TKC DNC Update: Day 0

Some thoughts on the day. While standing next to him at baggage claim, I came to a sad realization: I’m shorter than Dennis Kucinich.

Tonight the Democrats put on a concert celebrating their “greenness.” As part of this, recycling is very big here. Unfortunately their concession area had a billion recycling bins and no trash cans. I had to dump non-recyclable trash in a recycling bin out of desperation. I think that defeats the point.

The Dave Matthews Sugarland, and Sheryl Crow concert was pretty cool.

Everything I needed to know, I learned in kindergarten

“. . . But they all probably know more; About proper punctuation and capitalization.”

Soaring High

One mile high to be accurate – but more on that in a minute.

For the past week, I have been quite delinquent in my posting.  I’m starting a new job in DC in November, and I spent this week out in our nation’s capital looking for a place to live.  Sadly, no luck yet.

I am sure that you are just as distressed as I am about my imminent homelessness, so please take a seat, because this next point is a doozy: my posting for the next week is not likely to improve.  There, I said it.  You’re angry, aren’t you?  I can see it in your eyes.  But wait, I have a good excuse!  I’m going to Denver to attend the Democratic National Convention.

No, I’m not a delegate.  Really, I’m just going for the parties and the food.  Maybe I’ll get to meet some cool people like Willie Nelson.  He gives beer to his horses, and that’s kinda badass.

Even though the convention has nothing to do with fortune cookies (although I hear Beijing is bidding to host the Republican Convention is 2012), I may put up a post or two from Denver if I see something interesting.  If I can think of something witty to say about it, all the better.

I’ll leave you with a new fortune shortly.  However, for the rest week, check back to see any updates from Denver, Colorado and the Convention.
