I’ve done 8. A long ways to go…
In the August issue of Esquire Magazine, Tom Chiarella chronicles the list of 75 Things Every Man Should Do. It’s a great list, as great writing is almost always synonymous with perusing Esquire.
Here are a few of the highlights:
No. 1 – Play rugby. – A [...]

A few media outlets are reporting on Colbert Report’s August 5th Show, in which he continues his string of Canton bashing. First Georgia, then Kansas, now on to South Dakota. It’s pretty good.
Yesterday, as we were hearing resolutions proposed ranging from health care to education, one stood out: The resolution asking for “Low-Cost laptops” to be made available to elementary students. The presenter from Illinois, Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn, then passed around a laptop demo model: the XO Laptop, made by MIT, famously being utilized by the [...]
I just paid a one time fee equivalent to $300 a month for internet access. And it’s not even wireless! I decided that all the time I had to stay completely disconnected was worth the $10 per 24 hours. Crazy, isn’t it?
Buffalo is pretty cool, as this is my first true post speaking about the [...]
I had wished to do a fair amount of blogging while in Buffalo, but I have yet to find a wifi connection cheaper than $10.00. So, here I am…blogging from the eyesight killing inconvenience of my BlackBerry. I love the device, mind you, but some things just weren’t meant to be done on this [...]

My time in D.C has been great. I’ve gotten to listen to all (until Saturday) Presidential candidates, I’ve heard from all 4 congressional leaders, and I’ve heard from the Israeli Prime Minister, among others. I was able to meet with both senators from my home district. I have about 10-12 shiny new [...]
Wednesday is a bit wet. I was meeting with Senator Thune when the Capitol police came over the PA to say that there were tornadoes spotted in D.C. I hadn’t heard of a D.C. tornado before. Pretty crazy stuff.
Lobbying was fun, and I took some more pics for everyone to peruse if [...]
So here’s a D.C. Tuesday. So far we’ve heard from John McCain, Condoleezza Rice, many Congressional leaders including the Senate Minority Leader. It’s a pretty crazy group.
When I got here, my trip to the hotel was L O N [...]
I am waiting in the Sioux Falls airport for my flight to Washington, DC. I will be posting periodic updates here as the trip progresses, so keep an eye out for random nonsense from me.
Right now, my flight was delayed one hour due to crew rest. I wish I could delay my own [...]
