The election just got interesting to me
Commentators are already noting the irony that Obama with his Change America campaign has picked a politican who's been around the block in the Capitol City. McCain on the other hand has picked a little known woman Governor whose life in Alaska represents the American spirit in a way that will resonate with a lot of Americans. One more red flag in my head for Obama.
Governor Sarah Palin isn't enough for the McCain-Palin ticket to win my vote, but a review of her Wikipedia entry has me fascinated.
In Drew Style, I'll do a post on the 10 things (in no particular order) that I already like about Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin.
1. She embodies the spirit of feminism.
2. She is secure enough to be a feminist and a Republican.
3. She is secure enought to be a feminist and Pro-Life.
4. As a Republican, she was willing to tackle unethical behavior among her fellow Republicans.
5. She has the Alaskan Frontier Spirit.
6. She has the spirit of the Green Party wrapped up in a Republican body.
7. She hunts, snowmobiles, eats moose, ice fishes and has posed for Vogue fashion magazine.
8. She has shown that a woman can be a mother to five kids (one with downs syndrome) and a successful politican ... not that anyone ever questions male politicians ability to be fathers and politicians.
9. She's my sister in faith.
10. Like me, she played a wind instrument and was point guard for her basketball team.

I know an Olympian...sort of....
I'm excited for her and I definitely want to try to catch the race if I can. I'm a little bit jealous and a little bit regretful and I have to wonder ... if some girl from my little hometown in the midwest with whom I ran track made it, could I have? But I gave up sports to put my all into music... and this girl ran like it was her job so I know she deserves it and I'm so impressed.

Hot dog kind of day
I went to the hot dog stand near work.
I bought a hot dog and covered it with mustard, ketchup, a slice of pickle on either side, and slivers of onion on top.
Sat in the warm sun with a cool breeze on a wood bench.
Heavenly. What a needed break from my cubicle and fluourescent lights.

The fruits of my labor
Full shot of the garden
Cucumbers vining on the trellis.
Cucumbers ready to pick!
Okra blossom
First hint of okra...really excited, never grown it before. Can't wait to fry it in cornmeal batter.
The sturdy squash plant rapidly taking over the garden
Plenty of squash to come.
I finally have peppers growing rather successfully. In my first attempt two years ago, my peppers were consumed by some sort of blight. Last year when I tried to grow pepper plants from seed and puzzled over why they weren't growing, I discovered the cat peeing in the pot!
The fruits of my labor...two yellow squash and one cucumber which I promptly cut up, salted and peppered, sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and consumed. Sweet, juicy, seedy cucumber.

Jim List of Christian Beliefs
I wanted to use the same key as Drew, but I am introducing a category of, I believe something but do not see it as essential to the faith which will be @
@ = I believe this but don't necessarily see it as an essential of the faith.
X = I do not believe this
- = There is a nuance to this belief.
+ = This belief really is central to the faith, as I see it. (maybe or maybe not necessary, depending on who you ask)
+ That God exists.
+That God is still involved in the universe he created.
+That God cares about us.
@That God cares what religion you are in.
- That God is the Christian God, not the Jewish, Islam, Baha'i, Mormonism, etc.
- That all other religions are in grave error. (despite those faiths having equally compelling claims and theology to lay claim to this honor)
@That God guided the oral history of the Jews.
@ That God wrote the Bible, indirectly.
@ That God edited the Bible into its present form, indirectly.
X That God prevents textual errors from being introduced during copying, indirectly.
X That God would not allow the Bible to mislead us, but would allow other religious texts to mislead us.
- That sins are against God, instead of against other humans.
- That we have original sin that needs to be redeemed.
+ That Jesus was born to Mary as the Son of God.
+ That Jesus is in fact, God.
+ That Jesus could redeem sins through his death and resurrection.
- That Jesus' death is the only way to cause that to happen.
- That the story of Jesus was accurately told orally for a hundred years.
X The editing process to sort everything out was also guided by God, again, indirectly.
X That the Gospels were then transmitted down with no textual errors in copying or translation thereafter, thanks to God, indirectly.
XThat the parts of the Bible and the Gospels that don't make sense don't contradict any of the above.
X That if you choose wrong, despite this inconsistent and inexplicable chain, you are damned to hell.
I think I definitely might come off as more conservative. Boy, that's a switch from the days when we were dating.
