Quick Hits

* One of my favorite features of My Yahoo website settings, is the RSS page, where you can add XML feeds of your favorite blogs. One web page that shows you when your favorite blogs make an entry? Hoo-ah!

* Common thinking on Wall Street is that the stock market is pricing in a George Bush 2nd term. I don't believe in dancing in the endzone until the game is over. It probably doesn't matter much who wins in the big picture, but I'm not too impressed with Kerry. So, I guess I'm hoping W gets the win in November.

* I'm footballed out. My God, I watched a bunch of games over the weekend.

* I just had one of those 500 calorie muffins. Bleh.

* Now if only all blogs created a site feed... Sigh.

* Good news for this blog, is that I've got a new template about ready to go. Of course, it does retain the chalkboard and school theme. Life is all about going down the learning curve one step at a time.

* I was in Nevada over the weekend, and after 3 days of drinking, gambling, and hanging out in casinos, I'm ready to hunker down and read a good book. Hah. I'm thinking The Amber Room looks like a good read.

* I heard on the news, that teenage women drink more than teenage men. Peer pressure, trying to fit in, etc. Blah blah blah. I think the men do some serious catching up in their 20's and 30's, but that's just a guess.

* Stocks? The thought is that September is weak normally. Yet, in presidential election years, we often rally to the election. "Pick 'em" is the way that would be termed at the sports book, when neither side seems to have an edge.
