My deepest thanks go to all of you who are calling, knocking on doors, and even visiting swing states for GOTV. And now I’d like to beg a little: those of you who are considering visiting a swing state to GOTV, please, please consider visiting Iowa. I live in a rural area (which is really beautiful) near Cedar Rapids, and have offered my home as a staging area for the Obama campaign from Sat., Nov. 3 through Tues. the 6th. I’m also able to offer bed and food for as many as ten volunteers. The problem for me is that, as a team leader for a rural precinct, it’s been very difficult to find local volunteers willing to GOTV for those four days. So far, three people have committed, and we’re going to need a dozen or so. If this is something you’d be willing to consider, please leave a message here, and I'll get back to you with my address and phone number.

Thanks so much ...

A Funeral, A Family, Peace

Two weeks ago, I attended the funeral of my cousin, three years younger than I; she had died of breast cancer. Although I have only seen her a few times since our childhood and teenage years, she and her brothers and sisters still dwell in my heart.

"Ave atque vale" to our Roman ancestors for so many gifts of meaning that we seem to have forgotten. We use terms like 'quid pro quo' and 'et alia,' 'id est,' and more legal terms than I can ever know, without really knowing, perhaps, what we have expressed, but a diary today by Lucius Vorenus made me think of something else . . .
