OOOOoooooh the Obama Excitement

So as the worst new lawyer ever, and I don't mean that in the I suck at my job kinda way (I may very well I just don't really know) more the has worked less than 2 months and has had to take time off for her husbands surgery and her mouth surgery I feel generally guilty that I don't work enough, but NOT guilty enough to resist asking if I could go to the Obama rally, it was two blocks away and a straight shot view from my office, who could sit by and watch history in the making from 10 stories up, not this girl.  I was really pretty impressed with La Crosse, a turn out of 15,000 or somewhere near there is really pretty great for a town of like 55,000!! In the grand scheme of things I even had a pretty good place in the massive crowd.  I think it was a great speech generally and one that was worth listening to regardless of your political background, he is just so charismatic, or maybe he just seems that way because we have had 8 years of horrible public speaking by Bush, not really sure.  Needless to say it was worth standing there in the chilly line almost two hours before it started to hear him speak for 40 min, this is by far the first election I have cared to hear someone speak or had the opportunity, I even went out today and put our sign in our yard, J is wondering if it will inspire anyone else on our street to put out signs.  I was a bit bummed I didn't get any pictures, for whatever reason I though cameras were a no no so I went sans mine.  We had this guy who was right behind us who sketched pictures of the crowd the whole time we were there, he was a pretty good artist. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity in the crowd, children, adults, people of all ages and backgrounds, coming together with hope for change, it definitely made you want to act, so I said I would try to keep this blog from getting too political so I will just leave it at no matter your party, just please remember to take the time Nov. 4 to vote! I won't even try and tell you who to vote for, well unless you drive by my house =)
