Blog's one-year anniversary today.  Time flies. 

Hope to be posting more frequently.  CNTC is coming up and I hope to be watching/reporting on a lot of that.  Plus, LOTRO is losing its lustre (getting old and the developers have nerfed my character class, so that's spoiled a lot of the fun) and I'd like to get some hands in before Las Vegas.

On politics, I'm dumbfounded that these 3 clowns are the best we could come up with for 'leader of the free world.'  I'm not looking forward to President McCain, President Obama, or President H. Clinton.  None of them are qualified.  In a nutshell, McCain is too old, Obama is too green (if he weren't a black man he wouldn't even get a second look) and Hillary is too divisive (though mostly through no fault of her own.)  You'd think that the American people would have learned that picking a president is important after 8 years of criminal incompetence, corruption, war crimes, torture, church/state integration and mismanagement under GWB.

Even Keith Olbermann has managed to lose me as a viewer.  His blatant pro-Obama anti-Clinton bias is really off-putting. 

It's funny, when I started working out one of my goals was to get back to my early 20's weight (170 lbs.)  I couldn't get below 175 lbs and then when I quit working out for a couple of months and went back to weigh in, presto! 169 lbs 15 oz (yeah, I know, probably lost mostly muscle, but I'm back working out again.)
