I sent out a very reverent post-it note to the President inviting him to share in our inaugural celebration, but I don't expect to hear from him, there being a threat to heterosexual marriage going around and all. <BR/><BR/>I do hope you'll come by the website, though, and let us know what you think. Ah, speech, discourse -- aint America grand?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your response; since my bedroom's been pretty lonely lately, democracy and its dialogue seem awfully romantic to me these days.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>SaraSara Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009406545077045857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364030.post-1150004616159005702006-06-11T01:43:00.000-04:002006-06-11T01:43:00.000-04:00sarahj.... great recommendation on the book; great...sarahj.... great recommendation on the book; great quiz; thank you! your blog isamong the few really fun ones out there. interactive -- fun, fun, fun. thanks for the kind words of support about the zine.<BR/><BR/>oh, hey, as great as your quiz was -- maybe sara/sarah should have been a choice -- you've got a great name. *grin*Sara Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009406545077045857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28364030.post-1150004378989250092006-06-11T01:39:00.000-04:002006-06-11T01:39:00.000-04:00My old Block Buddy Glenn!
