the blog is back!

well, after several months of no updates...the blog is back! wow, it's been a while since I updated this!

random thoughts for today...

-bob woodruff and his photographer are quite possibly the two luckiest individuals on earth. you take shrapnel to the head, even with wearing body armor and helmets...and you're improving...that's nothing short of incredible. there's no doubt it's dangerous over there. i've never had any desire to be an international correspondent, and to those who do--you're bigger people than me.

-to the democrats who tried to filibuster alito: what were you thinking?

-39 straight days of unusually warm weather. outstanding. although, two weeks ago, it was 54 degrees one day, 45 the next, and the following day i was scraping snow off my car. i just wish it would make up its mind and stay either unusually warm or horribly cold until spring gets here.

-the race for illinois governor is looking really ugly. really, really ugly. four republican candidates and two democrats in the march 21 primary. governor blagojevich already has $12 million in his campaign fund. folks, it's going to be a long few election months.

that's about all from here. i'll keep this updated more, i promise!
