Wow. Maybe I Should Have a Baby at 44

Andrew Sullivan got on the story while I was at the grocery store. Now that dinner’s done, I’m back to skimming through this evening’s episode of All My (Grand)Children. And look what Mr. Sullivan found!
It’s a picture of Sarah Palin while pregnant. In one of her previous four pregnancies. Go ahead and click on it. [...]

Post for My Father

Just got off the phone with my dad. Here’s the basic gist of the conversation:
“Write that in your blog.” “Put it in the blog.” “That’s exactly the kind of thing you should be writing.” “I don’t see why you’re not writing this in the blog.”
OK. I get it.
Denver was an overwhelming experience. It was like [...]

We Interrupt Your (Ir)regularly Scheduled Blog

to bring you news from the fringe.
In case you weren’t aware of them, there are rumors that Sarah Palin’s five month old baby is really her grandchild.
So, for everyone who’s feeling that being a 44 year old woman has suddenly become the coolest thing on earth (in other words, that there’s been a reversal of [...]

Night in Denver

I tried my best to post via the Crackberry from the stadium, but it was hard to stop being in the moment and start writing about it. It still is.
Friday morning. I’m back in the Limesicle Cafe.  My night last night took on a truly cinematic quality. I hope it will become clear when I [...]

Texans for Obama!

The delegation unfurled a huge Texans for Obama banner during “born in the USA.” took pictures. Will try to post tonight.
Suddenly it’s a disco in here. Lights flashing. Kool and the gang. This is pretty much the best stadium experience I’ve had since yankee stadium 1977. And we all know who won that one!
Durbin on. [...]

Live from Denver, stadium remote

I’m sitting over the entrance to section 319, enjoying the tuneful singing of lance’s best ex. Yes, i’m in. Phenomenal day going into astounding night.
It’s beautiful here, but my bare legs are going to get cold. I do have the PG signature pink pashmina. When my new bff Jeannine gets back with a delicious democratic [...]

The Band

Last night, I was perched right on top of the band in the Pepsi Center. (Will post pics later, if my technological renaissance doesn’t come to a crashing end.) Two thoughts:
1. This band is tight. Seriously good. (Here’s a little background information from NPR and a good blog post on the band’s origins.)
2. Watching the [...]

Live from Denver

My intention was to write up what the day was like each night when I got back to my cousin John’s. But a combination of exhaustion, not knowing the password the first night, and my oldest addiction rearing its delicious head (who wouldn’t rather read than write?) made firing this thing back up feel too [...]

Prematurely Grey 2.0

I’m back.
Frankly, as I’ve debated the resurrection of Prematurely Grey over the past two months (and don’t think that I’ve been thinking about anything else while upstairs “reading” all those history books I’ve been claiming to be interested in this summer), the don’t do it column kept tipping the scales. Going to the state convention [...]
