I love this kitchen – if I do say so myself.
Almost finished… And it really is almost finished. Judy’s kitchen in her Inman Park cottage has turned out wonderfully. I love it when I can see something in my mind’s eye and then, like a negative in developing fluid, it begins to appear before my very eyes.
Judy has a huge collection of beautifully colored pottery bowls and folk art that will knock your socks off. Her her house looks like it has been there for years, when really her apartment in the house

He Shook My Hand
Today at the Clinton rally I found myself in the second row of people right behind the barricade for the Jim Martin Rally at Clark Atlanta. Clinton gave a great speech. He said Jim can get elected if we want it bad enough. That’s what it takes. Chambliss is counting on people not going out to vote and it is up to us to make sure that they do, if we want it enough.
After the speech, Clinton came over the the barricade and started working ht eline. I just willed him over. I knew he would come my way. And then he did and well actually it was more like a clasp of hands, we shared a moment. Bill Clinton ranks way up there in my book of famous people I would like to spend an evening with. I am on cloud nine.

She shared the stage with Clinton. . .
Our very own Dene Shepherd spoke today at President Clinton’s Rally for Jim Martin at Clark Atlanta University. Dene has been tireless in her dedication to getting Obama elected and the day after Obama was elected she was down at the Martin campaign headquarters volunteering for Jim Martin. Dene worked for months at the Spring Street Obama office and then she was the lead person for our Get out the Vote effort here at Krog Street for the five days leading up to the election.

Who is that masked Wigwam Lover?
I ran across a blog today, Chronic Tea, written by someone that obviously fancies the Wigwam Building. I am thinking that it may be one of the new owners of Unit D. I had to read many of her posts before finding that clue. And I think it is a her, but maybe not.

I’m Back- kind of
Is Mercury in retrograde? Something has to have been going on. For absolutely no reason that I can fathom, my computer gave up the ghost last week. In desperation, I took it over to the Geeks and they first told me that it was “just the motherboard”. Well, okay, I left my horrible laptop with [...]

Addicted to Keith and Rachel
Now that the election is over I still find myself tuning in to MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olberrman” at 9:00 and “The Rachel Maddow Show” at 10:00. It’s not that there isn’t any news these days post-election, but it was just so damned exciting before. What crazy ass thing was McCain going to do next? What are the polls saying? What was Sarah up to?
Back in the golden days of yesteryear ( actually about two years ago), I loved to listen to Rachell Maddow on Air America. She was smart and funny and slightly sarcastic but did I mention that she was really smart? It turns out that she has a PhD in Political Science from Oxford University where she was a Rhodes Scholar. But then Air America was taken out of the Atlanta Market and we progressive Democrats were back in the wilderness in regards to good daily news with a good dose of fact checking regarding the shenanigans that were going down in Washington with the Bush and Cheney crew.

Save Save Save
Yikes, I wrote a masterpiece on my feelings about the campaign and the Obama win last night. It took me about an hour and a half to finish and polish it up. Then, at that moment my computer froze up and I lost it. I lost the whole thing. And then I really lost it! [...]

Creativity Galore Inside and Out
I just snuck off for an hour from the Obama “Get out the Vote” district center being housed at my loft, to go to an art sale in Candler Park at the home of Janie Wright. She Has a studio in a small building in her backyard which is a delight. One of Janie’s former obsessions was creating gourd art. Now she has gone over to shells.
I just love to look at artist studios and Janie’s is an amazingly delightful place. Her work area is full of shells, separated into containers by type with all of her supplies readily available. This little studio set back in a lovely garden, looks like it would be a wonderful place to work or just to sit and bask in the dappled sunlight.
