Oct. 23-Nov. 2: Running in Two States & Other Rambling

The last week or so has included a little less travel, but plenty of activity. Work is not as hectic and demanding as August and September, but not a walk in the park either. I did travel to Philadelphia, PA this last week. I was there for the rained out world series game. The rooms were so full throughout the city that the visiting players had to travel to Delaware to find rooms. I got the presidential suite since the hotel was so full where I stayed too. Then, I had to spend the night in Atlanta on the way home because of flight delays. The Atlanta hotel sent out a survey that I completed. They asked if the place I stayed before this stay included rich amenties for the price. Well, yeah, since I had the presidential suite. It is not everyday that I get 5 TV's in my room.


I have been getting a splattering of Obama is a muslim, abortion is evil, life begins at conception, and such emails from my republican friends. They SO sound like hooray for our side and I found another article critical of the other side so I better send it to everyone type of email. Yuk! It seems to me that every time there are fact checks after debates that the are holes in both candidates stories and lines. I am just not very appreciative of one-sided, often lop-sided story lines. I am voting Obama. I like McCain. Obama is a better reflection of my opinions and I think more refreshing. I am sure NOT going to be swayed by stuff that sounds like hate mail.
