This month Jim and I will celebrate our sixth year of marriage. One could say that 9/11 brought us together because we had a chance meeting a few weeks after I was “trapped’ in Europe during the attack and could not get a flight home. We look forward to many more years together.
We lost a few celebrities this year, most recently Eartha Kitt, who was a terrific singer, actress and dancer. We also lost my mother three months ago, whose beauty rivaled Jacqueline Kennedy’s but was not born with the pedigree. Her brain is something I’d have liked to inherit. I got the literature but not the math. Our father strives to keep our family together and the first experiment will take place shortly as they’ve been apart over fifteen years.
This evening I watched President-Elect Obama alight from a government jet to transition to his new home in Washington. It was a poignant moment for an incoming President who has a lot on his plate. Four or eight years from now, his hair will undoubtably sport gray, as does mine. I hope as a voter and citizen that his security will be tight to protect him from any harm. The war, economic crisis and condition of many Americans demands action. Let’s hope our elected officials make the right decisions. I know this is a cooking blog, but I am a voter and stakeholder in the future of this nation. Dee
