I Voted

And . . . the polls are closed. Hope y'all voted today. As usual I took Yaya with me after school, but all that meant was that I had to give her my "I Voted" sticker. Sooooo not fair.

Class. Personified.

What's the point of having your ear pierced if you can't wear three safety pins 'round the house once in awhile?

My Picks

Ok - primary election day is less than 24 hrs away. My picks? Gov: SCOTT WALKER Lt. Gov: KLEEFISCH Senate: RON JOHNSON Congress (4th): DAN SEBRING. And, if I was in State Assembly District 20, MOLLY MCGARTLAND. In my own assembly district 19, I vote for KRISTA BURNS, not because of her party, but because a district that encompasses Bay View should have a rep w/ an address in, gosh, I don't know, Bay View.

My condolences, Dan. I'm on vacation and no one told me you hit your head so hard. - Sandra G

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

I just finished "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay, the 1st in the series that inspired the show "Dexter". It's great fun, give or take a torturous death or two. What really makes it tick is the playful voice of Dexter himself as he narrates the action. I'm going to read more in the series.

My Thoughts

It is my deeply held belief that anyone who insists on backing into a parking spot @ a public venue is a pompous ahole w/ far too high an opinion of their own worth.

Body Work by Sara Paretsky

I finished 'Body Work' by Sara Paretsky. The writing was good, but it seems to rely on character over plot, which is a problem when much of the oomph lies in the the fact the PI is a woman.That may have been a nice gimmick in the '80's, but not today. As to that plot - conspiracy, conspiracy, blah blah. 'Cuz, you know, no one is murdered by anything less than a secret corporate plot. I grade it a C.

The Founders Suite at Miller Park

I'm @ the Brewers/Cubs game @ Miller Park. Courtesy of my buddy Tre, I'm seated in the Founders Suite (#2) right behind the Brewers dugout. 

Best t-shirt so far: I'll root for the Cubs the day they play Al Qaeda

A moving rendition of God Bless America here @ the ballpark, w/ the flag @ half mast for 9/11. @ least for a moment, common ground w/ the Cubs fans here.

School Days

Lisa took the kids to the carnival at Junie's school!

She doesn't look happy here, but she was!

Here are some pics outside the older kids school!
