It's been five years

This tribute to Paul and Sheila Wellstone brought tears to my eyes. It was five years ago today that we lost them.

How dreadfully I miss them, and how desperately we still need them.

Five years ago, timprov and I were visiting home (we still lived in California then). We were having coffee at Perkins when they lowered the flag to half-mast, and we talked to the people at the neighboring tables about it. And as upset as we were, we were so relieved to be upset here and not upset by ourselves in California and stuck trying to explain to people why.

It was a year ago that at the old job (History Theatre) we presented Wellstone!. It was a moving play that helped me better understand Paul and Sheila. God how we need them now!

I can't believe it's been five years.

I can't even read the tribute. It feels as if it just happened yesterday.

No wonder Norm Coleman makes me extra sick.
