Odds and ends

Work has been brutal the past few weeks and I can't remember the last day off I had. I actually got off work before 9pm tonight so figured I'd better post while I have a few minutes of free time.

There's been a lot going on lately that I've wanted to post on but I'll have to go with the short versions for now...

• The Angie Zapata murder trial started last week about 50 miles north of here. This one hits pretty close to home and I'll definitely be posting more about it when I have time.
• The governor of Texas is threatening to secede...I say we call his bluff.
• I recently bought a gun and applied for a concealed carry permit. I should have more to say on this one soon.
• Gay couples can't get married in San Francisco but can in Council Bluffs, Iowa. WTF?!?
• I had the best Beef Stroganoff *ever* last night at Red Square.

I think that's about it for now. I'm not sure when work is going to get sane again, but I'm hoping that happens by the end of this week. Until then, I'll probably be pretty light on posting anything new.
