En Route

Mobile posting is a lot trickier than it looks. I’m now on a plane to Denver via Dallas after a weekend with extended pseudofamily. Long story. Anyway, cool thing happened over dinner last night. Turns out “insurance company rules” is making the rounds in Jersey. Not knowing it was my baby, someone mentioned it – as in “it’s been sent to me at least 30 times.”

I’m like a proud parent. I’ll see the brain behind the video tomorrow night and look forward to sharing the good news.

Small victories.


Biden

I’m on vacation for a couple of days. But … Yea!


B Aggressive


If Obama picks Biden and Biden gets to be the bad guy and say all the stuff Obama won’t, how excited would I be?

Biden’s always had a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease, but if he can keep it in check until November, he’s going to be great fun to watch.

Personally, I like his tendency to screw up from time to time. It makes him more human/less stuffy Senator. But considering “bitter” was enough to throw the nation into a tizzy, I’m probably alone in that sentiment.

Off the Hook


Someone drunk dialed my work voicemail last night at 3:45am. I don’t recognize the voice so it’s entirely possible it was a wrong number. However, I do say my name on the outgoing recording.

It was a man. He slurred his words. He professed his love.

Good to know.

Lying in Wait


The new Harry & Louise ad debuted today. I’m not a fan. I’m not linking to it on principle.

I’m also not a fan of AHIP’s being invited to speak at this morning’s press event.

Why trust the insurance industry to fix the health care mess? It’s like the old story of the fox and the gingerbread man.

Yeah, that ended well.

Josh on Joe


Josh Marshall thinks Biden would be a good choice for VP. Duncan‘s less thrilled but not entirely turned off.

If you read this blog regularly, you know exactly where I stand on the subject.

Nice Memory

A friend just emailed me this photo of Cal and me from Feb 2005 – our very first week of Inside the Blogs.

Even though I wasn’t able to get to NYC, I did watch Cal’s memorial streamed live online. There was something wonderfully appropriate about being able to be there virtually and chat with his friends and family. Very Pseudo-esque.

Cal would have been proud.

In Memoriam


Cal’s Obit in the NYT. It’s a full article, and it’s well done.

There is a memorial party for him in the EV tonight. I don’t think I am going to be able to make it. I am wrestling with that decision, but ultimately, I think I will be alright with it.

At least I hope I will.

Wiikend


Happy Friday. I am having a strange start to the weekend. I’m watching John explore the Everybody Votes Channel on our Wii. Don’t ask. I have no idea.

Seeing as he has yet to update the poem of the week, it’s tough to give you the usual link. I’ll just point you to the blog and trust he’ll get to it eventually.

Ok, now he just downloaded The Legend of Zelda. No joke. The classic. I totally adore this man.

Don’t forget to check out his Sunday column here. I’m off to crack open a bottle of wine and indulge in a serious bout of Nintendo flashbacks.

Have a good one.
