The NBA season started tonight, so now I have to try to watch the Lakers and all the political shows. Arrgh! Fortunately most of the political stuff will be over soon. Still will be a bit of a balancing act even after the election is over. Glad I’m not hooked on a ton of network […]

…against putting political signs in your yard when you’re not even a citizen of the United States! My crazy Colombian next door neighbor has a big sign in the middle of his front yard urging a yes vote on Proposition 8 (the gay marriage ban). I just want to puke every time I go out […]

I got up this morning and did my usual–got a cup of coffee and headed to the computer to check all the political blogs and polls. Except that my computer would not connect to the internet. OMG, how could I make it through the day without the internet? Turned out our whole area was experiencing […]

Hurried home from work tonight to watch the debate and Keith Olberman’s prologue. Obama did well and McCain…well his reference to “that one” really said it all. Even the republicans are appalled. All the media polls are saying that Obama won and comments from lots of independents are pro Obama. Based on the polls (check […]

The jury in Las Vegas just found OJ Simpson guilty on all charges. Finally it seems he’s going to get his due. Sentencing will take place on December 5th with a possible sentence of 15 years to life. Sounds like no more golfing for OJ.

I don’t know where September went. I think part of the reason it seemed to go by so quickly has to do with my being out of town for 1/3 of the month. And then it took another third before I finally got back on California time and back on track at work. And then […]
