Nickel and Dimed

I'm reading last year's Barbara Ehrenreich book (Nickel and Dimed) right now. About halfway done. Good stuff. Not, however, happy or very optimistic stuff. More to follow when I finish, but highly recommended.

In the not very relevant story of my own life in the workforce, I think I've finally found a chair I can live with. At last, a keeper.

Everyone in the world is blogging about Kerry choosing Edwards as his running mate. I like Edwards okay although he's too conservative for me. He feels like another bright, articulate, Southern Democrat from the Bill Clinton mold. We'll see how this works out.

In the meantime, zzzzz.
