Like many (but not all) of you, I’ve been attracted to Barack Obama’s message of unity and inclusion. I didn’t vote for Barack because I was afraid of what has now transpired. I went for the devil…
All checked in at Philly airport, but just realized my headphones are at home. Rats!
Headphone issue solved, settling in with a large coffee and a strong internet connection.

OH on the elevator: “Would you read this email and tell me if you think this person doesn’t like me?”
Need to grab a coffee to fuel my mid-morning editing skills.
Going into the office for what should be a busy last day before vacation.

Long day coming up tomorrow so I’m signing off for the evening, Good night, twitter friends.

Oh my, Flyers take a 1-0 lead in Game 3 against the Montreal Canadiens! It’s deep in the 2nd period.
Finished treadmill run watching MSM coverage of Wright’s NPC visit. I hope he holds daily press conferences.

Short work week this week so I’m going to a friend’s house for some Wii tennis. Not a typical Sunday night activity.

Starting to think if Obama hadn’t won Iowa, then Hillary would already have the nomination. She’s strongest in the states that matter in Nov
Slowly making my way out the door for a Sunday morning run.
Yes, Flyers take 3-1 lead! Just about 5 minutes left in 2nd period.
Saying that you’ve already debated enough is rarely an effective answer.
Flyers take 1-0 lead over Montreal.
Wow, blocked by @davewiner. I guess you really can’t disabuse people of their delusions. So much for diversity of thought, eh Dave?
Clinton picking up momentum in the Indiana polls. Game on.
BBQ with the family, then it’s Game 2 of the Flyers/Canadiens series.
Wishing I went to podcamp nyc after seeing all the tweets.

Ordering a new pair of running shoes. Really wish New Balance didn’t discontinue the classic 991’s. Guess it’s the 992’s for me!
