No news is good news?
Nothing to report on the job front. Our merger is supposed to be complete in the coming weeks, but I'm not sure if I'll even notice a difference. I'm still hoping to get out to San Diego. Frank is optimistic we'll start a project out there in the coming weeks as well. After the Amsterdam trip got canceled, I'm not keeping my hopes up.
Ella and I toured some downtown lofts this week. It was great to see how downtown Lexington is growing. Some of the places even reminded me of old town Chicago. Of course, Lexington downtown doesn't even have a grocery store, let alone a Red Head Piano Bar, so I don't see myself plunking down $300K to move down there anytime soon.
Got to visit my cousins last week who are back from Jakarta, Indonesia where they spent the past two years. They are quite happy to be home and will be returning to school this fall. They range in age from 7-15 so it was quite an adventure for them spending two years over there. My cousin Evan made me feel pretty old when he asked "what's a station wagon." Nice, kid. I explained that today they're called sport utility cross-overs, a term he recognized immediately.
I'm trying to get my mom to buy an Infiniti. They're a bit pricey, even used, but they're really good cars. The "certified used" ones come with a great warranty, and it's about time she moved out of the Oldsmobile world. Hell, they don't even make Oldsmobiles anymore. Way to go, GM.
I am happy to see that Senator Obama has passed the 2,000,000 donor mark. I am disappointed to see that Senator McCain (who I cheered for in previous elections) has gone back on his word and begun to make character attacks. He's claiming that 1) Obama is the world's biggest celebrity and 2) that's a bad thing. I suppose other famous/celebrity politicians like Reagan and JFK were bad for the country too. Ideally, this will come back to haunt McCain, but things never seem to work that way in politics.
