Promised you a Miracle

Dad got the new job.  He's coming up here Monday evening to catch a bus to Okemos, Michigan, for his orientation.  PMTG told him to pack for two weeks - training and a first run.  They seem to be a pretty good outfit, and he's very excited about this.

Now, hopefully, some of this good fortune will rub off on me.

Destination Unknown

Our governor declared Tuesday to be Diversity Day.  A handful of hours later, he removed employment protection from gay and lesbian state workers.  Hooray for Republican integrity.

I'm not bashing the party.  I'm not even bashing conservatives - the real ones.  I agree with good old-school conservative thought - you know, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, minimal interference in day-to-day lives.  It's the crypto-fascists who call themselves neoconservatives that get my dander up.

Aaron wraps up his Spycraft run tonight.  He is a fine, fine GC, and I've greatly enjoyed playing.
