Holy Crap!

Sen Arlen Specter makes it official and becomes a democrat. I bet Santorum wants to kick him in the ass over this!!!!! Arlen knew he was going to lose to Toomey. This makes a Toomey victory in November much more difficult!

Check out my daughter Natalie feeding a dolphin!

Swine Flu

I was just a kid, but I do remember this from 1976. It is quite a different world now.

If you couldn't tell...

I have been on vacation. Fortunately, I was in Florida and the Bahamas and not Mexico.

Rabbit Run 5K in Latrobe today

Rhonda placed 2nd in her age division. Once again, she finished just before judicial candidate Michele Bononi.

"Three Cool Cats"

I ran into Sen. Kim Ward and Debbie Irwin last night at Beatlemania Now at Greensburg's Palace Theatre. Their seats were right behind me. I had the whole family with me. Rhonda, Liz, Natalie and Olivia all enjoyed the show. It was nice seeing two former county GOP chairs and overall fun people. It was the first time I have seen Kim Ward since she was elected. She is the same friendly and fun loving person she always has been. Chuck Dominick (Latrobe mayoral candidate) was sitting right in front of me. As much as he must have wanted to get into this photo so he could present it as a present to his boss, Tom Balya, Debbie would never had allowed it.

Elizabeth sat in front of Sen. Ward. Liz still loves politics. Maybe some day she could intern in Kim's office. That would be sort of cool.

FYI, Three Cool Cats is a song off Beatles Anthology 1. It also applies in this case.

Just so you know, I am not losing my hair. Sort of looks like it. I ran out of the shampoo I like and the crap my kid had in the shower has made my hair stiff. With all the running, it just kind of stays back like that.

Westmoreland County Judge

I am supporting Meagan Bilik DeFazio for judge. You can vote for two. Should I support two or just vote for one? Make your case in the comments section.

Ray LaMontagne at the Palace last night.

It was pretty good, but Ray is certainly an introvert. Check out Chuck Konkus on the drums. At least he reminded me of Chuck Konkus (Chuck's a famous republican). My new phone is exceptionally cool and my wife did not fall asleep during this show like she did at Son Volt.
