Bleah.. I have been working entirely too much lately. Between long days at work and working on some stuff for some of Rachel’s clients I’ve barely had time to think. I’ve squeezed in a few aikido classes here and there which have definitely helped keep me sane – though doesn’t help me catch up on sleep. Still, I obviously prefer the sanity and less rest to the alternative!

That said, the SaLR option got me thrown into a wall Sunday. Not completely, but my post throw roll ended with my feet slamming into it. I escaped with a severely bent big toenail on one foot with a little numbness on the bottom of the other. All in good fun.

Recounts… yes one is underway in Ohio. The Green Party and the Libertarians raised the cashola for it. Talk about strange partners. There were a lot of irregularties that surfaced in the week or so after the election: voter intimidation, crazy long lines, ballots mishandled, problems with the electronic voting machines (which weren’t used everywhere), and so on.

I’m skeptical that the outcome is going to change, but if it induces some change in how elections are run around here that would be nice.
