Julie and I went to the Barack Obama rally in the Boston Common on Tuesday. It had been a while since either of had paid any attention to anything going on in the honest world of politics. After so many years of Bush bullying, it seems important that we turn our chins up and try again. I mean, there are few people that are less patriotic than me, but as Julie said, "I feel a little too old to not know anything about the candidates."
The rally was interesting. I am not necessarily an Obama supporter, but wanted to hear what he was all about. I thought Deval Patrick's introduction speech was better written than Obama's, but that really just says something about their individual speech writers. Barack is indeed the charismatic man of the people that I had heard he was ( and by man of the people, apparently that means it is OK for him to make common grammatical speech mistakes... "We're doing good!"... ugh.) Of course everything was unsurprisingly hopeful and there were promises for a better tomorrow through extremely vague means.
Now I have the daunting task of checking out the rest of those political freaks.
In other news; I've been eating a lot of chocolate and am about to bake ginger snaps. I will hear this week if I got the apartment that I want so badly in Davis Square. The Sox won game one of the world series.
