Post-election thoughts...

If you were around me during the last month or so, no doubt you heard me say something like "Ya know what? Its not so much Obama...its the people voting for him that bug the hell out of me!" No news segment has spoke more truth to me during this election than this one...right...here.

Thanks to Blair for showing me this clip. A good friend who really needs something to do now. Lend him your goodness, will you? : )

50 Things I Love About My Cass

November the 4th was an important day. This year, (as some of you may know) it was an historical Presidential election cuz some dude named "Bardock O'Brien" became President. (Check out some campaign footage here.) Time will tell if he is the right man for the job, but for now may our prayers be with the new Chief.

Also, it was my Grandma Kirkham's Birthday. Happy Birthday, Granny!

But mostly, it was my 2nd wedding anniversary! That's right, me and the Cass-er-ole have survived two years! On her blog, she dedicated Coldplay's song "Lovers in Japan" to me, which is spectacular cuz I was planning to do the same thing! We met in Japan long ago, as some of you may know. So, in a return tribute, here is the song's video:

I love my dear wifey so much! I'm so lucky to have her in my life. Once she made a list of the things she loved about me, so tonight I do the same.
