Happy Anniversary to Us
In an anniversary celebration that just won’t quit, Jeremy and I attended The Swell Season and Iron and Wine last night at the Palladium Ballroom, where I saw Barack Obama and John Edwards speak in 2007.
Iron and Wine was the opening act. I am such a fan of the the songs “Trapeze Swinger” and Sam’s recording of “Such Great Heights”, a Postal Service song. Sam...
“I swear to God, you’re the best singers we’ve had on the trip so...”

Don't Cancel the Debate
What is Sen. John McCain thinking?
How is canceling the first Presidential debate going to help the economy? It won’t.
McCain is afraid to debate.

Rarely am I told by anyone that they have dreamt about me.
Our friend had a dream about us last night and then e-mailed Jeremy about it. The dream was too odd and too good to keep to ourselves!

I had a dream with you and Kathleen in it last night. I thought I’d capture it in an e-mail to you since I rarely remember bits of my dreams....

At the time of this post, 52% say she is qualified to be our VP.

Loving politics
The general election is just around the corner and I am loving politics.
Last night I brought my girlfriend, up from Houston because her apartment still has no power, along with me to the Tarrant County Obama for America meetup. I saw good people I had not seen since the convention. It was a quick meeting, so we walked from The Pour House to 8.0s for another beer and watched the cowboys and their...
He loves me!
This afternoon while I was working I asked Owen to get me a glass of water.
He loves to do this because he gets to take a chair from the table, slide it over to the counter, climb up half-way on the counter, open the cupboard, take down a glass, slide the chair over to the sink, turn on the water, fill up the glass, carefully get down and carefully walk the glass over to me.
But today instead of...
Family Update
Know who wins bad daughter of the month? Me!
I forgot to pick my mother up at the airport tonight after her hiking trip around Mont Blanc. She left this morning from Geneva, flew to London, then to D/FW, then got to wait on me for more than an hour. I feel terrible.
I haven’t heard from the Houston-area family today, but did from my aunt and uncle and brother late last night. Chuck and...
Sarah Palin: the most underqualified... →
“I cannot say anything about this candidacy that takes it in any way seriously. It is a farce. It is absurd. It is an insult to all intelligent people. It is a sign of a candidate who has lost his mind…”

“It turns out there was something more nauseating than the nomination of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate this past week. It was the tone of the acclaim that followed her acceptance speech…”
