The oldest non-scanned photograph I could find in either my Flickr account or on my computer. It was 2001 and I was not quite sixteen. It was the first time I’d seen the Pacific ocean. My dad let me drive the rental car for a few miles along Highway 1 even though I only had my learner’s permit and was not supposed to be driving a rental car.

All I can think about in hearing Palin’s super lame excuse for not running for re-election is George Bush in the Simpson’s “Two Bad Neighbors” writing in his memoir: “And, having achieved all my goals as president in one term, there was no need for a second”

I LOVE THAT EPISODE.

Okay, I love all the episodes. To me, The Simpsons is like my favorite fun uncle who, as he has gotten older, is clearly past his prime — he is kind of blotchy from all the gin, makes an off-color joke sometimes, and yells at the TV a lot — but I still remember him from when I was five and he’d buy me cotton candy at the fair and let me sit on his motorcycle.
