Super February 6, 2008

My December work based injury came full circle Saturday Night. A call to Kaiser told me I could do the Half Marathon and see a doctor this morning.When I awoke at 530 am Sunday and the rain poured and weather.com said there was a 70% chance of rain, I turned around and headed back for 4 more hours of slumber. I never sleep late but something about the heat in the room and the rain knocked me down.  I then headed to Kaiser to be told that balcetrine and a bandaid will be my daily operation every day, maybe twice, I mean I shake so many hands and you wouldn’t believe how dirty your hands get as shown by your band aid, for at least 3 months. A brunch and some Dreamgirls later, we caught up with the SuperBowl and our friends in SF.  I was thrilled that our conversation turned political.   

The conversation was all over, 2 of us were firmly behind Hillary, 2 of us in the Obama camp after moving from 2 other candidates who had recently pulled out and one of us somewhat undecided but leaning towards Obama.  With the help of TiVo, we were able to stop and discuss the campaign over some strong margaritas and discuss the race. 

 

We thought it’d all be over but no! Let the conversation flow! But hold onto the margaritas, it’s Lent and I give up alcohol for 40 days now, which is probably the safer way to have the type of political conversations I’ll be engaged in for the next 120 days because Oakland, OAKLAND!, will be having uber important elections in June.

We didn’t know that until today but trust it’s on, and I’m ready.
