Another Monday, another week of work. Hard to concentrate after a crazy Badger game this past weekend against #5 Purdue. Coming out 7-0 on the eve of the BSC rankings Wisconsin came out rated #6, and who knows if things stay steady from here on out, they might even bust into a big time bowl, or at least the Rose bowl. Its strange, almost like reliving the back to back Championships that they won when I was an undergrad, a lot of people have been telling me that I went to school at the right time, to see 2 Rose Bowls, a Heisman, and a Final Four, all in the span of 4 years. Who knows, if I had made it into the dual program maybe I’d see a National Championship as well?
Good distraction from work and other stuffs. I’ve been assessing my future in the District as far as options, and career choices, come to the conclusion that I’m in pretty good shape so far. Will have to see how this first year goes, lots of crossroads are ahead for sure. I’m thinking that for now I’m willing to ride this job as far as it will take me.
Read an article last week about Barney Hajiro of the 442nd being awarded France’s Legion of Honor. Couldn’t help but wonder if that Internment lady takes note of this, or what her response would be. I’m sure she’d make some wise-crack about France. It always surprises me how historically ignorant people can be, or quick to wish a revision or two or three. Last I checked her book wasn’t doing so hot on the NYtimes bestseller list, maybe people finally realized how crappy it was.
Been following the election, and Nader’s Back, by many accounts. I’m still not sold on the arguement that he cost the election for the Dems. Never thought that the Democratic party was the party of progressives. But after the past four years, who knows. I still think its a cop-out to blame Nader two elections in a row.
