Bulls Defeat Raptors 77-64

I shot my first NBA game of the season tonight... I don't know if I was rusty or if it was the players. Then again the winning score was only 77 points.

Santorum, Up Close And Personal

I started off the day thinking that I might visit South Dakota for the first time as Santorum's schedule took me very close to that part of the world. Instead, I made another first. During an event in Sioux Falls I ended up so close to the presidential candidate that I had to turn my head not to breath on him as he waited for his introduction. It all started when I began moving through the over stuffed coffee shop as he began to work the room and it ended when we were stuck with no where left to go. Having a dozen cameras pointed on my was a big departure from the norm.
