Debate THIS

Boys, I really enjoyed the debate a lot more than I thought I would. And not just because Bush looked like a blundering idiot the whole time. I was surprised by the amount of actual content discussed. At first I was angry that the audience wouldn't be allowed to make any noise at all, but the result of that strange rule was clear: this was a lot less pep rally and a lot more conversation about the issues.

Also, just being supremely interested in the political process these days, I've been searching for some good moment-by-moment commentary, and I found something that may actually be as funny and interesting as The Daily Show, but in blog format. Enjoy!

Functional Overload

So, day four of working full-time after a two-year hiatus begins, and I'm realizing that I've become a little bit of an introvert. I'm not introverted by nature, but your ability to deal with people is both innate and learned (and must be practiced, of course). I'm out of practice.

Also, I'm working on a couple of big freelance projects that keep me up late, so I'm tired. Usually, I'd just sleep an extra couple of hours during the day. Och, I have no reason to complain. I've had a pretty cushy life for a couple of years here. Now I've got a job that fits me well, working for a company I like, with coworkers who are fun and easy to work with. I guess I'm just downloading the experience for you guys. I recognize that I'm blessed, but that won't keep me from going through withdrawals.

What did you do in the war, daddy?

Interesting graphic illustrating how W spent his Vietnam years....

my favorite t-shirt

ok, since we're all agreed that Senor Bush has got to go (at least I think we agreed on that) I thought you'd appreciate the t-shirt I just bought for Helen. I think it's perfect for an OB/GYN to wear to work, don't you?
