Out of the Blue Update...

Hey ya'll.

So, about a year ago, I made myself the ad hoc director of Morale at my place of employment. I started sending out e-mails, about one a day, that just told people what the day was going to be like. It was silly, it was funny, it was pretty much me.

This year I kept it up, but expanded it to the whole school. I've gotten some pretty positive feedback, but in looking back at the year, I realize that I do not have all of them, and that made me kind of sad, because it's some of my best writing since college. So, I have put all of the e-mails that I DO have saved on a new blog, viewable by everyone. I will update it every weekday when I send one to my coworkers.

If you're interested, here is the address:

Thanks, and enjoy.

Yes, we did!

So, back in November I began a post that was supposed to explain why I was so excited about President Obama winning.

It didn't take.

Long story short, I feel responsible for the deaths of all of our soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, as I voted for President Bush. And, as I can see now that the war in Iraq is unjust, it seemed that the only thing that I could do was to put forth as much effort as I could to achieve this day.

(No, I don't claim responsibility for Obama's win; that belongs to all of us.)

So. Now that we have a president who will work diligently towards removing us from Iraq, I can feel somewhat better. I don't think that this absolves me of my culpability, but it does do something to aliviate the heavy feeling in my gut.

So...Happy Obama Day. And, God bless ALL of us. (NOT just the USA.)
