More politics


So I am listening to This American Life and they do a little story on the former mayor of Cincinnati Finn's hometown. I knew that Jerry Springer used to be in politics, and I assumed he was sleazy then too. But it is an interesting story about what kind of a politician he is and how he reconciles that with the sleazy show he now hosts. I assumed he was an idiot. I don't think he is an idiot and he seems to realize that he just spends his time now making garbage.

Sailing

The weekend weather forecast was supposed to be rainy. We woke up to a slightly overcast Saturday morning and the promise of good winds on the Chesapeake. So we headed out with our sailboat owning friends, Klink and Deb, for lunch somewhere out in the Chesapeake Bay, good winds, and a full sail. Along with hanging out with the Klinks, sailing has become one of our favorite weekend activities. Ashlee also joined us. Her camera provided us several great pics from the afternoon.
