So long Bank of America. I won't be missing ya... RED SOX 2004 World Series Champions!!!

So, old job's officially over. New job starts Monday. Woo-hoo!!!

The Presidential race is tightening and even "The Economist" which backed George W. Bush in 2000 has endorsed John Kerry saying it was a difficult choice but in the end President Bush had been too incompetent to deserve re-election.

In related news, disaffected Republicans have launched an 11th hour grassroots effort to unseat President George W. Bush with an advertising blitz across eight swing states. The initiative has the backing of John Eisenhower, son of the Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower. The campaign features a copy of Eisenhower's letter, "Why I Will Vote For John Kerry" which first appeared in the Manchester Union Leader.

And in other news, the RED SOX have won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. having grown up within earshot of the Red Sox Triple A farm team and having been fortunate enough to meet the likes of Fred Lynn, Jim Rice, Dwight Evans and even Bill "Spaceman" Lee, this victory had special meaning to me. Although admittedly, it felt very strange to watch the last out of game 4 occur so peacefully. After years of last minute errors, and untold angst, it just didn't feel like the Red Sox to win so assuredly! But, I'll take it just the same!!!

Be nice.

Peace
