The frequency between jaunts out into our Capitol city has been slowly trending upward—as today marks my third jog in 8 days. While a terrible record for most, for me it is reassuring. It was the longest yet!

I set up Skype for an interview Ken Burns is doing right now for kids. Adorable. http://twitpic.com/n1adp

“ When you’re a child you’re the center of everything. Everything happens for you. Other people? They’re only ghosts furnished for you to talk to. But when you grow up you take your place and you’re your own size and shape. Things go out of you to others and come in from other people. It’s worse, but it’s much better too.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced a bill in the Senate on Thursday that would effectively allow Internet service providers to slow down or block Internet content or applications of their choosing.

Another great move by the tech-savvy John McCain.

I had another lousy day at work and then my day took a total U-turn because I remembered Frontline is on tonight.  But on the other hand, does this make me a huge nerd?

Just a thought

fleurinc:

Ok so last night post wine I thought of an amazing tv show to pitch to the Food Network…it would have Paula Deen & Sandra “Semi-Homemade” Lee as hosts and would be called ‘Drinkin’ and Bakin’ and would run around the holidays only. Sandra could make stiff drinks (her specialty), Paula could concoct new recipes to kill us all and both ladies could dish out advice on how to ‘cope’ with family/holiday stress. I mean they’d probably just talk about how to hide liquor in coffee cups and new ways to cook bacon but who couldn’t learn something from their combined life experiences?

Best idea/post in the history of mankind
