So I actually mentioned Arlen Fucking Specter in my recent post. Though if I said toldja so, I'd be full of shit, so I wont. Honestly, I didnt see it coming. Certainly not this week. 13 Senators have switched parties since 1913, Arlen Specter is the first Republican to become an outright Democrat. Wow. Specter's been on the cusp for a long time now ( Read more... )

Was home for a bit, and it was wonderful. Warm and green and lovely. Things at home could be better, mom has a pinched nerve in her hip which sends lightning down her leg constantly. For the last three months or so. Shes surviving on a steady diet of pain pills which make her fuzzy and sort of freak me out. Shes had back surgery and 4 epidurals ( Read more... )

This just in: I dont think Jimmy Fallon sucks. So far, he's been funny. Actually darn funny. Late Night will survive. Big shoes (Dude, Conan is huge), but his band is The Roots! It MUST be good ( Read more... )

Today, it is morning in America. A new morning in America. Brighter and warmer and somehow sweeter than any morning I can recal in the last eight years. Yes we did, indeed ( Read more... )

Party in Appleton was great! Had a fine time and got pretty wasted. We slept in the van with Hunter. We woke up and decided to take the state highway instead of the interstate to enjoy a nice long drive home. The scenic route. Small adventures! We saw a GIANT buck, stopped at a cheese factory, and just enjoyed the rolling farmland. To be honest, I ( Read more... )

The Giving Tree is absolutely disturbing 15 years later. I try to make a point of rereading books because I've found that, if you give a book a few years, it changes.
