Update coming soon, busy with life. I am actually working everyday again, Halloween is tomorrow, so I'll take a break this weekend to update, and share some pictures from my trip to my Grandparents in Alabama with my mom, sister and nephew...in the mean time, here's something I rarely put up here, a picture of me!

Which way should Eileen?

I'm undecided, but if I were to pick an alias to go by as a voter, my name would be Eileen Wright (think about it). With all of the complex issues that come with a tight election, I wish Dr. Seuss had something for us to simplify things...maybe he could think of an ending for "one vote, two vote, red vote, blue vote"...Maybe he could tell us for whom the Who's would vote.

The fact is, we're left to educate ourselves, fight through the many voices and talking heads of the mediascreaming at us (and each other), telling us what to do and who to vote for. I'm new to keeping up with political news, and it's difficult to find a trustworthy voice (suggestions are welcomed). After weeks of confusion and frustration, I decided that I am not a dummy, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to do...But I DO need some people to tell me what exactly they would do. So I went to a McCain/Palin rally last week. I honestly wished it was more of a town hall meeting than a rally, but I'll take what I can get. Not only was that an opportunity for me to learn about a candidate from the candidate's mouth, but it was also a great photo-op! I was excited to use my new star filter for the first time. It was tough being a short guy in a crowd of people trying to get pictures, but I got a few decent photos, I'll share a few below.

Less than two weeks to go before the election, so much studying to be done. I think it's funny whenever I hear people say this is possible the most important election of history. I understand the weight of the issues pressing this one, but the past can't be changed, so this IS the most important election because it effects the future. Anyway, just a minor rant. Oh, one more thing. If anyone actually read this whole blog and has any good print, internet or any other resources to get educated, please share!

The pro Mcain slogan
The anti-Obama slogan (decidedly more creative than it's counterpart, "McLame")
The crowds gathered in anticipation...
For Hank Williams Jr.! He was awesome. I could listen to him talk and play guitar all day. I'm sure he's got a ton of great stories, growing up with Johnny Cash, June Carter, and being the son of Hank Williams They finally make it out. Sara Palin, Todd Palin, Hank Jr, John McCain

Hey, look! It's Tina Fey! sometimes I honestly can't tell the difference.
Happy voting!

So I've been lazy updating the blog this week, but here it is, as promised!

This was awesome! Shean hit a nice shot, nothing but ball, even ended up on the fairway...He got pretty good distance on his club head too! It was hilarious. The pastor and his son

Saturday on the Links

Here's a teaser for Saturday's Men's golf outing for church. It went pretty well, 20 guys hit the links then the lunch table on Saturday for some good food and fellowship. It was an amazing day and a lot of fun! Stay tuned for a few more pictures...
