Thought I’d throw out a post just to have something on here. Bridget, the kids, and I got back last week from a trip to Illinois to visit my wife’s grandparents. That’s over 2,000 miles in my Dad’s Tahoe, which he so kindly let us borrow. Filling that monster up with gas was expensive, but better than a car rental payment + gas or plane tickets.
We survived and had a great time. Happy to back though, and even happier to get into my swivel chair in my office at work. It’s so quiet in my office, very refreshing after a week with my very vocal children. I love them to bits, but after the 50th time of hearing “What’cha doin?” you long for a moments silence.
My parents just left for a trip of their own, so our babysitters are gone. We’ll make up for it by crashing at their house and eating all their food. I’ll probably even use my old shower at least once while their out. Love that shower, small tomb of a thing that steams up like a sauna. And it has a door, not a shower curtain… oh, it’s the little things that make life good.
Yes folks I’m sorry to say, but Palin is a very bad person. I guess I should qualify… I don’t know or care what a nice person she might be in person, but as far as her ability to govern goes she’s as bad as they come. Let me also add that being pretty isn’t a good qualifier on who should lead. Being secretive, ignorant of the issues, and given to cronyism and vendettas doesn’t strike me as someone I’d want anyone to vote for.
So please, take the time to read this New York Times article before you vote for this person.

Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes

Gov. Sarah Palin’s visceral style and tendency to attack critics contrast with her public image, her record shows.
Got another gift from the Guild Wars folks last night. If you own all the campaigns, you now can get a special Hero. M.O.X. is a giant dervish robot pal. Haven’t played with him much yet, but I stuck him in the Hall of Monuments already.
I love it when they add something new to spice things up. Guess I need to unlock some more Dervish skills. Still plenty to do in Guild Wars!
Ran across this speech by Obama in the wake of Hurricane Gustav. Really good speech. Enjoy!
From digg:
Obama spent today giving curtailed speeches in respect to Hurricane Gustav. But tonight, in front of a Milwaukee audience of 14,000, invoking both the Bible and Thoreau, he was as good as I’ve ever heard him.
This is one of the most awesome-est awesome ever. I kid you not. Behold the glory that is Felicia Day and JoCo singing Still Alive (the song sung by GLaDOS during the credits of the game Portal).
