…in my political party’s (now literal) “fight to the finish”, and I just have to publicly express how incredibly discouraged I am.  I was reading on 360’s blog (CNN / Anderson Cooper) last night and someone mentioned how ironic it was that everybody says they’re going to run a positive campaign, but when it turns […]

See it? We were THERE!!!

Posted by barbara on September 18th, 2006 filed in friends, just my opinion, life

The most spoken phrase in the state of Oregon on Sunday? “Did you see the Duck game yesterday?” To that, we answer, “See it? We were THERE!!” Yep yep - we were there, along with a record 59,260-some other fans (not bad for a stadium with a capacity of 54,00) (and I should make it […]
