Laura here - some random thoughts. Here's Tim in full Sean Penn mode dealing with the paparazzi. He is ready for Hollywood!

Well, I started the blog but I never contribute, which is probably fine since all I tend to do is rant about stuff. So... I'm ranting. I'm still obsessed and depressed with the Samantha Power meltdown, as she is my great hope for the Obama administration, among others. I am in full agreement with Hendrick Hertzberg (The New Yorker) on this one -http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/hendrikhertzberg/2008/03/samanthagate.html

He's always worth reading and this is no exception. I don't know what is happening to me; I sit around work googling people's blogs about this and that campaign thing instead of writing a spring newsletter, which really needs doing.

While I'm sending you links I'll tell you the antithesis to worrying about the fate of the universe and who will be the president is http://www.yogatoday.com/ which I do every day to keep my joints oiled and calm myself down. I so highly recommend it. While I love going to yoga classes, they are so often not going on when it is a time I can go, and online I can do it when I have the time, which I make just about every single day. It is a lifesaver! (Susan Block, if you're reading this, I would come to your basement classes if I lived nearby you!)

I'm adding a random unrelated picture of Ani from soccer season last year. Just so you don't get too too sad about having to wait until the fall to see her in all her athletic glory.
