Home for good, for now.

I'm well rested, clean and laundered. And will be staying home for now.

I learned Airborne is the best medicinal discovery of our time, flying is fun, fat back is salty.

I got to hear Rev. Billy Kyles speak, meet hundreds of people, see the South.

But for now, it's back to New York State politics. Not nearly as glamorous, but important for our daily lives.

Have some cobbler...

A photo friend from the plane sent me this:

Articles, articles, articles.

For two weeks, these links should work:

Clinton, Obama in race for Edwards' voters

Clinton wins Florida in landslide

Rivals Clinton, Obama united against Bush

Edward Kennedy gives Obama a major boost

Why black voters shifted

Go Newsday team coverage. Almost like those AP days of random credit.

Link for pictures!

I finally uploaded my pictures. Here you go:

Home!

I am home!!

I enjoyed Atlanta this morning (I got to explore both the MLK Center AND CocoCola World!) and made it to the airport in time to take a tiny plane.

I did get some awesome airplane fun. First I was chosen for SSSS, which translated to special sweep by the TSA. They frisked me, went through my luggage, and put explosive detecting strips throughout my luggage. It was weird. And then I sat with a lady with a dog.

I am SO happy to be home! We even made it to the Neko Case show.

I will update tomorrow with pictures and articles and all that. For now, I am relaxing.

Homeward bound?

I am in Atlanta, at a Baptist convention.

Tonight I am sleeping here (in the Westin! The restaurant on top revolves! I hope I make it there in time to revolve!), and tomorrow at 2 p.m. I am flying home!!!

My husband. My house. Clean clothes. Reba is coming up for a Neko Case show, where most of our friends will be. I can't really believe it!

I feel like I have been away forever.

Arkansas is pretty awesome.

We went to a tiny breakfast buffet place and talked to African American voters for a while. Then drove to the next event, passing 4 bail bonds places (open 24 hours), and the Clinton library. I wish we had time to stop!!

And the high school marching band just played some Ozzie, so I am pretty happy.
