Happy 375th Birthday National Guard
Ron Paul will swing by the Milford Oval tomorrow ~10am. Wonder if I can finagle a way to see him.
Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools and head to Cafe on the Oval for a quick breakfast. Listened to more of "Reamde" on the drive down to Boxborough.
In helping Abby with her homework she asked me what my favorite Constitutional amendment was. To be semi-contrarian I answered the 18th (that is, prohibition 1919-1933). I told her it showed the limitations of just making laws, even with the best of intentions, because of unintended side effects which flow from human nature and reactions to the law.

Happy 375th birthday, National Guard.
Just ordered Bill Bennett 's "Book of Man" via Audible.com (Audible link) and (Amazon link)
Yet another reason to be excited for Christmas, at least for us Dr. Who fans: the latest Christmas episode trailer
RT @CurtJester: “So Men in Black 3 will have a time travel plot. Can they go back in time and undo Men in Black 2?”
Happy that the #1 "Sleeper Tech" at the CNET 100 of 2011 was the laptop I was considering picking up once Christmas is over. See also this video.
Left home around 5:45, listening to more of "Reamde" along the way. When I got home I remembered that Michelle has a cancer support group meeting tonight. The kids are fending for themselves as I have a 7 o'clock conference call with San Diego (as I do most nights this week).
Yet one more reason I'm glad I don't use the tanning booth at my local Golds Gym. (news link) Creep!

Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. I'm wiped out. Couldn't even make it through an iCarly episode with the girls without dozing. Good night all!
