12 hours before Blast off!

Ok here we go just trying to get this blog thing going,
I extremely happy this morning because it's the morning
after the elections and there's seems to have been a fundamental change
overnight. A majority of Americans have voted to shift
the balance of power to the democrats. A Powerful rebuke to the
Bush administration.( By the way, I had a dream last night
that Donald Rumsfeld was short changing me on my pay check.
boy was I outraged!).
I for one am not in love with war, but believe in the
possibility of Peace. I believe our most
important goal as inhabitants of this planet is to learn
and practice tolerance.
Good to be starting a trip to another country with the voice of
the American people so clearly apparent as to their wishes.
