Who's Afraid of Happy Days

This is my post election day post!

Natural-amente--- I am VERY happy about the outcome of the 2006 national elections..but I don't need to add anything to all the spin and analysis that is already part of the pixelated world..except to SING...

(Follow the Bouncing Ball )

Happy Days are Here Again.. the skies above are clear again
(Go... Sen. Boxer)
So let's sing a song of cheer again. Happy days are here again.

Okay...Optimism is the attitude of fools.... but I can be a fool for a day or two.

I started reading "The Waves" by Virginia Woolf this weekend. I was quite inspired by this essay and decided maybe it is time to read a book ( with pages I can destroy or go back to ten years from now...unlike the pixelated world). I am at the half-way mark...Next weekend, maybe I will have a great essay about how Bernard and G.W. are twins separated by decades....or maybe I won't. Is Condi...Susan? Is Karl Rove...Louis? Is the entire Rep.party Louis?

Stay Tuned!

It's September

Summer is over and it is back to the serious business of education and governing. The Science Bloggers are all back in school and our intrepid American journalists are sharpening their pencils and wits in anticipation of the upcoming 2006 election season. Here in California the movie star governor is up for re-election...(Ssh...I think its a secret). I'm not sure what we will be asked to decide about the governance of the city of San Francisco...I read in the Chronicle that it will be ten issues, including the impeachment of Bush and Cheney...which means if the Republicans lose the House......

Those of us conspiracy theory nuts are waiting for a Bush October surprise....or more likely a Diebold surprise.

Meantime I intend to enjoy our San Francisco September weather and be grateful that I can write for fun and not worry about grades.

Stop and Watch the Ocean

We've had a hot week here in San Francisco. Summer heat in the Bay Area always means those of us that live at Ocean Beach will be sharing our piece of cool heaven with a few other people. Maybe a little more than a few people. The computer system that runs isntitobvious has had a few glitches lately and has received a few upgrades. But it has been very pleasant to get up from the computer and stop and watch the ocean.

I have been listening to virtualia radio this afternoon via the revived isntitobvious computer. Virtualia radio plays a mixture of classical music and film scores and is perfect for staring at the ocean on a weekend summer afternoon.

Excuses and More Excuses

I get back from Oklahoma and then it's off to the East Coast. That's my excuse for not blogging in May. I hit the big 50 in May. I still have not received my invitation from AARP. They are probably busy trying to navigate the problems caused by the Medicare prescription drug program and forgot about me.

Actor Tom Hanks, starring in that green tomato-splatted movie The Da Vinci Code, also turns 50 this year.

Quote: The year I was born, 1956, was the peak year for babies being born, and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.

Hmm...a new special interest group...the 56ers.
