In addition to taking to the streets, we take to the blogs these days. <BR/><BR/>I think I can understand some of your frustration, though. I spent over two hours this morning searching for a non-political topic I was up for writing about. I noticed then how the political stuff was distracting me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400455429821166661.post-61065670299945971652008-10-01T16:11:00.000-04:002008-10-01T16:11:00.000-04:00Christine,We should meet up at Dodge.

I see it especially in my coworkers. The election, the roller coaster markets, Palin--that's all we talk about, it's distracting and makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>Dodge happens every two years, so I hope to see you in Stanhope, NJ, in 2010.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400455429821166661.post-25463024750866754592008-10-01T03:46:00.000-04:002008-10-01T03:46:00.000-04:00Maybe you will write sth polished tonight.
