Another pumpkin carved

Last year, when we carved James' first pumpkin on our kitchen floor I was seriously wondering whether I would see Halloween 2004; last night Lenore and I took James to a pumpkin carving sponsored by Early Childhood and Family Education (ECFE) -- so I guess I am still here! It was wonderful to see all the kids from diverse socio-economic backgrounds having a great time together and I was reminded of what is at stake in the coming election. Bush and his fellow warmongering aggrandizers of greed would no doubt see last nights ECFE event as the kind of (socialist?) frill Americans should do without. Fortunately, even Republicans are beginning to see the light. Hopefully enough good old-fashioned mainstreet Republican will realize what Texas Republican Mitch Dworkin has -- "country must come before party" -- let's see a surprise landslide repudation of Bush so we don't have to have the election decided in the courts where the no-paper-trail-electonic-voting scam almost assures a bitterly divisive litigated outcome.

My CT scan this morning went well although I won't have results until later this afternoon at the earliest. I'll add another post here as soon as there is any news on way or another.
