Normally, I try to avoid even a roundabout mention of politics, since this is a gaming site, but this is kind of cool...
A friend from high school posted some links on Facebook from his work with the Heritage Foundation. He's an expert on financial regulations, and was part of a panel discussion on certain aspects of Dodd-Frank. As part of the discussion, he got to introduce Senator Richard Shelby, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
A second link he posted is so anyone who wanted to could watch his forthcoming 5 minutes of speaking in front of the House Committee on Financial Services.
And I read today that Marvel has scored Neil Gaiman to finish the work he did on Miracleman all those many years ago. Could be interesting.
wasn't a fan of miracleman.

Gonna be a busy day. The boy has his swimming lessons this morning. Then we're having guest over for my wife's one-day-later birthday celebration: my brother and his family, and the wife's good friend and her family. There shall be grilled burgers, hotdogs, and corn, among other things. Afterwards....SPLASHPAD!

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Ha ha ha ha ha...
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone, gone
In empty burning hell - unholy one
But he's returned to prove them wrong (so wrong)
Ooh, yeah baby
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Oh Oh yeah, bark at the moon
hi AZ and Patrick

I vistied my dad with boy today, it was great watching the two playing and he helped pick up the too-early-fallen-apples under the trees for compostation (is that a corrext english word?)
I hope they can enjoy each other for many years, my dad is 78 already

I envy you a bit. Yesterday would have been my parent's 52 anniversary. We all called my mom to make sure she was doing well.

Well, I've been kicked out of might near every bar around
I've been locked up for drivin' a hundred and twenty through town
Well, I've been shot at and cut with a knife
For messing around with another mans wife
But other than that we ain't nothing, just good ol' boys
I threw my boss out a window and got fired from my last job
Hot-wired a city truck and turned it over in the Mayor's yard
Well I beat my brother-in-law half to death
I lost twenty bucks on his football bet
But other than that we ain't nothing, just good ol' boys
Good ol' boys, we're all the same
Ain't no way we'll ever change
Mean no harm by the things we do
Or the trouble that we get into
Other than a wild hair once in a while
We can't help it, it's just our style
And good ol' boys is all we'll ever be
I got an alimony payment that's six weeks overdue
I got caught with a trunk full of bootleg out-a-state booze
I hocked my wife's diamond ring last June
Bought me an outboard Evinrude
But other than that we ain't nothin', just good ol' boys
Good ol' boys, we're all the same
Ain't no way we'll ever change
Mean no harm by the things we do
Or the trouble that we get into
Other than a wild hair once in a while
We can't help it, it's just our style
Good ol' boys is all we'll ever be
Good ol' boys is all we'll ever be
Saw an article on Facebook giving a Top 50 list of craft breweries. I'm fairly certain none of the top ten were anywhere near New York, which is as it should be.
no, we are in the teens there. The hipsters in hipster hell/Williamsburg are doing what they can, but they aren't there yet.
