WARP

Probably not the best time for Amanda Knox to take a European vacation. We were wondering if the U.S. was on the list for extraditing to Italy.  Someone mentioned that perhaps her lawyers should create a list of all the countries that she could NOT be extradited, a extraditing list.So I thought maybe this would be a good thing to have for ALL countries.  You know, a list for each country and what countries you would have to go to so you...

Kyle Lohse? Really? sigh. Another Cardinal castoff

I think the Brewers are becoming like the Minnesota Vikings. Let's just grab other team castoffs and hope they do well.I'm not very excited about Kyle Lohse at all.  I see another Greg Suppan in the works. MAYBE he will win one more game for the Brewers as he is about 1 game better then the average replacement player. Yea - he will chew up innings but that is about it. The guy gives up way to many flyballs and St.Louis is where flyballs go to die.  Milwaukee is where flyballs go out of the park and is one of the best homerun parks in...

Now I need to buy another CD. -----------------------------------------------So since I'm at work all week (when things break they all seam to break at once) which is real bad timing as I...

Thousands of spectators from literally around the world ringing Columbus saying what...

An entirely different kind of exhaustion

I was finally able to go back to working out. If you remember, after three grueling Monkey Bar gym events I got a little carried away with push-ups and strained some tendons in my left arm.  I let them heal for a week and was about to go back, I was missing that adrenalin rush I was getting from extreme exercise.BUT - my campaign got in the way and 2 weeks went by. Yesterday I thought instead of doing the Muscle Training I would try their Boot...

Sharks are people too.

I was watching Hawaii Five-0 last night and Ed Asner reprized his role as August March, a bad guy jewel thief from the 1975 Hawaii Five-0.  The show ended with him shooting a woman.  Anyway, I looked to see if he actually was on the how many years ago and WOW looking at his IMDP list of appearances it was like traveling back in time.Speaking to time travel.  I was preparing my first group of mass mailings for THE CAMPAIGN and ...

Road Trip Across Europe?

Gotta laugh at the media - WE ARE EXPECTING OVER A HALF A FOOT OF SNOW! Wow - half a foot. -----------------------------We should be getting a good amount of rain this weekend, nearing one inch.  I hope this does not cause ponding problems for farmers.  Did you know that fog is actually a better snow melter then rain?  Fog creates it's own heat and melts snow faster then rain.  I've always been underwhelmed at how much...

OMG

Well now - THAT was the hardest job interview I have ever had.I have not blogged for a few days as I was prepping for the big forum for City Council.  All candidates received 16 questions of which each pair of candidates would be asked 4.  Of course the current City Council has a HUGE advantage because they've been working on the issues for years (and years and years in some cases). So us newbies had to fend for ourselves and investigate,...
