Georgia game...yikes
I was hoping it wouldn't be close, but I was afraid it would be. The Gator fans at work are smelling blood. I don't mind the true fans, but the Red Sox fans who come in at the end of conversations and don't know anything bug me with their comments. I am going to bed.

Palin pick, weight loss update
When I first heard that McCain picked Palin I thought it was pure genius. Especially the timing of the thing. I heard most of her speech at the convention and she brings a lot of fire to the table.
I think the pick was calculated to give independents and women a reason to vote for McCain and to give conservatives hope that McCain dies early in office. I still don't know who I will vote for this time around. I am leaning towards Obama because I think McCain is a bit old and those torture years had to make an impact on his life expectancy. I am not crazy about Palin as a president if something happens to McCain because I think she lets religion influence her too much.
I honestly think both candidates are moderates. Obama has a liberal voting record because there hasn't been too much that was really crazy come up for a vote and I don't have a problem with his votes for the most part. I think McCain has conservative beliefs, but he mostly votes like a moderate and he knows how to give to get. I think Obama also has this quality. Obama also seems even tempered and he smokes on the sly. I really can't lose in this election.
Weight loss update:
I have been stuck at about 195 for about a month. This week I may get it down to 192, but it is difficult to push like I used to. My goal weight is 185. I think I will make October the month where I hit it hard and log it down. I am running at least 1 5K that month and I can celebrate the achievement with a UGA victory over Florida.
Work update:
I took the Corrections Sergeant exam last month. 49 signed up to take it, 37 showed up for the initial exam. 13 of us made it to phase 2. 9 of us made it to phase 3. 7 of us passed the test and were placed on a waiting list. I am ranked 2nd on the list and expect to be promoted to Sergeant next spring.
Kid update:
Zach plays his first high school football game tomorrow. We are all looking forward to it. He has straight A's so far and has been keeping up with his homework. He is taking AP Human Geography and several advanced classes. He is looking at playing Lacrosse this winter(Lacrosse?)...
Chloe loves kindergarten and is going to Nicole's school. She is a bit bossy and wants to include everyone in her games all the time. She loves to play teacher especially and rule the roost.
Everyone is healthy and Nicole starts her second Master's class soon.
