Yes, as I indicated yesterday, last evening was the opening “day” for the 2008-2009 college football season. Being a college football fanatic, I am thrilled that it is back and had a hard time concentrating on the DNC last night as I flipped between three games on my television. I am sure that between the… Continue reading College Football Openers
I was, until now an hour and half prior to the actual announcement, becoming more and more impressed with the GOP operation. I could not believe that the McCain vice presidential choice had not leaked yet. I was amazed at the efforts the campaign was going to in covering up who the final choice was. … Continue reading Leaks Abound
For those of you who cannot manage to read through my extremely long post on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, here are the sound bites that resounded with me. Tim Kaine – “If we put our faith into action, we can move mountains.” Bill Richardson – “John McCain may pay hundreds for… Continue reading Sound Bites
I could have given this some great title, indicating the historic level of the night at the Democratic National Convention. I didn’t because, in the end when the night finished, all it was in my mind was day four of a not so great convention. In the long run, this is going to be an… Continue reading Convention Day 4

I realize that I live on the East coast. I cannot think… Continue reading Convention Day 3
I tell local fitness blogger Val Tokarz that she finds all the cool, good articles and blogs about them. Well, this time I may have one up on her. Of course, I am putting off my run to get this little blurb – or is it little blog? – out of my system. I opened… Continue reading Losing Weight
There were sound bites – those little bits that we hear and that the news media will play over and over again until we can all vomit – from the Democratic National Convention that need to be put out there. Bob Casey, Jr said that John McCain calls himself a maverick but his voting record… Continue reading Tuesday Quotes
While I do believe that the night has dragged on – yes, it is 11:33 pm and I am still up and seem to be typing without too many errors, tonight was more what I expected of a political convention than last night. The speakers tonight were more animated and more enticing early in the… Continue reading Convention Bliss
On the 88th anniversary of the vote for women, I sat enthralled by the Democratic National Convention tonight. The idea – and who knows if it was Barack Obama’s idea or Nancy Pelosi’s idea – of celebrating this wonderful event in our history at the convention was great. A number of females spoke tonight, throughout the… Continue reading Women’s Suffrage
