Workin'

Things are picking up at work. We will be starting our Defense case in the coming days. I did some work today in an effort to make up for time lost during Rhett’s visit. I’m glad that things are picking up at work. The next few days will be stressful but that will help take my mind off of how much I want a rib eye, a bottle of California Cabernet, an evening with my girlfriend, Wal-Mart, and a clothes dryer.

It’s not that I’ve given up on assimilating to Dutch culture but I have scaled back my efforts. I appreciate Holland but am further convinced that there is no better place on Earth than America.

In furtherance of my efforts to be more American, I am watching the final Presidential debate. I have watched about half of it and think both candidates are saying the right things for their respective campaigns. Unfortunately, I think most people are fed up with the way Senator McCain has lowered this campaign to the Democrat’s level. Both candidates are saying ridiculous things about one another instead of facing the issues directly. Obama is saying some borderline Marxist things but no one is calling him out on it. In fact, when asked whether Obama is a socialist (Marxism light), McCain said, “I don’t know.” He is. Why can’t we talk about this? Instead of dealing with this head on, the McCain campaign keeps talking about William Ayers. We are going to end up with a President who is a Marxist with a free pass from the media and unconstitutionally expanded executive powers, including control of the world’s largest banks.

On a lighter note, I am currently at work and my colleague just opened some kind of web page which immediately began blaring Van Halen’s, “Jump”. I also found out that the project I have been working on is much easier than I am making it. The day is looking good so far.
