Yesterday it snowed. Its cold and slushy here at the end of inauguration day, with more snow in the forecast. One might say it is fitting, but then inaugurations are always in January. Four more years of Dubya.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, bro. When do pitchers and catchers report? 
I posted this to a different BLOG on Christmas 2 years ago. Seems as relevant today as ever.
Let's Resolve to...
1) End homelessness in the U.S. This is the richest society ever in recorded history and we have people living on the streets. Unbelievable. This is a solvable problem. Let's do it.
2) Provide basic health insurance for every U.S. citizen. Again, solvable. There...

Always cutting through to the nitty gritty, BV. That's a helluva post.
How was your holiday???

What an excellent manifesto. I will resolve to make it so.
Half-way to Christmas. Hard to believe I havent updated in ages. Lots of stuff has been going on. That, and my new poker addiction. Winning $300 at a local cash game right after Thanksgiving did nothing to help that.
Anyway, items of recent note- took the eldest son to the 1st of 2 Pixies shows here in DC. They rocked bigtime! I never saw them...

Confused about red vs. blue states? This site should clear things up for you-

You should try living in Dick "less" Cheney's home state everyone thinks we are right up there with him, when we are just a big red energy colony. Needless to say Bush did win in Wyoming.
I'm thinking of moving to a blue state just so I can have an intelligent conversation.

Hey, it aint your fault that a bunch of apes are afraid of two cocks in a bed and an imaginary figure in the sky that's waiting for you when you die. These are the same assholes that watch a bunch of colorful cars travel in a circle for three hours. Am I forgetting Piggly Wiggly???
If there is a silver lining in the election results, which in the end were unfortunately not at all surprising, it is this. Bush has made his mess. The next 4 years will be about whether he cleans it up. As Jefferson said, a nation cannot be ignorant and free. Sooner (hopefully) or later, to paraphrase Lincoln, all of the people wont be fooled any...

The b-day came and went. Quiet and uneventful. 44 now. Henry Aarons number. A man of quiet dignity. May we all be so when the times demand it. Thanks to all for the wishes. Happy hauntings!

I was kind of hoping for a Boston vs. Houston World Series, which would have been a nice geographic parallel/metaphor for the upcoming Presidential election, but it wasnt meant to be. Still, heres my prediction: if Boston wins the Series, Kerry will win the election.
Im happy as hell that Boston won and OK with the Cardinals (they were my first home team but were...

Dental work just sucks, there is no getting around it.

Well I have always been a Houston fan but anyways hope Boston wins and Kerry too.
Yes, I play volleyball!
I used to go to the gym 6 days a week, then got lazy, apathetic, whatever you want to call it. So I am back today....at least 4 days a week is probably more reasonable.
I was supposed to go skiing last weekend....but I've only been skiing once with a prior boyfriend, and I didn't do very well at that....so I didn't go. And yes, I am super bummed about the Falcons being at home......
has there been internet for 12 years? i only discovered it in the last one when my bro gave me a secondhand laptop. never had a computer till 2004. i really like your fantasy. sad that it is just that.
