What is with the media?

There is finally an issue in front of the candidates that truly pertains to presidential credentials on foreign policy and the media is blowing it off as not important to either campaign. Is it because media darling Obama was on vacation and they don't want him adversly affected by his non-presence? I want to see a really good discussion from both, with real policy comments, not just "we should all just get along" Sesame Street comments, on the Georgia situation. Instead, we're being hit with speculation and daydreams about who the candidates will pick for the non-role of running mate. Though the process is interesting, it is all just a popularity and political move to clinch an election since the veep essentially does zippo. Where are our priorities?

Back again

So, I haven't taken a class for a year. I'm feeling the urge. It might be time to start on an MBA. If I don't take some kind of class on occasion, I feel stagnant. Must..learn..new..things...ARGHHH. Maybe I should teach instead. I've always wanted to, I just never make the call to get it rolling.

Nut job

Seriously. Some nut job did this hit and run to Dave's car right in front of the house at 1:30 a.m. Friday night. Geez, I wish the cops could find them.

Mmmm, strawberries

One big bowl of rinsed, sliced strawberries
Sprinkle with sugar as desired
A GENEROUS splash of Grand Marnier
Enjoy!

On long working careers...

Today is my 17 year service anniversary at work. During these years, I have worked for at least seven different companies and moved desks three times. It's depressing to work your whole life for someone else and be at their mercy for money and retirement, etc., then end up with nothing at the end of it all. It's like renting a house versus owning one. My life is for rent.

Anyway, for fun, I'm heading out to lunch at Crown Candy Kitchen. St. Louis Tradition! Try the turkey bacon melt and a chocolate malt. MALTS! OMG! Yum.
