Voting is like whaaat?
Good morning! I dropped the older four off at their schools and head down to the office. I listened to Security Now #375, one of my favorite tech podcasts, on the drive down. Michelle went to Mass, dropped Timothy off at school, and is now heading to a Step class at Golds.

Joined a bunch of driver guys for lunch at Not Your Average Joes.
It's interesting to watch those who hated Colin Powell for his famous UN speech and it “getting us into Iraq with no WMDs” suddenly hailing him for endorsing President Obama.
Video: Most awkward campaign ad to date: Comparing voting to losing your virginity. We've gone from JFK's “ask not what your country…” to “the President who cares that you have free birth control.”
Left work a little after six o'clock. Listened to This Week in Google #169 on the commute home. One of their main discussions was whether Google's new (and by the way sold out) ChromeBooks will be a flop like netbooks were after the initial hype. I can see arguments both ways. Some said the iPad was just a overgrown iPodTouch, but it continues to thrive.
Had a simple dinner and relaxed with the children. We said prayers with the kids and sent the boys to bed. I fell asleep on the couch, again turning into my father. Still I love Thursday nights for its lack of obligations. No workout, no RCIA, no band practice.

‘I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!’ ” — Luke 12
