I like you so much for bringing up subjects like these and seeing 57 comments! I haven't had to log in before, for some reason my password just went away... but now it's back. Aw, thanks, Sue.

I've never had to log in. There must be something I clicked on early on that kept me logged in, which is good, because I'll be the first person to forget a password. And your story about having to introduce yourself because the guy failed to notice you were just on a panel with him? That's exactly why I like you so much. Hi Betsy! I’ve never had to log in.

I grew up in Virginia (not the REAL Virginia, as Sarah Palin would say), so I was following everything closely. I like your idea of looking at the photographs and of thinking that the real excitement is actually what's ahead! I thought that’s the one you were describing.

We all had examples, and after the panel was over, I essentially embarrassed myself by not recognizing the director of the festival. I took small comfort in the fact that I wasn't the only one who may have felt foolish that night - I asked one of the other authors from the panel to sign a book for me, and he asked me my name, and I quietly said "Elizabeth" and it wasn't until he handed back the book that he realized we'd just been on the panel together. We laughed.

I really wish I could have made it to the big Chicago rally last night as well, but that would have been very difficult especially considering how tired we were after standing for so many hours on Monday night. On the national news, we heard that there were 90,000 people in the Manassas audience! I know what you mean about the weird sort of post-partum depression thing. I experienced that for a little bit before I looked over the fantastic photographs we took at the rally. I suddenly realized that maybe it felt for a moment like the excitement had suddenly ended, like when a party or wedding is suddenly over after all the months of planning...but today I suddenly realized that many more wonderful things are about to happen, and this is just the beginning. The experience in the crowd was incredible. It was truly wall-to-wall people, with no room to move, for hours and hours, listening to music over the loudspeakers. Someone even had a baby carriage next to us and little kids asleep on the ground. But there was no pushing or shoving or yelling, just an amazing sense of peacefulness, awe, and waiting. It is something I will never forget. Yes, we attended the rally in Manassas on Monday night.

That is the best story. I'm just so glad it happened to you and not to me! Oh no! That is the best story. I’m just so glad it happened to you and not to me!

I am laughing so hard at how well you know me. First of all, exactly right about Ward. My favorite player will never be on offense, even though, of the three of them, I am pretty sure we'd get along best. My answer was Harrison. But! YOUR answer about Polamalu changed my mind! HA!
