I too, have been a life long democrat and was a Bernie supporter. We're in agreement about these candidates we have to choose from - I don't particularly like (or respect) either one...but having said that, we will have to decide on "the lesser of two evils", so they say. Thank you for the video, I will watch in hopes of becoming better informed. I am trying to keep an open mind, but am leaning in a particular direction at this point. I just hope our country does not end up being even more divisive than we already are. I do hope you have a wonderful time away. And absolutely, it is a good thing to shake up your routine a bit! Keeps life interesting!

I am envious of the kayaking. That is my favorite way to travel over water. Getting in the kayak is OK, getting out will probably take help the first time. It is easier than canoeing and if you see wildlife, you can sneak right up on them in a kayak. You will love it. <br />I am ready to vote now. I have no doubts who my candidate is and this time--like last time, I am NOT voting for the lesser of two evils which is often the case. I'm with her. <br />Have a wonderful trip and take lots of pictures.

I'm pretty sure we are all on the same team, but with such a great bunch of smart women, none of whom are afraid to say what they think or believe, I will really be missing a memorable take on the debate. Actually, the TV pundits should film you ladies discussing the debate. <br /><br />I'm glad you get the suite. That is truly sweet. I actually have never slept in the suite, but I did get the big room upstairs once. That was a great room. Can you tell I am really sad that I won't be there?<br /><br />Have a great week.

Chance is pleased that I am back!! <br />We don't vote a certain party just because they are D or R. We vote for the person who we think will do the best. With the Electoral College popular vote doesn't count anyway...I think our system is so messed up...politically and socially on so many levels. Just my opinion that we have not seen so much Civil unrest since the late 1960's and Vietnam. <br />Far Guy and I looked back to see how we did on electing presidents...we voted Democratic until the Clinton Era and since then Independent with Ross Perot and picking them as we see them...I agree the candidates this year are not so hot...who will do the least harm? Who can work with the lazy buggers in Congress who should have term limits?

It is such a neat get together and what could be better than to do it in a place that's so far away, and yet so near by! A ferry ride sure makes a world of difference, doesn't it? May I suggest a topic for discussion? I would love to hear what the Vashonistas think about the impact of the internet on today's society and how people are adapting their lives to email, social media, and even blogging. No worries if that doesn't fit; I know you are focusing on writing. Have a great time and enjoy the suite! :-) Oh yes, one more thing ... Thanks for the Frontline suggestion. I have not seen the new one for this election and will definitely watch!

It may be age, but sometimes I just don't feel like making the extra effort to do something... but then after I do, find that I really enjoyed it. So I say, if you're in doubt, *go for it!*! But it's also nice (with retirement) to know that you really can *choose* what you want to do... like spend an extra 15 mins in bed or just spend the time by the fire reading... <br />And I will check out that Frontline and will watch the second debate. I'm not sure that the debates do more than confirm what individuals already feel, but perhaps they will help us to understand the other candidate better.<br />Enjoy "Sully"! I heard it was good also.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.com
