Davison online

The charred remains of two hobbits found atop Mt. Doom. So four more years of Bush. To say I'm surprised by the result is the understatement of the year. To say I'm depressed by the result, well, that's the runner-up. It's easy to blame the candidate or to blame the electorate (what kind of boob votes for Bush?), but the truth is that nationwide I do not...

By the way, this is also how I feel when the Steelers lose. I suppose it will surprise no one that I didn't sleep well last night. It looks like Nevada, New Mexico and Ohio will go Bush's way and give him the victory. I don't mind missing on the first two since they were always a shot in the dark anyway. They have large rural populations, tend...

Check back here throughout the night to see what I think, why I think it, and what I'm drinking. Thinking about not voting? Try a little Votenfraude for motivation. Or maybe my bud Jon's encouraging take, although a touch vulgar, will inspire you to get off your duff. 4:30 PM: Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia all too close to call. A Kerry pick up of either...

Just a quick note and reminder to all concerned, both of you, that I will be blogging all throughout the election returns tomorrow night and updating the results constantly. I'll be watching coverage starting around 6 PM and blogging like crazy from then on out. This should keep me out of trouble, or at least out of more trouble than I would otherwise be...

I wish everybody could have as happy a Halloween. After a relatively dismal performance playing indoor soccer up in Portland on Friday night, I was prepared to go down in flames again in today's outdoor game. Almost unbelievably, I had my best game of the season, topping even last week's two goal performance. Within the first 20 minutes I had two goals and...

We've signed up with Netflix again. Netflix, as many of you know, is the online DVD rental outfit that allows you for $18 to rent unlimited DVDs (3 at a time) with no late fees. They now have a Salem-based distribution warehouse, so I'm hopeful that the turnaround times will be considerably better than before when we had to wait 3-4 days per title for...

This evening we ordered some cellular blinds for our bedroom at Home Depot. The woman who helped us through most of the process was nowhere to be found when it came time to actually place the order so we were relegated to a woman who couldn't do fractions, who took a personal cell phone call while entering my order in the computer, and who typed in my...

It's no secret—since I'm not sure we actually have any secrets—that Erin and I have been trying this past summer for Baby Davison #2. Some of you are aware that my work schedule took me to Portland during the first month of what turned out to be some of the prime baby-making days. Coupled with what I can only call an ill-timed and therefore dunderheaded...

Matt and I have a 5 cent bet going. I say that Kerry will win while garnering more than 300 electoral votes. Matt says it will be under 300. If it's 300 exactly, I think we'll donate the money to charity. In my ongoing effort to feel good about this wager, I've been reading stuff like Zogby. I especially like the part where he says that this is Kerry's...
