Well, very good night for the Democrats. Plus 32 in the house was a huge victory, but minus 3 in the Senate tarnishes it. Blue wave? Nah. Blue wavish perhaps, but no wave. It's more troubling that very left-wing candidates are gaining traction. History repeats itself. We

More Miscellaneous Rambling If you haven't heard, it's election day. Get out and vote. The more people that vote, the more people that vote. Somehow, that's supposed to be a good thing, though for the life of me, I can't figure out

Miscellaneous Rambling Whew. Food poisoning Sunday night. It was rough . . . really rough. I started to recover late Monday morning, but I was groggy the rest of the day. At least it gave me a chance to clean my study/office/library/gardening-supply-center/recording studio. I'm lobbying

Miscellaneous Rambling Quite an eventful couple of days. I just found out that I'm being sent to Las Vegas next month on business, which is cool. I'm staying at the Wynn, which would typically lie beyond my cost range but due to logistics, that's
