Wow. Just... Wow. If you didn't stay up to watch it (The Girl and I both stayed glued to the tv), surf over to the DNC website and watch the video. And watch Al Gore's, while you're there. ...

Here I am, sitting at the Sioux City Airport, aka SUX. The Girl will be happy to know that I've secured her a Work SUX t-shirt. We had thunderstorms last night (and the night before) that seemed to go on forever, and I awoke this morning to dark clouds and rain. Fortunately it now appears to be clearing. I don't have much time between flights in Minneapolis, so I'm hoping there won't be any delays on the departure. Once again, Northwest Airlines managed to implement changes during my trip. When I checked my bag in Boston to come here, there ...

Apparently Will must have really pissed off Grace overnight. When I looked at him this morning I realized he had a scratch across his nose and another one just below his eye that had bled a bit, though it didn’t seem to faze him.So I cleaned him up a bit and he was meowing away.Argh…I’d like to know why Blogger thinks this blog has spam on it and forces me to use the letter verification thing to publish an entry? Some of the freaking letter entries are so convoluted, I can’t even figure them out. This started happening like 2 ...

In case you missed it (like me), or in case you want to watch it over and over (like me), the DNC website has the Melissa Etheridge performance in their fabulous video gallery. They got her intro a little off though. Instead of "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Grammy award-winning artist, Melissa Etheridge!" it should have been "Grammy and ACADEMY award-wining artist, Melissa Etheridge!" Especially given that she won her Oscar for the theme song of An Inconvenient Truth, which would have been a nice tie in to our Nobel-winning former vice-president. ...

Hillary last night, Bill tonight - bam! Put the primaries behind us, get out and vote, and vote for Obama. Check out their speeches here and here. You can ready the text here and here. Of course the videos of the speeches don't include the lengthy standing ovations each received - Bill's lasted 3.5 minutes and only ended after several calls for the crowd to sit down and let him get the show moving. And while you're at it, check out Ted Kennedy's speech from Monday.At the 2004 convention in Boston, Rep. Barney Frank was ...

To prove there have been times this summer that I have *not* been a sad sack, witness that I was in Provincetown for a full seven days last week. If, as I now believe, I hadn't eaten that bread with five molds right when I got home, I would have viewed the week as a generally fun one.Unlike many other trips, I actually appear in some photographs. So, I thought I'd share...My week in Provincetown began like this, with some friends, like usual these days...(As an aside, over a year ago, being with anyone in in Provincetown was something ...

We did get out and have dinner with Sharon last night.I was really tired though. Actually, I think we were all really tired. There was a moment when I thought we’d all fall asleep in our salads.So you can imagine what an exciting evening it was.Tonight’s excitement is going to be continuing to split wood and add to the woodpile since the colder weather is just around the corner.I’m heading to the Catskills this weekend. Saturday I’m replacing my father on a hike along a new trail. He writes a column on hiking for one of ...

So here I am in Minneapolis, ready to square my fun (see below) at the 2008 Republican National Convention in short order. Okay, those of you who know me can pick yourselves up on the floor where you fell laughing.I'm really just here between flights, but given that the RNC event is next week, the place is plastered with all these welcoming signs. Because what's more fun than one city full of die-hard Republican stalwarts? Twin Cities full of them!! Yeeha!I guess the bright side of things is that I'm traveling this week, during preparations, rather than over the ...

I don't feel so guilty about not watching any of the Olympics considering how NBC has handled it's covereage of Matthew Mitcham's gold medal in diving.NBC on Mitcham’s stunning Olympic upset: We can’t cover everythingNBC defends not saying Mitcham is gayNBC censored gay Olympic champion Matthew MitchamMatthew Mitcham is Golden at Beijing OlympicsSo I have to suffer through all the various athlete biographies they use as filler only so long as they tell a tale about a straight athlete?At least there's one great story about it...Out-and-out champion celebratesMatthew ...
