Ready for the convention

This may tell you a little bit about my priorities. We had free tickets to go to the Mets game tonight. I didn't remember that Michelle Obama would be speaking when I said, "Sure I'll go to the game." Of course, I would be going for the people watching aspect of the game. (I don't care what my husband says. Baseball is boring.) But luckily my daughter came to the rescue and found a friend of hers who would appreciate the ticket much more than I would. So I get to stay home and watch the convention without familial interruption.

I chatted with my friend, Madame Defarge, online today and it turns out that she made it to Springfield on Saturday and sent me some pictures of the event to post.

She said it was a great day though it was hot. She lamented all the tall people around her when she was trying to take pictures.
