Kicking, Screaming, Gucci, Little Piggy.
The last few days have been busy. Going back to work after a 10 day vacation is like a sprint after laying on the couch. Actually, that’s what I did before Monday. We had rain pretty much everyday. It put me in hibernation mode early. I have a shitload of wood to split, a pile of papers to grade, a car getting a new engine next week, a full week of work and today is Amanda’s birthday.
Now we have the second debate between Obama and McCain. I want to see it live. I just can’t keep my eyes open that late. Curse this primitive time system! The communists have won again! I am going to do my best avoid the news until I watch a reprise.
One of the beautiful things about living out in the country, and working in the city, is the podcasts. I usually keep it straight, hardcore NPR. This American Life, this week, posted a great podcast about the economic situation the country is going through. I’ll tell you what. If you want to understand the shit-storm, listen to it before it disappears! I won’t spoil the end for you either. I’ll give you a hint though, (in a Homer Simpson whisper) “We’re getting screwed!” Correction, your getting screwed.
