Here's mine from "The Price of Loyalty-George W Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill"


"It just doesn't make sense," O'Neill agreed. A decade of dialolgue about the evidence of climate change and a responsible international response was shattered, along with the hard work to find a middle ground between economic progress and environmental good sense-a conversation that had been progressing with sound results since nixon created EPA. "We just gave away the environment," O'Neill told Whitman. "For no good reason."

Very interesting Book. It gives great incite into how a president sets an agenda.

Quirkiness X 6 = Well, Me I Guess

Ok! I got tagged and I guess I need to come clean about some wierd things about me. (Thank You Mike!!)

Before I do....Here's the rules!!

Link to the person that tagged you
Post the rules on your blog
Share six non important bizaare things/quirks/habits about yourself
Tag six other people, link to their blogs and then let them know by posting a comment on their blog.

So here goes:


1) I am the worst person to sit down and watch a movie with.

I lose interest very quickly and end up leaving the room and/or finding something to keep me occupied until I get interested again.

2) I wish I had become a farmer.

3) I struggle to see the positive first in difficult situations.

I am getting better at this but......it is a work in progress.

4) I struggle to focus for long periods of time to the task at hand and because of this I often forget my keys on the way to my car.

I set my keys out in plain sight as I'm getting ready to go someplace and if someone moves them I will walk out to my car without them. (I also struggle with remembering to take my medications)

5) I love to fish! I will catch it, clean it, cook it. I will not eat it!

Do you know what fish do in the water??

6) I was a very good athlete in High School.
