I’m not sure I ever posted this picture of me and my nephew, Scott. (Who is now ELEVEN!!!!) Its not the greatest picture of me, I know, but I LOVE Scott’s expression. Thats one of my favorite memories about living with him - He is SOOO ticklish! Its great fun. The picture is from last Christmas at my mom’s house in CA.

I love this family.

My favorite line of attack from John McCain and the Republicans is when they lose their temper over the amount of excitement and enthusiasm this campaign is generating. Millions of people have come out to show their support, have volunteered, and have donated, and the McCain campaign runs ads attempting to mock us as if it’s a bad thing that the democratic process is finally working again. As if the race for the presidency is determined by who is the more ordinary of the candidates. Well, we’ve suffered through eight years of an ordinary president and we cannot afford another four. It’s no secret that Barack Obama is an extraordinary human being. It’s time we had an extraordinary president.

Inspired by a good friend, I thought this might be fun to compile today. Like Steve, I’m not a shy or secretive guy, so much of this might be old news. Also, I am in the habit of telling the same stories over and over and over again, so some of this might be downright boring. Narcissism: ON!
