DAVID COOK ROCKS!

Congratulations David Cook! I'm pleasantly surprised that David Cook is the new American Idol. He's been my favorite for most of this season! GO DAVID COOK! YOU ROCK KANSAS CITY!

Media double standard

You can bet that if Obama was a Republican, the "mainstream" media would be having a field day with some of the doozies that Michelle Malkin lists in her column today on Townhall.com.

Busy Time

I've been extremely busy over the past couple of weeks so haven't had much chance lately to post. Hopefully things settle down to normal soon!

Work commute time quadruples!

On 5/9/08 I moved out of the AT&T office building in North Dallas of which I had worked for the most of the past six years. As of 5/12/08 I'm now located on the 31st floor of AT&T's largest office building in downtown Dallas. Thus began a whole new experience for me!

For the past 18 years, I've lived within 15 minutes of where I worked. Now however it takes me 15 minutes just to get to the train station. I then board the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) light rail for my ride into downtown. The next leg of my trip involves walking two blocks from where I de-board the train to the AT&T office complex. It then concludes with a long ride up the elevator! My total commute time is now one hour each way, which is definitely going to take some getting used to. :(

It's pool season!

I took advantage of the nice weather in Dallas this weekend by spending a lot time laying out in the sun. Yesterday I got in the pool for the first time this year. The water temp was just 76 degrees but it felt great! Tom and I both got into the pool today - athough it took a bit of a push from me to get Tom into the water!
