The morning always has a way of creeping up on me and peeking in my bedroom windows. The sunrise is such a pervert. – Jarod Kintz
Don’t forget tonight is Peach Pundit Road Show at the Movies! And tomorrow night is Bi-Partisan Date Night.
Bridget Prediction: More and more people are finally seeing the value of technical skills. Being able to DO something versus think about or manage or strategize. I’d be interested to see stats of increased enrollment at technical schools this year. Someone link me if you see numbers.

Updated by Charlie: I’m going to add in here a Happy Birthday to Martha Zoller. Clearly she didn’t get what she wanted out of Tuesday’s vote, but she continues with a good political future ahead of her, whether that’s in media or elected office. She remains in a position to make a difference for the causes she holds dear. I look forward to seeing what’s next for her.
