A few things to muse on today.

First of all, the Red Sox won the World Series in four games. It seemed somehow anti-climactic, to be honest. After that amazing series with the Yankees... I somehow expected more drama. The Sox were so dominant, though (at least in games 2, 3, and 4)...

I called my dad during the fifth inning of game 4... and we watched the end of the game together. Okay, he watched the game and I watched the play-by-play update on ESPN.com (we don't have Fox through Dish Network). Still, it was a nice "together moment."

I will be really happy when the election is over with. This year, especially, the rhetoric and whatnot is disappointing and upsetting. There is so much anger out there... emotions are running high, and there is an even greater lack of rational thought...

Frankly, I hate it. This election -- any election, really -- should be approached with care and thought. This election, on the other hand, seems really driven by a desire to "punish" President Bush -- it doesn't matter who we put in, so long as we put him out.

That's just wrong.

As I've said before, I'm not convinced that re-electing Bush is the best course of action. But senselessly voting aginst him because of a feeling that he stole the 2000 election (which he didn't), is to disrespect the process.
