Bells were ringing in the old capital of the Confederacy. This was the wedding weekend to beat all wedding weekends, our high school buddy’s baby girl, Maggy, married her Marine. Which means the Big Chill got to celebrate another milestone together. Reunited, and we all sang Suite: Judy Blue Eyes one more time.
It’s funny to think we were all showing off our grand baby pictures when once upon a time we’d have been comparing different methods of nonviolent resistance. We’re lucky really, to have stayed together, to have so many marriages survive the 80s. Big shoulder pads and big egos. We’ve mellowed.
I caught ten minutes of Hillary’s speech in Northern VA for Terry McAuliffe yesterday. When I heard her say “evidence-free zone” I knew we had our sound bite. Ms Clinton is one of us. Our generation fought against war, and we can tell the difference between a political stunt and a fiscal policy.
Maggy’s invitation asked just one question of us, besides the requisite RSVP. “What song would get you up on the dance floor?” So I’m asking my fellow Virginians the same thing. What’s it going to take to get you to the polls on November 5th? “Don’t let the past remind us of what we are not now.”

Important thoughts. Now tell us what song you picked! Mine is always “Fools Rush In.” Perhaps a bit dull, I know.
Fun Barbara! I said “Anything Beyoncé”

Hi Chris–You may like to know that the Tea Party guy running in your state is sending out “Hail Mary passes” all of the way to NJ. How his campaign got my email address is a matter of wonder because he sure has picked on the wrong person to seek help from. I am still in celebration mode because we managed to keep the right wing wacko Tea Party candidate from becoming our Senator. The nation should be proud of us because our Cory Booker is really something special–Stanford grad-Yale Law-Rhodes Scholar. Best regards from the Jersey Shore, Bobbie
Cuccinelli is running scared. Congratulations to the state of NJ, I knew that common sense and sanity would win out in the end. Always love hearing from you Bobbie!
For Cuccinelli, “Hit the Road Jack”
