One of the great things about living in Arizona is the fact we never touch our clocks. I remember back in Massachusetts dreading this day, because it meant driving home from work in the dark and the growing sense that the year and the seasons were closing in on you. Tracey really hated this time of year. Now in Arizona, you keep the warm temps and the change to “winter” is not nearly so drastic. Much nicer, in my opinion.

News item: Stevie Wonder performs a get-out-the-vote effort for President Obama, only 200 people show up. If that’s how the Obama campaign’s coordinated efforts work going down to the wire in Ohio, he’s in more trouble than anyone thinks. Me? I would have gone just to see Stevie perform! It’s unfortunate that talented genuises like Wonder are now dinosaurs; he goes back to the days before black music became “ghettoized” and for morons.

And speaking of President Obama, seems that “Hope And Change” has turned into a call for revenge. I don’t know exactly what the President was calling revenge for, but that, my friends, is not the message of winning campaign confident in what’s coming Tuesday. How small, petty, and petulant this President has become.

Congrats to Rory McIlroy hitting the big payday with Nike Golf. A lot bigger than my recent deal with Callaway, for sure, but I bet he now has to wear a Nike cap. At least I get to keep my orange Hampton Beach cap with the scaley fish logo!

Sad to see the old 103.3 WCRB Classical Radio Boston bought out by WGBH and moved down to 99.5 and rebranded as “Classical Radio New England”. I know the old owner of ‘CRB loved his station and the positive impact it made on Boston’s classical music community. After his death, his family seems to have put it up for sale, which I thought was something the old man had dictated in his will not happen. At least there’s still classical music in Boston to be found, but one would expect more than a single outlet for classical in that neck of the woods.

The flack and dust-up over the New York City marathon tells you everything that’s wrong with liberal activist politicians. This is the same mayor, BTW, that called it “in the public interest” to outlaw 32 oz. sodas. What a clown.

Of all the political analysts out there, there is none I trust more than the Washington Examiner’s Michael Barone. He knows how to read the electorate better than anyone else, and he’s an absolute sage when it comes to reading and interpreting Congressional districts. His prediction: a Romney landslide.
