Reenactment, it seems, defines our memorial experience, but isn’t it time to refocus on lessons learned?

Long time, no blog! Was inspired to write after reading Cynthia Lord's request that people post pictures of their hometown. I couldn't help but dig up this image of Battery Park - not the one in New York, but the one in Old New Castle. It's a place featured in several of my novels, and it's also been the backdrop for several seminal moments in my young adult (and maybe even adult adult) life.
Lots of posty goodness coming in the next few days!
Anyone NOT love Super Tuesday? I'm a political junky and will be watching the news tonight with coverage on elections. We (I think you all can figure out which party I'm speaking of) did not have our votes counted this year because of another Florida snafu. Sigh. Anyone voting today or already voted?
In the spirit of embracing today, in a sort of weird way, I'm changing my hair color. Yep. Might go a bit lighter or a bit darker. Not sure. I've been my natural color (see sidebar photo) for 3 years. But before that I was platinum blond (that didn't last six months), red (fun!), orange (due to an unfortunate Sun In incident) and light brown. I'm prepping for my new author photo that I'm having taken with a horse. :)
Anyone else a big chameleon? Or do you stay au natural?
My favorite Super Tuesday site? Rock the Vote.
