A lot changes in 8 years.

For me –

My dad was alive.
I didn’t have ankylosing diagnosis.
I didn’t know my husband.
I engaged in regularly scheduled Champagne Campaigns abroad.
I lived in an apartment.
I supported John Edwards as a first choice and Biden as a second choice.
The world stopped for Sunday nights when Entourage was on.
On that note – my colleagues got me into Entourage because they would call me my first name (begins with an A) Gold. Because I used to act like him – in Marketing – now I’m in Finance and act like Serena Joy (hat tip to Margaret Atwood).
I was teaching ballet/modern as a choreographer for competition level dancers.


Now my entire life is different. Married in a house - dad is gone – GOTV not once but twice for Obama. I’m the Mayor of the HQ building I’m housed at (much more mellow these days) and I constantly battle lung infections (have pleurisy right now) due to my A.S. I don’t ‘move’ the way I used to.

Why should O’Malley be the exact same as he was all of those years ago.

And after the debate – Clinton is a VERY solid second choice for me. VERY solid. She was already solid – but now I’m VERY solid.
