I got credentialed for Obama last night, so I was there!!!! It was powerful to feel the entire stadium vibrating with the foot stomping, and to be close enough to take pictures of history makers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and to see one of my heroes, Charlie Rose, experiencing the same moment I was. We were experiencing, mostly Democrats, but also a huge contingency of Republicans, Independents, Libertarians… Well-dressed and sportswear … heels and sandals… all cultural and national heritages represented in both body and garb, at least by Denver standards…  old and young, people flying and driving half-way across the country and people like me who live close enough to walk ….. it was cool. (Yes, cool…. I’m middle-aged, and it’s one of my core words.)

I didn’t think anything could top the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. I was wrong. The Closing Ceremony is a vull-bodied spiritual experience. Do you agree?

Transformational, futuristic, intentional. Cirque de Soliele on a dramatic scale. How did they do it?

This isn’t dear diary, so the background isn’t relevant today. I haven’t been online much, let alone blog. Tonight I am happy with my day, and ceebrating by catching up with some friends online. I realize I love the asynch of it… I write my personal correspondence late at night when the night owl feels chatty. Until the Net, I had to synchronize my telephone chatty grlfrnd time with my friends’ schedules. Budgeted at least an hour a night tied to that princess phone cord….

Now… I pop online whenever and keep the good going.

The more technology evolves, the more we go back to the basics. We stay connected. If we care to, we expand emotional bandwidth. On our schedule. Love the flexibility of that. LOL.
