Soon very soon, people will be able to bring concealed guns to work....

just like in Texas! YEE-HAAW!!!

Gettin' back to the wild wild west...

An interesting op-ed about the election that sort of touches on what I'm eventually going to blog about...

This is the time of year that I pop in "A Charlie Brown Chrstmas" CD by the Vince Guaraldy Trio into my CD player and just listen to the great jazz that just sets the tone and the mood of the holidays right. Man, I love this time of year ... all the joy, the hope ...

"An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord." -Luke 2:9-11 (NIV)

An interesting blog ... where else will you find a Nobel Prize winner and a Federal judge blogging? Very intellectual but at the same time.... pretty interesting...

Two finals down, one to go...

Ok, Christmas shopping....

I don't usually blog much about my gf but this time of year gets me to start thinking about gift-giving for her.... and I need ideas... so far, here are some general ideas I've been given...

-jewelry
-clothes
-electronics
-a trip somewhere

Each has its drawbacks:

-jewelry: she may not wear it very much, plus she doesn't really wear jewelry... at all... then again, i got her a scarf last year and she's bearly worn it at all... hrm...

-Clothes: see above comment on scarf... plus it's always hard because my sense of style is somewhat different than hers... *ponder*

-electronics: I might buy something that is more for me than for her.... hehehehe *evil smile*

-a trip somewhere: the trouble with one of my favorite ideas (giving a photoalbum with a plane ticket inside to *name your destination*) is that she hardly has any time to go on vacation... always working.... hrm...

so yeah, always tough getting gifts; if you guys and gals *especially the gals out there* have good ideas, let me know!
