Day 85

Good to see the sun out today in Chicago. I love the unseasonably warm weather. I got an interesting call from my cousin Steve last night. He let me know he was going to be bringing his woman in to Chicago with him Super Bowl weekend. Then he put her on the phone. She told me that she was on her way to introduce Steve to her Mother. I said "are you sure that is such a good idea? I wouldn't introduce him to my Mother, and that is his aunt." anyways she sounded very sweet and I am very much looking forwarded to hanging with her. That will be a great weekend with MD coming to town too.

Here is a question for you. How many people are watching the Samuel Alito confirmation hearings? I haven't been following it very closely, but I did read that at one point, the badgering got so bad that his wife started crying. I don't know anyone who is watching this, but from what I read he is coming off as very intelligent and sure of himself. We shall see if he gets confirmed or not. How many more years until the Bush administration is over?

As much as I dislike Oprah Winfrey, Star Jones has to be the single worst person on TV. How did she become famous in the first place? The View is completely unwatchable because she is an insufferable human being. She acts like she is god's gift to the world. When she got married a few years ago, the press she got was sickening. I did love how it was reported by everyone that she was the alltime bridezilla. Her wedding was the biggest over the top joke. The best part about it is that everyone thinks her husband Al Reynolds is gay. There was an article about her and all of the weight she lost in People Magazine that I read over my vacation. After I was done, I said to myself "I wish I had the last 4 minutes of my life back." I give her credit for losing all of that weight, but she is more disturbing looking than she ever was before. She looks like an alien and according to her husband "she is going to break out the two piece this summer." I may kill myself if that actually occurs.

Big Win by my Jayhawks last night on the road at Colorado. That makes 7 straight wins and Kansas State comes calling Saturday. They haven't beaten us since 1994.

Leah and I leave for San Francisco two weeks from today. I cannot wait for the trip.

I did get a piece of good news yesterday. I got another minor promotion at work and more importantly a raise. Its another great opportunity for me. Now the comes the time when sooner or later I have to talk about moving to my bosses. I have planted seeds in the past and it is looking like it is do-able, since my business is pretty much all in the midwest. I am just waiting for the right time to broach the subject. Don't know when that is going to be though.
