That a pretty big Titan.

Chemenn and Lincoln trick-or-treating.

Loading up on candy.

Bonus Pre-Halloween Lincoln pics:

This is what Lincoln will look like when he gets hair. Assuming he gets hair...

Lincoln did not like wearing the wig.

It’s poll time again…

The real President Bush, Sarah Palin and Bill Clinton with a Jeff Chugg impersonator.

Just doing my part to bring you the latest in citizen journalism.  As most of you know, we live close to Belmont University, site of the second Presidential debate.  So, I went down and checked out some of the pre-debate festivities after work today.  Up above, you can see just some of the important political figures that I met.  I was going to go back and get some post-debate shots too…but it’s raining and I’m sleepy.

Thumbs up from the Prez.

This was before Tom Brokaw put everyone to sleep.

There were lots of people and signs.  But not a lot of convincing going on.

Not pictured: Undecided voters.

The Obama campaign bussed in hundreds of kids from the University of Tennessee to make it look like Tennesseans will vote for him.  But rest assured, we are a red state.

What's missing from this protest sign? Logic.

Protesters are not always the most rational people in the world.

Okaaaaay. Resisting commenced.

The nicest people at this thing. All of these people are vets.

These guys are the best.  We stopped and talked with them for a bit.  Check out their website and lend them your support.

The boys from Red State Update. Check them out.

These guys are pretty funny.  They have a website too.

Hmmm....

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people brought whatever-the-heck signs they had laying around.  Some of them were not the most germane to the event at hand.

Harold Ford, Jr. looking uncomfortable on the MSNBC set. Who wouldn't?

Lots of these in Tennessee.

Fitting...

So, leave us a comment and tell us who you think won the debate.

We’re pretty excited about Tuesday’s Presidential debate at Belmont University.  We were hoping to get some good pictures today, but they already have the area blocked off.  We’re expecting some snipers to be stationed on our roof on Tuesday night…

So...the media will cover this guy but not William Ayres?

That's a big sign.

Take that, liberal neighbors.

Starting Lincoln out young.

Here is a pretty straightforward analysis of what caused our current financial crisis.  It’s about 10 minutes long, but worth sticking with until the end.  It’ll give you a better understanding of how this mess got started.

UPDATE:  Original video yanked from YouTube – but it’s now back:

AND: another excellent video, this one is much shorter:

Here is what Chemenn would have looked like in the 50’s.

And here is what Chemenn would have looked like in the 70’s.

Classic.

Lincoln is growing up so fast.  He’s learned how to do a bunch of new stuff.  Sometimes we don’t realize how much he picks up on.  He’s a little camera shy and he won’t do any talking when we are taping.  That’s why he doesn’t tell us what sound the choo choo makes.

As I’m studying for the bar exam, I’ve been expecting some cards like these…

… and my favorite…

Only a little over a week to go.

Take that Apple.

 Yep, that’s Lincoln’s belly full of watermelon.

Speaking of watermelon, if you like it as much as we do, check out this recipie for grilled watermelon.  I made some tonight and it was very delicious.  Chemenn looked at me like I was crazy when I told her I was going to make grilled watermelon.  But what does she know about watermelon, she doesn’t even put salt on hers.  When she tried it, though, she admitted it was pretty darn good.  Showed her.
