Cold morning ;) At least the sun is shining. I've had my two cups of coffee, answered a handful of e-mails and phone calls, and in general feel like I'm in charge. I've read my buddy Dave's blog (www.sudrin.com) and learned how divisive the election can be, even days after the concession speech. Like Dave, I saw the news blurb about the error in Ohio that gave nearly 4,000 votes to Bush - I say 'gave', because the district reported 4,258 voted for Bush, while 260 voted for Kerry - which was a neat trick, given that only 638 people voted in that precinct. This is just one precinct, one reported problem, which could have been cancelled out by an overage to Kerry in some other locale, or to Nader . But the fact remains that we have no way of verifying, much less certifying, how many votes went to EITHER candidate. Here we are, leader of the free world, and we can't conduct verifiable elections. Does that bother anyone else out there?
Got a late start today, so apparently Karma says I have to make up for it by being incredibly busy. I've been in the office for three hours, and I've spent at least one hour answering e-mail, one hour acting as counselor, and one hour on the phone. It's 2:00 and I'm finally getting my first cup of coffee for the day - what does that tell you. So far I've learned that most doctors are quacks - they all just guess at the problem, and sometimes they get lucky and guess right. I've learned that if you subscribe to Ifit.com, eventually you'll catch an ear-worm - I've listened to essentially the same music over and over for so many months now that I often catch myself humming it. I've learned that my sister is a nutcase and sends me way too much funny stuff. At least it's Friday.
