Hey, Sophia, check this out:

What your commute might have been.

That subway looks awesome. And also goes right from my house to work (although I would have to change twice.) Probably faster than the bus.

The thing about my commute that is a little crazy making sometimes is the time between buses. If for some reason leaving work I don't make a bus by 5:20, I basically have to wait between 45 minutes to an hour between buses. And then if something happens and your bus doesn't make the "line-up" (after 5:30 all the buses stop downtown so people can change buses)you get to sit on a bench in downtown Rochester for another hour.

Ugh.

Stephen used to work, literally, across the street from our house. That was an awesome commute, although it did make the occasional urge to play hooky problematic.

A little more Obama love - the girls held back so that the younger kids could win the race. And the puppy arrives today.

There was a little confab between Obama and his daughters just before the race and I was assuming it had to do with that.

Yep, that is he, from that 2006 San Diego con.

My usual routine is first alarm at 7:15am, second alarm at 7:30am, get up ~8am (8:15 third alarm just to be safe), leave at 8:45am, work starts at 9am. Brain wakes up and begins productive work ~9:45 to 10am.

Does the White House have some kind of rule that they have the find the creepiest Easter Bunny costume available? Seriously, none of those bunnies are at all cute.

I always figured that they were the secret service guys, so they made them as creepy as possible so the kids would stay away from them.

Lots of job-ma heading westward Allyson.

What does this video mean? Incomprehensible Christianism Watch

Does it mean that if you don't believe in God, it doesn't matter if someone kills you? Or if there is no God, it doesn't matter if anyone gets killed?

My schedule is different every day. Yesterday was 8am work, some days I don't have to be in before 6pm. I just try to remember to always set the alarm so that the cats will associate being fed with the alarm instead of poking at me.
