View From the Bushes

As I look over the political landscape, as I talk to men and women on the street, as I surf the internet reading articles and commentary, as I listen to NPR and talk radio, my sense is that this country needs more whining, so that is precisely what I've decided to do today. After three nights of very little sleep, I finally did what I should have done several nights ago: I made my oldest daughter sleep with my wife and the sick child and I stole her bed. While better than the previous nights, it still wasn't as comfortable as the bed I normally sleep in. Today is better than yesterday, but I'm still dealing with sleep deprivation and I've added a sore neck (should have taken my pillow) and something of a sore back.

Another webserver crashed while I was at lunch. I guess I just have to stop going to lunch. I did manage to limp into work with my wounded car, and the mechanic is going to a look at it on Monday, but all in all, today isn't that much better than yesterday. It's a good thing that the weekend is coming up or I might have to hurt someone. As I mentioned yesterday, the family campaign is tonight so I'm basically out of time, however I will leave you with a link and a quote.

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

--Ray Bradbury

A pretty good article on what it's like to be a New Hampshire primary voter.
