Social Responsibility clause & why I forgive Mike...
This week, Jem & the Holograms is matched-up with Angry Monkeys in the office league. Angry Monkeys has a player on their team that I had looked at pre-draft but he was eliminated due to my social responsibility clause.
I will not draft no-goods to my fantasy football list. I will not draft criminals who have not seemed to “get the message” from the justice system. Example:...

Waking up the tumblr site
I am a chatty person. I have a lot to say and there isn’t always someone around to hear it. After much encouraging from the people who get to hear from me more than they would like - I figured this would be an easy place to get some of that information out. I’m a natural observer. I do like to sit back and watch, try and see if I can “figure out” what is going on and what...

Nebraska's Election results - Omaha.com →
I am still reeling over the overall statewide results. There are a few races that just surprised me. Ones that were closer than I thought they were going to be or really ended upside down. Let there be hope.

“What a Relief” 11-4-08
Today will be the last day for the 2008 Political campaign, and we can all resume some sort of normalcy in our lives, and particularly in our conversations-that is the ones with whom we disagree. It would be very interesting to catalogue all of the misstatements of facts, or as commonly called-lies, that have been issued by the campaigns, and also the political promises...

Going on the run
Time to leave the office, run home and change my clothes, grab the trusty lap top and head downtown for the best non-partisan political bash in town. Free wifi and free refills on my diet Coke all night.
