Random Bits

Hard to believe it’s been 3 months since my last post. Now that I think about it, my youngest son, Ben, was born nearly 3 months to the day, so that probably explains everything.

This Democratic primary race is just fascinating. I was one of those ready to give the nomination to Hillary back in 2005. Now it looks like she’s really going to have a hard time getting it. Hard to believe someone could dethrone the Clinton’s. In spite of their intense rivalry at the moment, its hilarious to see that there are very few differences between Clinton and Obama on the issues…they’re both far-left liberals who believe the government is the answer to everyone’s problems. Neither is really running on issues, just personal identity dirt being thrown around. In the absence of football season, fantasy football, and PGA Tour majors, this political race is as good as it gets for entertainment these days for me.

If you have a second and are interested in jogging your mind a little, surf over to The Long Now Foundation, where they discuss how to think long-term…very long-term. For example, one of their beliefs is to refer to the current year with 5 digits instead of 4 (02008 instead of 2008) to encourage long-term planning and thinking for humanity. Interesting stuff.

I'll try to post again sometime before June...
