I love my wife. She works so hard, and puts up with so much crap, yet still manages to be nicer to me than I deserve. Marrying her was the best thing I ever did.

Midterm elections are now exactly seven months away. George W.'s approval ratings are shockingly low. Tom DeLay has just pulled out of his bid for relection to a 12th term. Jack Abramoff is going to prison, and is threatening to take some major Republican players with him. Democrats seemed poised for important election victories across the country ( Read more... )

A week from today is Amy's and my second year anniversary. It's pretty hard to believe that we've been married for two years. It's hard for me to remember what my life was like before I met her, and even harder to think about what life would be like without her. At the same time, I'm still amazed every day that I'm married to this person who I'm ( Read more... )

I took Amy to the hospital last night at 1:30. This was three days after we had a false alarm and went into the hospital on Friday night and ended up being very disappointed that little Tommy didn't come out. So, Amy was determined to wait as long as possible before going in this time. She started having contractions at around 2:00 in the ( Read more... )

OK, I'm starting to get worried. For the last several weeks things have been slowing down at work. Normally, I try not to sweat the slow times because things always pick up, but I'm literally out of paying work to do and there are no new cases in sight. Maybe I should get a billboard or a TV Guide advertisement. It's times like this that I long ( Read more... )

Many readers of my journal know my wife Amy. (Actually, I strongly suspect that my wife Amy is the only reader of my journal.) I love her dearly. More than life itself. She has made my life better than I ever thought that it could be ( Read more... )

That Zell Miller is such a card. He really knows how to lie. My comments are in bold and italics.

Since I last stood in this spot, a whole new generation of the Miller Family has been born: Four great grandchildren ( Read more... )
