In only 2 weeks, my little tagline “the blue county in the red state” will be no more. What clever moniker will I apply to San Jose, California? Any ideas? Send ’em in. I might even come up with a fabulous prize!

Ok so it’s a little long, but here’s the first thing that popped into my head.
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, Sun-Shiny day
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been pray’in for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright Sun-Shiny day
Look all around, there’s noth’in but blue skies
Look straight ahead, noth’in but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, Sun-Shiny day

I’m so bad at this.
I don’t have a moniker yet, but I do have a song:
“Do you know the gays in San Jose?”
Oh, man. I’m worse at this than mac.
I’ll keep trying.
Love

‘From beautiful San Jose, The Land of Fruits and Nuts.’
San Jose, the land that gains you fabulous prizes.
Hahahaha!!! I love all of these, especially Kat’s “Do You Know The Gays” — but the best fit for the little “From Beautiful San Jose” tagline is Kirk’s. (Is it nepotism to pick my cousin’s contribution? Perhaps as penance, I’ll post the photo of me, my brother, Kirk, and my other cousin Eric from 1979, posed in San Jose outside my grandparent’s house. Laughs a plenty!)
