to think about it because doing so sends my stomach into knots. It's kind of like watching a scary movie...I want to cover my eyes and ears and have someone tell me when it's over.

Hello folks. Scanning the BBC news today it's hard not to get depressed. The death toll of the cyclone that hit Myanamar is up to 4,000. Those poor folks can't get a break . Let's see what else is in the world news. Thousands in Somalia riot over food. . .let's move on to the homefront. Gas prices are at an all time high. Food prices are skyrocketing...yeah...honestly I just combed CNN and BBC and I can't find anything even mildly uplifting. Enough news.

I'm very excited that my new hero, Greg Mortenson, will be in my area for a fundraiser. Greg is the director of the Central Asia Institute, and is responsible for building schools which made education possible for over 25,000 children in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. His story is written in the book, Three Cups of Tea. I've just finished reading it and I'm very inspired. In fact, I'm so inspired that I didn't hesitate in purchasing the most expensive fundraiser ticket I've ever bought. Read the book. It's truly uplifting and will bring sunshine to your heart. If you order via the link above, 7% of the sales will go to help provide schooling for a girl in an impoverished area of Asia.

I've been amusing myself this morning by watching silly videos online. This one is my favorite.
