Recovering from the Rally to Restore Sanity
Woke up early and stayed late to dodge the crowds for the Rally to Restore Sanity, covering a lot of ground in-between. Thus, I am bushed today, glad to be sitting and waiting for Trick-or-Treaters.
Despite the weariness, I could not be happier to have gone. The dueling performance of Peace Train by the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens and Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne was worth it just on its own. Was practically tailor-made for Tanya and me.
Enjoyed the company of our new couple friends as well. Nice to have finally met another couple that we can relate to as a couple (and hopefully vice versa). I call them an alternate universe version of us, similar in the big picture but different in the details.
Good music, good company, and good message. Not that the crazies on the fringe will appreciate that. The Tea Partiers like to talk about the Founding Fathers of our country as if they all agreed on everything, but they didn't. Jefferson remixed his Bible. Franklin warned against prejudicial revenge. Washington advised against political parties. They were rational sane human beings. Wouldn't it be great if we were all that way?

I wish i would of contacted you before I went to DC. I went to DC, and shot some modeling pics of my friend, down by the food market. When we pasted the rally, I thought, aw man I bet Mark is here. Perfect opportunity to meet.
Next time.

Yeah, definitely would have had to coordinate ahead of time since the cell towers were swamped. If I could have gotten a connection, I could have invited you over to our spot. For future reference, drop me a line if you're ever near Dulles Airport (except this week).
