The NYC marathon's 7th mile is two blocks from our apartment. Sofia and I got down there just in time to see the lead pack come through.













There they are...













...and there they go. It was pretty quick. We also watched Lance Armstrong go by, but I couldn’t get the camera out quick enough.













Fall colors.













On the way back to the apt. we caught a glimpse of the mysterious black squirrel.













Later we walked around Prospect Park.













Can you tell we love parks.













This shot didn’t work out quite right.
































Can you see me?













There I am. I'm really into climbing trees now. After work instead of heading home, I go straight to the park and climb a new tree. So far I've conquered 74 trees.













Daniela is really into sleeping.













It was really cold.

Dude, I just realized I am missing a picture of the pizza we had. Crap. It was from Grimaldis, duh. And it was a lot better than last week's.



























Where are we going?













Bocccccccccccce!


















Sofia and I kicked butt. We played many bouts and finally lost to a couple of amateurs, probably because we were tired from so many games.

Kinky for Governor!

I know it is probably too late. I don't know how I forgot to post this a lot earlier. But for all you Texans out there, please vote Kinky today. That Perry guy is a jerk. Some democrat suit is running, but he's no good. I already have one person confirmed voting for Kinky. Com'onnnnnnnnn people!

Go to his website, he has the best commercials. Watch the cartoons. They are classic:

From Today's Writers Almanac

Today is Election Day. Millions of people across the country will be going to the polls today to elect new legislators, judges, sheriffs, and school board members. For the first 50 years of American elections, only 15 percent of the adult population was eligible to vote. To be eligible to vote at the time, you had to be a white male property owner. In Connecticut, you had to be a white male property owner of a "quiet and peaceable behavior and civil conversation."
Thomas Dorr was one of the first politicians to argue that poor people should be given voting rights. As a member of the Rhode Island legislature, Dorr argued that all white adult men should have the vote, regardless of their wealth. He incited a riot to protest the governor's election of 1842 and went to prison for treason, but most states began to let poor white men vote soon after. Women were given the right to vote in 1920, and many African Americans were prevented from voting in the South until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Today, the only group of adult American citizens who are regularly prevented from voting are convicted felons.

Gore Vidal said, "Half of the American people never read a newspaper. Half never vote for president. One hopes it is the same half."

W.C. Fields said, "I never vote for anyone. I always vote against."

Ted Haggard may be in trouble

UPDATE,10:14pm: Ted Haggard, one of the most prominent evangelical pastors in the nation, resigned today as president of the National Association of Evangelicals amid allegations that he carried on a three-year sexual relationship with a male prostitute.












I hope this aint true....

Not because I am a fan of Ted Haggard, but because I am a Protestant and we dont need anymore bigtime hypocrites. God knows we have enough.

Am I scooping Drudge? Well not really, I got this from crooksandliars.com.

Two Lies and One Truth

Sofia's bday in the morning (sort of). Jillian came out to the country to have brunch at Cousin John's.













It was really windy by Target. For Sofia's birthday I made her buy me socks.




















Later we had a piece of the cake I made for Sofia. It's really good; it's chocolate with caramel and raspberries.
