Monday, the convention, and a thunderstorm

As for the convention, here are the results of a CNN poll that I took part in today:

How much of the Democratic National Convention do you plan to watch?

A lot	15%	48699
A little	29%	92136
None	56%	179779
Total Votes: 320614

I’m one of the voters who reported “a little,” the 29%.

I watched the convention for about thirty minutes, heard Ted Kennedy’s great speech (he looks and sounds great).

As usual, I’m glad that Monday is over–4 days to go, then 3 days off!

Woot!

Seattle is cool and very wet today; I came home in a thunderstorm.

That’s Seattle for you!

Take care everyone.

TTFN.

This hot weather doesn’t happen often in Seattle.

Thank goodness.

Yesterday, Seattle City Light, the great northwest God of power, notified downtown Seattle businesses of a severe power drain, and urged our housing and clinical offices to conserve power.

We shut off lights and turned off computers.

Last night, I ended up going to see my grandchildren, and ate birthday cake with Luka, the big boy 5 year-old!

His birthday party is next week, but my son made a yummy vegan cake that we all enjoyed.

I traveled home via bus, and it was a hot and disagreeable ride.

But when I got home, I settled into a great cucumber melon bubble bath.

Terrific!

Today, I’m getting my laundry done early, before it gets too hot, then I’m off to spend a few hours with my family.

May your Saturday be a good one.
