General thought

For weeks I have been planning, talking, and thinking about this whole compact life experiencement and now it has finally begun well it is coming to it's conclusion. It is a bit of a relief that the year has started off rocky at the work and now all I can do is go along for the ride. No more last minute stock piling, no more wondering if I have everything I need, no more guessing what it will be like. It’s coming down to the wire - not talking about work more of a personal matter.

I didn’t end up buying anything like a membership on matchonline a few months back but I tired a different site. Enough of that for now I am goint to instead close the laptop and go out side for dinner. It's a tuesday tradition I actually didn’t buy very much extra stuff to prepare for 2008 summer of change becuase that would sort of defeat the point.

I am still having trouble explaining why or why I am doing this in a clear way. I talked to some of my friends from the old fedex days and also friends Point Park University. I still don’t completely know why we felt so strongly led to do this, and so it is a little awkward to explain. I know that I have the same goals and some expectations for what I want to see happen this summer, but I am sure that God has some interesting things instore for me this year.

The battle for Pennslyvania...

And now, the deluge: Thousands upon thousands of campaign operatives and volunteers coming this way; a constant drumbeat of political advertising on the airwaves and Internet; phone banks and robo-calls on overdrive; sold-out hotels and conference rooms; stressed-out police departments managing crowd control at rallies and concerts; swarming national media, some already plying tired rust-belt stereotypes.

All this and more is headed to Pittsburgh, and Pennsylvania, as neck-and-neck Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama train their sights on the delegate-rich territory in hopes of clinching the Democratic nomination for president.

The barrage -- "Circus doesn't begin to describe it."
