Here in the great red state of Georgia, I've noticed a plethora of signs spurring me to vote for Josh Somethingornother for some political position or something. What immediately struck me is how much i consider Josh a kid's name. Seriously, my immediate thought was that I don't think I know any 'Joshes' older than twenty eight.
When i hear the name josh I reactively think high school or college kid. Or a character on one of the WB shows that are more music than dialogue...which would be all the WB shows I guess.
All this is to say that I will not be voting for Josh. No my vote isu not being driven by his name or republican affiliation. Speaking of which, I would love to see a candidate rock propaganda without mentioning their political clan. Think about how potentially effective that would be for a candidate. Imagine the public learning about a candidate because they had no party generalizations to fall back on. I understand it is iabout as likely as seeing a black person on ' When Animals Attack' but it is still a powerful ideal.
By the way, Josh is not getting my vote precisely for the reasons I previously said were not influential in my decision.

My Main Man
Standing in line at Costco today, I picked Devin up and to my surprise he said "Daddy you're my main man!" Now I know I've said it to him before but I am still amazed at the stuff he picks up on. For that matter the stuff both of them pick up on is slightly crazy.
Talia is turning out be much better at follow directions than Devin was at that age....or is at this age really. She may note be able to engage us in a serious conversation yet but she can generally pick up what we're putting down. On the flip sidestep, Natalia appears be going through that same transition that Devin went through in that she went from a baby that would eat anything to being sporadic eater at best.
With all that said, I have some pretty awesome kids.
