Is it too soon to say that I’m already getting nervous about the upcoming election?

For almost four years both houses of Congress have been dominated by Republicans. We’ve had a conservative Republican president who has now made two (in one case, explicitly conservative) appointments to a previously split Supreme Court.

– THE WEEKEND – On Friday, work got out early. I went to a Borders on 6th Ave., and explored. It’s quite an amazing place, although at some $20 a pop, I can see why the free hours are so popular.

It’s been almost two weeks since the Great Hunt wrapped up, so perhaps you are almost over your Scavhunt Withdrawal. It’s still going strong in me however, and everything was a little nostalgic this year since I don’t know whether or if I will have a role in next year’s Hunt.

For your convenience, here is the ordered account of Jess’ and my trip to Chicago this month:

Trip to Chicago, Part 1. Arrival.
Trip to Chicago, Part 2. The Judges meet the Captains.
Trip to Chicago, Part 3.

The last two weeks of blogging have been mostly dominated by our Chicago trip and the Hunt, but they’ve actually been relatively eventful in-and-of-themselves.

Also known as Trip to Chicago, Part 14.

– YESTERDAY – I watched Day of the Dead with Cody, cleaned some, and later on, Jess and Cody and I went to a housecooling party thrown by Daniel, a New School friend. Mostly, though, I worked on the last several entries for this blog.
