2006 ALDS

Tuesday and Wednesday October 3rd and 4th were wonderful work days. This was the office!

I was the only A's fan around as far as I could see.

Studying for the GRE in a political environment

Her staffer skulks in search of unreleased ads, while she herself, in her petulant and truculent manner, spews cants that the ordinary Minnesotan is not apposite to comprehend.

Pawlenty Signs of Fall

Because the Pawlenty Campaign decided not to buy yard signs the party decided to go ahead and get a large quantity of them. This weekend was the date of distribution around the state.

I went up to Duluth with a stop in Mora, over to Grand Rapids, and then back to the Twin Cities via Brainerd. It was glorious.

It's been five years since I've seen these.

And I've never seen them on Mille Lacs Lake.

GOTV

72 Hours.

43 pages, 52 pages. Phone calls, and more phone calls. A little help, more annoyance, some infuriated.

A culmination of what we're doing (part 1).

Part 2 is in 2 months time.

The Doctor is In.

My Job. 13 hours a day, 12 days a week. All for a deep-fried candy bar on a stick.

Paradise

Southern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Northern California, Hawaii.

“What is happiness and unhappiness? It depends so little on the circumstances; it depends really on that which happens inside a person. I am grateful everyday that I have you, and that makes me happy.”

-Bonhoeffer

I have found a paradise, a place where worries cease to annoy, because of those around me. It has existed in so many different places and every time I discover it, it uplifts, carrying me to new heights and feelings that I had forgotten or had dimmed because of time, losing their sharpness and clarity. Paradise is an object that should be constantly sought, the object that influences every decision.

Like I said.... Crazy

EFY Makes You Crazy!

Oh, it's a lot of fun too.

GustAvus

St. Peter for a week. M flew in yesterday, spent the night in our shoddy apartment and then we're down at Gustavus Adolphus for the week working EFY.
There was a lot of jokes thrown around about how to pronounce the name of college. The consensus is that it should rhyme with all of us. So it's GUS-tuh-vuhs for all of us.

I-15 Encounters

Utah is green in the spring as you drive along I-15. And sometimes you run into friends from summers before.

"It's weird when people from my Boston world come visit me here." -TB

Minnesota

I'm in Minnesota.

The drive was great.

Ok, so that's not Minnesota, nor the drive. That's the Cinco de Mayo fireworks at Dodger stadium. That was great!! I mean, when else would you ever get to go on to the field?


Minnesota. I'm working at the Minnesota Republican Party in St. Paul. Doing independant research on the Senate Campaign here. It's going to be some good work. Just found a place to live in Little Canada.

20 Hr. In the Car: 4 Hours of Conference

Really I'm a good driver, I watch the road. I get people home safely.
And we have a good time.

Exciting Spring Break!

Can you tell how excited we are! K and I had such a good time in LLuta with S and my sister! Twas a wonderful way to spend a couple of days

 

Cough

Every couple of minutes or so a cough floats down the hall. We're all infected here in Smiley. If you're healthy stay away from S. Cal right now, there's an pandemic.

The Valentine's Day Raid (or how my car got decorated twice)

Led by the Fearless Elder's Quorum President, and his most excellent counselor, a valentine's day invasion of the home of newly married couple J and D who arrive home today.

Due to the incriminating evidence of these photos, they may be censored in a short time.

Blue ears make people laugh.
