so that's it. we split. kaput. divide and conquer. we're done. jane and harley are finished as you know them! we've just returned from voting - two (formerly) happily married professionals, registered democrats, free thinkers. a little too free: "who are you voting for mom?", query the kids. "hillary", she replies. "dad, are you REALLY voting for obama?", they ask (with glee!). "yep, i'm doing it!", i say.

oh, they like that. now this is dinner table conversation. we each have our reasons, and we would both be happy, thrilled actually, with either candidate. [although frankly, a chair could do a better job than our current president]. so, although we're each playing for a different team, we're in the same league. the kids relish the possibility of a clinton-obama ticket, or an obama-clinton ticket. anything but gwb!

so, another right of passage, an opportunity for us to express ourselves and our vision for equality, health care, education, foreign policy. we're both confident that there's only one way to go, and that's up. my reasons? click HERE.

jane - elected to be feeling much better today - what a super tuesday!

it's the chemo, stupid!

so, tomorrow looms super tuesday!

we may not know who we're voting for yet - an odd place to be in pre-election day. but as they say, it's the economy, stupid! [it's the war, stupid too!].

but over here in our neck of the woods, it's the chemo, stupid! yep, it's all about the chemo. jane has done great with her treatments - halfway there. but this whole regimen has taken it's toll, even if all is running smoothly on the surface. although jane has felt much better this second round, it's tiring, and definitely takes over. anything that can kill all of your hair follicles, make you all bumpy and lumpy, and turn your body inside out has GOT to be potent.

somehow, double mastectomy seems quite tame compared to all of this. and despite jane's good spirits, and our belief that she will be 100% fine after all is said and done, this is not fun! the most perplexing thing is that jane really does look great. but she's a bit out of it - missing bits i say (well, maybe that's intentional), not her usual 'quick' self. she's doing her thing though - work, kids, the house, all despite my protests! to no avail ... and the husband rarely prevails.

i don't know about her, but i also feel out of it, full of aches and pains, and putting on pounds daily! i think they call that sympathy chemo! ugggghhhhh! super tuesday indeed ...
