At 40, nobody wants to see the birthday suit

Well I made it to 40...Whooo-Hoooo!

Weather is rainy and cold but when you are celebrating what could arguably be the greatest moment in history...a little rain isn't a big deal!

Both of the kids had games last night. Drew's team lost and Jess' team got second place in the tournament. From what I hear, the both played well.

I have a meeting this morning and the rest of the day is open. I also got my new desk chair yesterday so that was an early birthday gift.

So we bought a conference table for the office and we received the top about a week ago. Since the chairs arrived we figured there must be a problem with the base of the table so Nancy called the company to find out what the delay was. Well, wouldn't you know it....THE BASE WAS SOLD SEPERATELY!!! What the hell!

We had to purchase the bottom of the table separately. I want to ask them how many people just buy the top of the table but after thinking about it, the guy could have said "Just you!".

Ok, so we are ordering the bottom.

The last presidential debate is tonight. I suppose I will watch it to see if McCain goes into the gutter to shift momentum.

The government is literally forcing healthy banks to take money from the bailout in return for shares in the company. Sort of like a hostile take over without the Democracy part. What country are we living in?

So the Republican party is "concerned" about voter registration fraud by a grassroots voter registration group called ACORN. Here's the thing. It is VOTER REGISTRATION!! You can register Mickey Mouse to vote but guess what...He won't show up! How about the years of voter suppression in minority and poor neighborhoods? How about making it mandatory in some states to have a valid drivers license to vote. Who do you think that hurts? Get a grip!

Ok, enough rant. I think it is time to get back to aging.

FYI, all my parts seem to be still attached to my body. I am hoping that is a good thing.
