Politics - Just My Opinion

So last night I watched McCain announce his running mate for Vice President. A woman governor of Alaska. At first, I thought it was brilliant, what a fantastic way to knock the Democrats down from their fantastic week of festivities at the DNC. Then the news stories about her started...

She's been a govenor for 2 years, that's it. No foreign policy, nothing on a national level. Before she was govenor, she was the mayor of a town in Alaska for a few years. That town was under 7000 people. There were more than that in my graduating class from college. My dad was the president of the schoolboard in the town where I grew up and was responsible for more people than lived in her town. This woman could possibly be one breath away from being the leader of the free world. That's almost as scary as another 4 years of GWB.

What kind of experience does she have? Defending Alaska from Nanook of the North, Yukon Cornelious and the Bumble from Rudolf? When I first heard the news, I was a little nervous, now, I'm not so concerned.

That's only my opinion.

Miscellaneous

I started running so I posted a map of my lunch time run here.

I saw a new eye doctor and I'm not a good candidate for Lasik because my vision is too good. If he corrects my distance vision, I'll end up needing reading glasses to sit at he computer and read which is what I spend most of my time doing. So we are trying contacts which seem to be working out.

Lil J is potty trained, wearing glasses again and needs to have another eye surgery in December to correct his Strabismus.

Work stinks but what else is new.

Big J and I are heading to NJ for S & S's wedding this weekend and we'll see our Disney Friends and the new twins.

Summer was fun, lots of time on the boat and at some water parks.

Humira is working and my Crohns finally seems to be in control...only took 8 years...
