Rockford and our expat friend Chris have a long-standing rivalry rooted in football. Chris graduated from the University of Georgia, and Rockford lived in Alabama for the first three years of his life, which he seems to think obligates him to be a ‘Bama fan. This weekend, the teams meet up in Athens. Chris asked Rockford to commemorate the event with a little smack talk over on his Web site: Your Cadillac Has Got a Wheel in the Ditch at A Free Man.
There was a time when I would have voted for John McCain for president. Even though he seems to have changed quite a bit since then, I was withholding judgment on him this time around until he picked his VP. Because of the “one heartbeat away from the presidency” thing, the VP pick is always important, but it seemed a little more so with McCain because of his age. Have you seen anything from Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric? It continues to boggle my mind that the McCain camp thought this was a good idea.
I tried to avoid Facebook for quite a long time, but once I joined up I found that, like Kate, “I’m not cool enough to be too cool for Facebook.” She expands on the social site’s allure in kate is watching you.
Another Kate is feeling a bit Overwhelmed right now. Her family left Galveston ahead of Hurricane Ike, and then she had a baby. They can’t go home yet because their house took in about 3 feet of water. Pop over there and lend some moral support.
