Auld Lang Syne

Long, long ago...in an election far, far away...Yet, it seems like yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday...I was looking at some pictures of when my daughter and I went to see Sarah Palin in St. Clairsville, Ohio.

It was a perfect day. Nice and warm...sunshine and blue sky. It was a great Daddy/daughter roadtrip too. It ranked up there with when she and I went to see Neil Diamond in August. :-)

Well, that was the first time that I had seen Sarah Palin in person, and it was a great experience to share with my daughter. I was proud for her to see a woman in a position of authority that had a message of integrity.

As I watched some of the newscasts last night, reviewing the year of 2008, I was surprised to hear numerous references to Sarah Palin. Of course, many of them were done in the spirit of a reference to a worn-out fad. I know that 2012 is a whole administration away, but I hope that Palin Power is more than a passing fad...a trivial reference in the footnote of the political landscape of American history.

I know that I'll keep a light in the window.

Happy New Year!
