So many pretty NN photo diaries, so little time. I had planned on doing one of those tonite, complete with images of my time in Austin, gratuitous pics of as many of you as I have pictures of (thank you to all who posed with me!), and a total recap of my experiences there. Then life intervened...

I once used proper spelling and grammar. My high school English teacher Ms. Smith, whose voice I hear in my head when I write, would have been proud of me.  I neither split infinitives nor left a clause incomplete, and my spelling was impeccable. Then one day, it happened...

We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos.  Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain.  We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.

This morning as I got my daughter ready for another episode of As Fourth Grade Turns, she showed me the book she was reading. She said she had to read it "soon" because the school librarian volunteer parent had to take it back to the town library. Whaaa? Turns out my daughter has waited patiently for her turn with this book, but the school library closes this Friday. So the volunteer went to the town library, checked it out, and will take it back after. I appreciate the effort, but here's my issue..

So, anything happen in the news lately? I heard something about this minister making a couple of speeches, and everybody seems to be politely expressing an opinion about it. Something to do with whites and blacks and colors? I had no idea...

I wondered if it would happen. I actually was pretty sure it would happen. Told others, even, that this would come to pass. I just didn't know it would happen to me. I've been reading all of the helpful diaries on Senators Clinton and Obama, and I now know...

Hiya!! It's that time of the week (otherwise known as Tuesday night Eastern) and time for DIDS. You regulars know DIDS is short for Damn, I Did Something. It's that chance we all crave, to tell everyone the large, small, glorious and mundane things we DID in the past week.

I'll be your substitute host for the evening! While talking to the DIDSman himself yesterday, I casually said "Hey, if you ever want a fill-in host again, let me know." Well, let it never be said that he doesn't make wishes come true... :-)

So what DIDS I do recently? Let's see...

I have managed to avoid, so far, getting sick this winter. I've had a cold, but not anything more serious. Yes, I say this while holding a container of antiseptic handwash in one hand and a packet of AirBorne in the other :-). What about you? ...
