I do love the way you make something so simple the focus of your photo. I suppose that goes along with being in the present moment.<br><br>As for the debates, I think we saw the beginnings of a temper tantrum last night. He managed to get himself under control enough to paste a forced smile across his face and shake hands at the end. But all in all, McCain remains unconvincing, and I am happy to say that more and more voters are saying the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-27919780668929980092008-10-16T13:38:00.000+01:002008-10-16T13:38:00.000+01:00Life always finds a way through the cracks.

Glad to see my beloved Obama smiling. He is handsome and accessible when he smiles, though he was telegraphing his opinion that McCain is pathetic with every grin.<br><br>I like Keith Olbermann's characterization of McCain as the grumpy next door neighbor of Dennis the Menace, wearing a bathrobe and slippers.
