She's baaaaaaack....

Did any of you catch the feed on live.yahoo.com? That's the same link you can use every Sunday to tune into the blues jam, btw...every Sunday after 5:30 you can go to http://live.yahoo.com/thespotstudio and at some point, you just might see me do my thing.

Did you see my "little Obama"?? How cool was that? Sorry about the beginning...The video feed locked and all you had was the principal's behind and the boys' audio. Whoops. We corrected it pretty easily. I hope to have a DVD soon and I'll post what I can out on google video for you all to see.

The funnest part - after the debate ended, the candidates shook hands, they came into the audience and shook hands with the principal and then my little Obama "walked the line" - he walked down the bleachers shaking hands with all of the students...it was so sweet to see...the kids were climbing over each other to shake his hand shouting "Obama! over here! Obama!"

I, of course, had my promo gear out and ready - I had signs from the campaign, buttons - and stickers that I handed out to Owen's classmates.

The vote, however, is skewed at the elementary school level. People who like Owen will be voting for Owen and people who like Noah will be voting for Noah. A Republican friend of mine revealed to me that at their dinner table the other night - she asked her son who he would be voting for...he said "I'm voting for Owen - I don't like Noah." "So you're voting for Obama??" she asked in shock. "Yeah, I'm voting for Obama."

Awesome.

Everyone thought Owen did very well - he knew his answers well, he didn't speed talk, he made eye contact....so very proud. One teacher was talking to my parents afterwards and told them that he believes there isn't anything can't do. Fantastic. Love it.

I think Alex has a girlfriend and I don't know what to think about that. And I think he's getting even taller. I think he'll be pushing 6 ft by his junior year. Oy. More money to spend on pants. He's finally taking his mother's advice and listening to more Rush these days - the brilliance of Neal Peart is something I've been trying to tune him into for years...but now one of his friends said it was cool and YYZ was on Guitar Hero, therefore he downloads Moving Pictures immediately. Asshat.

More to come. I swear.

See Owen live on Friday morning!

Mock debate at Owen's school...we're airing it live on the internet because that's the way I roll.

9:30am, CST, on Friday 10/31:

If you have a yahoo account you'll be able to post comments and chat while the debate is going on -but keep it clean, folks - it's an elementary school for pete's sake.

Owen has been in debate prep all week. We've camera tested the tie (think The West Wing) and we've alerted both the Obama campaign and the press.

Good times! Game on! Tune in!
