I want to get over my disappointment in today's news long enough

to say thank you to the people here in the Kerry group who offered welcome and wisdom and much humor over a long period.

What a lift you are, and I say thank you for it.

This group stays around. We have a war to end you know.

See ya in the trenches sweetie!

Don't worry, OC -- I'm here for the duration. JK will always be my president!

And there's always 2012. :-)

Cuz I'm not going anywhere.

(Ahm, I think the Senator is a at least a low tenor, or possibly a baritone. Doesn't work with that song. Sigh!)

I will be here. Ahm, I will also be collecting sigs next year to get a really good man re-elected. Anyone want to help, just keep in touch.

start posting recipes for pie crust, I'll read them.

And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
as sung by Jennifer Holliday in the musical Dreamgirls

And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever go.
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you.
I'm not living without you.
I don't want to be free.
I'm staying, I'm staying,
And you, and you, you're gonna love me.
Ooh, you're gonna love me.

And I am telling you
I'm not going,
Even though the rough times are showing.
There's just no way, there's no way!
We're part of the same place,
We're part of the same time.
We both share the same blood.
We both have the same mind.

And time and time we have so much to share.
No! No, no, no, no, no!
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there.
Darling, there's no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you.
I'm not living without you.
You see, there's just no way,
There's no way!

Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout.
You can say what you want,
I'm not walking out.
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike and kill.
I'm not gonna leave you,
There's no way I will!

And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever, ever go.
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you.
I'm not living without you,
I'm not living without you.
I don't want to be free.
I'm staying, I'm staying,
And you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me.
Ooh, you're gonna love me.
You're gonna love me!

Okay, over dramatization concluded. Ah, I feel better now.

Kerry forum. And that's how it started back in Dec. '04, and so shall it remain.

He'll be a stronger advocate now that he's been unleashed. So will we.
