Wow! It's Been a Long Time and Much Has Happened

Too many months have gone by without a post. I have moved from Louisiana to Texas. I must say I highly recommend Texas, so far. Food shopping is a joy here! Moderation in all, of course, but I am a foodie and I love my H-E-B!

What a great surprise it was for me to discover this group. About two months ago I was sitting at the compute while my friend Bob was watching C-Span. The program was some kind of panel, and it caught my attention after awhile. Mark McKinnon was a panelist and his comments caught my attention. I didn't know anything at all about Mark, but I tossed his name into Google and pulled up the Wiki page on him. (Yes, I know, but we all do go to Wiki first anyway, don't we?) One thing let to another and I found myself on the No Labels page. I was so excited! There was a group for people like me! I had been feeling so detached from the country with the extremists taking control and drowning out sane perspectives, and yet, there was hope. I signed up right away and and a few of my friends, who were feeling as alienated as I had been, joined up too. The official launch of the group was held in NYC (I love that place!) last Monday, and the extremists are going wild!! Righties are labeling us Lefties; Lefties are calling us righties. We are just where we belong!! When both extremes try to shoot you down, you know you're doing something right.
