We jammed again tonite. This is the second time we got together. I do not expect things to come from it. The music again sounded like doo-doo (except the some of the blues numbers I introduced), but it did not matter because again, these are friends I rarily get to hang around.

As I noted elsewhere, I had an appointment with my accountant today. Three items of concern were on my agenda, specifically moving and replacing my furniture, acquiring a more powerful computer, and attending Comic-Con 2009. Happily, he told me that I can do all three. Kind of what I expected, really, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Barack Obama becoming president.

I know that probably sounds pretty lame and uninspiring since everyone else has put something more specific and personal. I'm not one for politics or anything political either but this to me was a truly special event that I am quite pleased to see everyone making a pretty damn big deal about it. I think this is an amazing step for American culture electing Barack to the white house.

I think he seems like a genuine, honest, and extremely passionate man who can really do some good and I have never been so happy and so hopeful for the future of our country as I have right now with Obama as president.

Yes it was a happy day. We may be drinking in the last chance saloon but after today it seems easier to imagine that we really are all in this together and it'll all work out alright. Your man gave a good speech there which Churchill or Kennedy would have been proud of. He actually seems honest and sincere and has a nice family too.

Looking foward to meeting the Presidential Puppy. Does he/ she get a parade too?

I concur with the above post - Godspeed to our new President!

We had a SNOW DAY! No school due to snow, yah! Gotta make it up later, NOT so "yah", though. But, it was pretty while it was coming down, and it gave me all day to set up my new computer and move files from my old one, which was on its last legs. I'll post some pics maybe later, although some of you might be sick of this stuff by now. It's the first measurable snowfall we've had in this part of SC, though, in ten years. We get ice, yeah, but not snow, not enough to actually see on the ground. Unfortunately, most of it's already melted, which is going to prove problematic tomorrow morning when I leave for work at 6 am, when the temps are supposed to be around 19 degrees F., and there's going to be a lot of "black ice" on the roads, especially out here in the country, where they don't bother with salting the highways.

I wish him well, too. I have to be truthful by saying that I'm not nearly as optimistic, though. I am an Independent, and it remains to be see what will happen. No doubt that 2008 was historical, and it's a big step for the country. Now, I want to see what can be done. I'm afraid I can't say much more, then I'd be causing some fireworks. It's not a subject that everyone's comfortable with.

Cass: Whooooo!! That's great news.

I hate to tell you this but my Con plans are still on hold. Money isn't the problem. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.

No problem. At least, you're a step closer...even if it's a small one.
