Everything seems SO empty
My inbox isn't overflowing and there is no activity at Joe's site. It feels like a gym after a major event and everyone has gone home.

1. I feel empty.
It's been awhile since I have been so passionate about a cause.

8. This is true, but it isn't easy finding a vehicle for the cause

But let's try to remember that Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.

11. Only when you stop
laughing! Laughing, crying, singing....they're all healing for the heart that's been bruised by the vagaries of fate. Hold my hand, sister, and we'll break on through to the other side. I promise you.

14. Yes it is
I'm originally from Chicago, so can't complain too much about the rain, but right now it makes things rather gloomy.

3. My best friend from LA just called to check on me - he knows I'm bereft.
It's like I'm mentally wandering around and not knowing what to do or where to go....

I wonder how the Bidens are doing tonight.

4. I know
I usually sit down at the computer with a purpose and a focus. I have places I go every day and now I'm meandering. Strange feeling.

6. I went over to my other board at bellsouth. Nice condolence notes
waiting for me. I don't know what else to call them, it seems appropriate to me. I think Joe and Dodd may have had a heart-to-heart. Who knows?? I'm going to miss Dodd also, he's wonderful... I can't sleep and I need a shower.

17. I can imagine that heart-to-heart
JB: "Well Chris, I guess Al was right after all. Substance and competance aren't what sells."

CD: "You got that right, Joe! I mean, heck, I even went back and filibustered the retroactive immunity thing - look what that got me - zip!"

CD: JB: "Yeah, I know. And I got an actual plan together - AND got it passed - to start cleaning up bush's mess in Iraq, make it even remotely possible to do all the stuff folks like Barack and John are talking about."

JB: "Well, Chris, what say we old war horses go back to the Senate, where we have seniority and actually have the respect of our peers (well, they aren't our peers, but anyway the other senators) and just pretty much raise hell?"

CD: "Sounds good to me; whoever takes over the Oval Office will probably be better than the disaster who's there now, and we've learned a lot about dealing with the real evil empire, so maybe we can perform real oversight, advice and consent, and restore the balance of power."

JB: "Yep. At least hard work in the Senate can yield results. This running around in the cold only to be pretty much told to take a hike stinks!"

CD: "I don't usually talk this way, but there is no more appropriate expression: Fuck this shit! Let's go home!"


JB: "Right on, brother. You go first, then me. I'll see if I can disrupt Barack's acceptance speech for at least a minute or two, just for shits and grins."
