Jeff and girls left this morning. Mom and Dad made breakfast. I played Gears of War with Josh on Xbox Live. Adam played a little too.
My parents, along with Andra and Jackson, took Erin to RDU airport. I found the Duke game on Fox Sports Network a little while after it [...]

Saddam Hussein was hanged this morning. Apparently some of the people who were there were making some noise about Muqtada al Sadr. I saw a silent video clip that showed the noose being put around the former dictator’s neck. He looked tired, but ultimately dignified. It feels odd, knowing that he’s [...]
