It sure was a cold, dark day in the city yesterday. It's so much better today. I know a lot of people at work that think they're coming down with something. It's too early for people to come down with colds, right? I was so tired yesterday from driving all weekend. Again, it was worth it.

Yesterday, I was going to start eating better. Then my friend, Lee, bought me a doughnut and it was all down hill from there. I'll try again today. I did it once, I just need to find my discipline again. Having some food on your plate and just saying to yourself, I can't have that, that's not good. That's what I want to get back to. I heard ZooLander was a funny movie. I'm going to try and see it this weekend.

The first Terminator comes out today on DVD. That was a great movie. Show me a great story and I'll show you a great movie. When I was driving this weekend, I couldn't help to notice that the leaves are in stage one of changing color. It was very lovely. I was at a rest stop, I just took care of some business and I was sitting in my car finding the right CD to get me on my way.

There was a man walking to a bench to sit down and have a snack. I thought to myself, this guy has the right idea -- just stop and smell the roses. Then he yelled over to the woman in his car, "Hey, these peaches aren't ripe!" It was pretty funny. I noticed something else: Every so often on the 400 + mile journey, the state had those orange message boards, you know, the kind that warn you of construction. They were set up everywhere on route 80, for 400 miles. They read "Proud to be an American" or "God Bless the USA." It was pretty cool. I went to Ohio, in part, to get away from thinking about it 24 hours a day but seeing that, you know that everybody's on the same page. It hit everyone, not just those in NY and DC. I can't wait until we strike. I'm not the kind of guy you'll ever see holding a "peace" sign. I want payback and I want it now. That's it!

God Bless America!
