Vacation coming up
We changed our vacation plans a little, and we will now be going to Vegas in the dead of winter, instead of going to Florida.
So we will be in Vegas between Dec 13 and Dec 19. JB and 9M will be there for some of that time. I wonder if there’s any chance anyone else I know will also be in vegas at that time. hmm.

Moral Values for the rest of us
Thanks to bhanfhlaith for the cool icons.
Moral Values
Would someone good at making icons and banners make some of these sentiments into pictures? I’m thinking it would be appropriate to have them on a red, white and blue background, looking a lot like “I Voted” stickers.
Honesty is a Moral Value
Love is a Moral Value
Hatred is Not a Moral Value
War is Not a Moral Value
we’re joining the United States of Canada
Hey, look! A new icon that says exactly how I feel today.
A picture is worth a thousand words. And guess what, it’s an easy solution for both the healthcare problem and getting cheap drugs from Canada.
Thanks to kethry for the artwork.

Get Out The Vote
Radio reports say that the race is still too close to call. But, while Kerry seems to have a slight lead among all registered voters, Bush currently has a slight lead among “likely” voters. That means that higher voter turnout will probably benefit Kerry.
Remind friends to vote, and remind them that they are allowed to take time off from work to do so. Offer rides if necessary. Walk around at work and remind your co-workers to vote.
go team!
