Still Alive

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive.  Been a very busy week with a training course, work, reading and family.  Tonight we have a charity fund raiser and then things should settle back into something resembling a routine...

Random thoughts...

How pathetic is Christine Gregoire that she would play up a death threat for sympathy and to bad mouth her critics.  Seriously, some crack pot makes a threat, so everyone who "doesn't like her" or says "bad things about her" is somehow to blame?  So I should just surrender my 1st Amendment rights cause some loser psycho runs their mouth?  Actually, what I'm hearing her say is - the only people who should throttle back their 1st Amendment rights are the people who are speaking out against the tyranny of the Washington State Democrats.  Like AM Talk Radio and those evil Blogs, hmmm.  Paranoia with a little hint of Facism thrown in, sure am glad Chris is in the driver's seat...

Great State of the Union speech.  It must be driving the left nuts that W sounds more like their precious pretend president Jeb Barlett of "West Wing" than any real human in the Democrat Party.  I only hope that the GOP has the courage to see this agenda through.  It would be a shame to squander the majority and not really make a difference on the domestic front.  Obviously, the foreign policy front is a legacy that will live on in history (despite the appeasers/quitters/apologists - i.e. Teddy Kennedy, Bob Byrd, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Baghdad Jim Mcdermott, etc.).

Great weather we've been having, huh?  This is April weather, I'm not ready for yard work.  As nice as this is, it must stop!  I bet we get a foot of snow in April...cursed weather!

I bought the book! The first one. At a used book store in lower Queen Anne. I went for the classic cover, rather than the one with Russell Crowe's mug on the front.

This is one of those times when I wish I could remember how to write out the maniacal laugh...

Resistance is futile...

However, unless you like history, obscure and outdated Naval terms and equipment and Manly men doing manly men things, then Master and Commander may not be your cup of tea so to speak. Me I like that stuff...
