Are we seeing the approach of a perfect political storm? Today's economic news featured the highest monthly inflation numbers in 25 years. Since the Carter Administration, people. If you think gas prices have peaked, I've got some partly-cooked Costco sample kielbasa to sell you. Less influentially but equally troubling to economists that try to look forward (unlike pundits), industrial production numbers for the US are in the toilet. So where's the good news for the Bushies? In a poorly-staged satellite Dubya-fest with 10 hand-picked ass-kissing heroes? In Karl Rove testifying for 4 AND A HALF HOURS THIS MORNING BEFORE THE GRAND JURY? In tomorrow's Iraqi election? In the MLB playoffs? In the Minnysoda Vikings sex cruise scandal? If I was Rove's replacement, I'd seriously consider trying to pin blame on the Vikings.
Maya got a flu shot yesterday and didn't even flinch. Tough broad, that kid. Her top tooth also seems to have officially busted through. As a result, she's a bit more testy and willing to bitch than usual. Hard to blame her.
Since the Packers have a bye week, I'm psyched to tag along on a decidedly non-NFL activity with a college friend of Sarah's (Whitney - an architect in LA) who's coming to town to check out the new de Young Museum in our 'hood. If you haven't seen the reviews for this weekend's opening, you should know that I'm not alone in adoring this building. We walk/run by it almost every day and have been through the "soft opening" areas allowing free entry since September. This weekend the whole space opens for the public and we're going on Sunday with Whitney. If you're interested, check out the deYoung website. I'll post a full review this week after we get the full rundown with an actual architect leading our uninformed asses through the mix. Rock on.
