Forget my post from yesterday; damn kid held a freaking press conference to announce that he hasn't made up his mind! Now Penn State has entered the equation and I think we've lost him. Penn State would be ok by me; anywhere but Ohio State. On a separate note, it is astonishing how much traffic my blog got today by people searching his name.

Fascinating watching Super Tuesday last night. I love the political season and listening to the pundits (most of whom know nothing). This is a spectacular race all around; one of the best in my lifetime. I love a good competition and this is shaping up to be just that. I must say though that I am surprised left leaning Cali did not go for Barack.

Did something pretty strange/dumb tonight; I donned my miners lamp and ran up to the big state park in the pitch freaking black. I must have been a site to behold. Anyway I ran about two miles to my favorite hill, which goes upward for oh, about a mile, and ran 5 :90 second hill repeats, which is a pretty gnarly workout. But on the fourth I looked up and it was pitch black -- and I mean pitch freaking black, and I got a bit spooked. The thought entered my mind that if some axe murderer killed me they probably wouldn't find my sorry ass for a month. Then I started thinking about how mountain lions like to hunt at night. Needless to say, I did finish the workout, but I hightailed it out of there pretty quickly.
On the subject of mountain lions, I saw the world's largest freaking bobcat two weeks ago while on the trail. That was a sight to behold. Looked like a housecat on a Rodger Clemens-ish dose of steroids.

The Solomon's are headed to Hawaii in less than two weeks for a some much needed R&R. It has been quite some time since I have had a proper vacation. Anyway, I need some new books. ANyone have any recommendations? I am thinking about the new William Vollman (too depressing for vacation) and the new Charles Bock book which is receiving near universal accolades.

I have been pretty quiet thus far on this subject, but it's shaping up to be a good season of American Idol. Anyone else watching?
