1. Thank you.

Smart lady.

2. The only thing I know about her

She sang the theme song to "The Nanny" (I know the words by heart and sing along everytime I watch a rerun). She has a phenomenal voice and singing talent. Apparently she has brains too. I like her even more.

And oh yeah. I see she likes Fontina too. Another big plus for her in my book!

3. Here's what she said about John Kerry, prior to the election:

I usually try to keep politics out of my public life but I have decided that this is no time to be quiet. And so, on this precipice of human history, I take this opportunity to make my personal endorsement for John Kerry as the next president of the United States. He is an intelligent, caring leader who possesses the vision, principles and gifts to restore America’s integrity and strength as a nation. While some may perceive him to be “wishy-washy”, I believe him to be a thoughtful statesman whose understanding of the complexity of issues will guide him to make more mature, nuanced decisions in contrast with the current administration’s dangerously bombastic style of dealing with the growing problems of our tenuous times. I believe John Kerry understands the imperative of mending the deep rifts that have developed within our great nation and within our crucial relationships with nations around the world. When have we needed unity more than now?

But no leader can create unity alone. And so, I close by inviting you to join me in making a deeper commitment as a citizen. Let us contribute in many ways- by listening, reading, contemplating, offering service, speaking out, voting, donating time and money to worthy causes and being environmentally conscientious. And let us show even greater respect and kindness wherever we go, that we might each be, in quiet and unassuming ways, ambassadors for peace. We all take part in creating the world we live in. Why not work together to create a masterpiece?
