our candidate for congress (niki tsongas) won
totally awsome

but not by a large enough margin that makes me optimistic about next years election
worrisome

niki was elected yesterday, flew down to CD last night, was sworn in this morning
hit the street running

voted to override, dingbat bush's veto to the S-CHIP bill in congress
as she campaigned to do.. what an honest politician?

the reactionaries (AKA republican congressmen) upheld bush's veto
hopefully (generating a major issue for for the election of others.)

the red sox have won the world series

the patriots are 11 - 0
what else is new... ho hum

dear helene,

jake mentioned that he had read robin's letters that are posted in the mannix.org/gallery. i hope you'll read them also, especially the 111674 (9) page letter that robin wrote to our friend paula lloyd two days after his birth.

re-re-re-reading robin's letters, especially the one about jake's first days brought back so many memories. reading your posting to livejournal made me so happy that you and jake are together. both of you seem soooooo much like robin and me that it's uncanny. your attention to detail, sticking to your beliefs no matter what "others" say, reminds me so much of robin that i know you two will be great parents. .....well you've already proved that with liam....

camie and i are so happy that you and liam are part of jake's and our lives, and now with liya's arrival, it's only going to get better.

love,


bob/dad/pop
