Time flies

I wish I could say it has flown by because I have been having fun. After 4 weeks of a worsening cough, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I am now resting and taking lots of drugs. Why is it that I always think of all the things I could do with bed rest but now I am too tired to do any of it? It always works out that way.

Other things going on:

Trip to Davis: I did drive to Davis for a long weekend. We had a nice weekend other than sounding like a TB ward. We spent a nice day in Napa and buying too much wine. Movies, hanging out in her neighbor's pool, and coughing. Elston went along for the ride and enjoyed her second trip to Davis. We also drove down with one of my co-workers. We had a nice drive chatting about everything.

Conventions. I don't really know where to start. I should have just live blogged both of them because I am drawing some blanks. The entire Republican convention left me frustrated. Palin? Hockey mom? Please. If anyone really think she is that involved in the day-to-day lives of her children...you need to be examined. I love that Jon Stewart called her a four eyed wolf hunter. Based on their speeches, you would never know that the economy is in the tank. National security...blah...blah....freedom....blah blah. Change? They are the ones in power. I am horrified and a little scared of the Palin pick. She was far too comfortable getting up there and throwing out her one-liners. McCain was boring. Really boring. Rudy? I can't even describe my anger. Best moment of the convention - Palin's youngest daughter smoothing the baby's hair with her spit.

Democrats - I thought Biden, Obama, Gore, and the Clintons did a great job. Enough said.

I'm just not optimistic about November. I guess I don't have enough faith in my fellow citizens.
