Today certainly has been better than yesterday, thanks mostly to a friend.
Thanks, Spruce.
Tomorrow will be even better. Not only am I getting my taxes done, I get to ref the Southwest Michigan High School Hockey League championship game between the Portage Central Mustangs and the Kalamazoo Blades. I am stoked!
So, all in all, not a bad day to be me.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -All week, Doug Wead has said the reason he secretly recorded some of his phone calls with President Bush was for history's sake.
But Wednesday, after a blast of criticism, Mr. Wead abruptly decided he had spoken too soon. "History can wait," he said, promising to turn over the tapes to Mr. Bush.
The disclosure that he had such tapes, recordings that spanned two years before the 2000 presidential election when he was an evangelical adviser to Mr. Bush, was published in The New York Times on Sunday.
Since then, Mr. Wead has appeared on several television news and talk shows to defend his actions, insisting several times that he had never sought to profit from the tapes and had decided to release some of them only after the president's re-election.

Is the seat next to Condi Rice vacant?
