McCain - Palin

So, the Republican team is in town today. There are quite a few people headed to see them this afternoon, just as there were when Obama-Biden were in town last week. I'm not 100% sure why our area is a battleground area. The demographic for our area, combined with the population, I think the would be better suited to go to Philadelphia or Pittsburgh surrounding areas. But, alas, I'm not a political strategist.

On a positive note, I've got a short work week this week with a corporate sales meeting one day, and then some traveling for two days. Effectively making my work week two days long. Awesome.

Some recent 30-days of giving for A. - chick-flick night. "PS I love you" and "Definitely, Maybe" were the chosen flicks. Surprisingly, both were done quite well. Definitely was better for me; more humor, more upbeat storyline, better use of angles for shots, etc. PS was somewhat of a downer, but a good story. Overall, definitely chick-flicks :)

Football

Football season is here! That's great! My two teams - Penn State (for college) and Pittsburgh (for the pros) - won this weekend, so it's all good! Football always makes it seem like fall way before it really is... it even smelled like fall outside.

Big news over the weekend - Freddie & Fannie placed into conservatorship which really wasn't a surprise that it happened, but at the same time, it will be interesting to see what changes are made in the lending world. And, if and when those changes occur, how it will impact my job specifically. Writing on the wall or paranoia?
