the anti-kathy

ok, so....book club this evening was certainly energized by the palin nomination....with most of my dear friends voicing their abhor to the notion of her as commander-in-chief......except for the fellow who sat down next to me after the book discussion had wound down, and asked me confidentially if i was as excited about her nomination as he was......and it was all i could do to react to him calmly and with my horror subdued.....this is a person i have known for 25+ years.....and for this person to be surprised when i said softly that ms palin is the anti-kathy...that she stands against everything i hold dear..how could someone who has known me for so long not know that.....?....there was some new blood at this first book club of the year- a new couple and a semi-recently widowed woman....both added a lot to the milieu....the book was beach music by pat conroy....not to be on my top 10 list by any means.....the next book is rumored to be much shorter and less contrived.....
