Obama’s Accomplishments More Substantial than Clinton’s

Hillary Clinton (and her hitman husband former President Bill Clinton) have been claiming Obama is inexperienced and not ready to lead, well… they aren’t exactly right. In fact, way wrong!

Obama was a community organizer and led a voter-registration effort in Chicago that added tens of thousands of people to the rolls. He was a civil rights attorney and taught at one of the nation’s premier universities. He helped pass complicated measures in the Illinois legislature on the death penalty, racial profiling, health care and more. In Washington, he has worked with Republicans on nuclear proliferation, government waste and global warming, amassing a record that speaks to a fast start while lacking the heft of years of service.

Red Rising

I had a wonderful oppertunity to go to a Chicago Blackhawks game last night. I went with my dad, sister, and her boyfriend (Mike). The hawks lost, but it was a good time. Click the picture below to see the pictures… 

PS: “Red Rising“ is the PR slogan for the Blackhawks. 


I Believe I Can Fly!

Well, figuratively speaking of course. ;-)   I’ve been following the principles of a wonderful woman called FlyLady (www.flylady.net) for the last several years.  Nothing’s perfect, but I keep trying.  Anyway, she recently came out with a great tool for my teacher friends and since I know that they read this blog (Jen!) I thought I’d put the address here.  It’s a tool to get the classroom and all the paperwork involved organized for a teacher and can be adapted to any age. :)
