Ten on Tuesdays

1. I'm awful at blogging on the weekends. I don't even attempt to write. I was in Montauk with my friend Joel this weekend. I met his family and they were so much fun! We laughed a lot! Plus, the beach and the weather were absolutely gorgeous.

2. Sand angels are almost as fun to make as snow angels. I highly recommend them.

3. Montauk reminds me of Ireland. It's coastline is similar in many ways. Did I mention how gorgeous it was?

4. I learned from Meredith that it is unnecessary to press the space bar twice at the end of the sentence with a word processor. I couldn't figure out why the extra space was going away every time I published a post. I think it's a bit crazy that I never knew that before. I wonder how much time I've wasted by pushing that space bar an extra time over the last 10 years?

5. Tomorrow is the 4th of July. I love fireworks.

6. I'm going to see Evening tonight with some of my friends. I'll tell you all about it. I'm so excited to see such a stellar cast of women in one movie.

7. I'm thinking shish kebobs for the cook-out tomorrow.

8. GWB commuted Scooter Libby's sentence. He doesn't have to serve any jail time, but he still has to pay a $250,000 fine and he's on probation for two years. Didn't you learn anything from the Paris Hilton debacle, George? It sends the wrong message to young people that being famous or well connected can get you out of trouble or at least make it easier on you.

9. 9 of the 17 pardons GWB had granted as of August 2006 involved either weapons or drugs.

One of them involved a guy from Kent, Ohio (the location of my alma mater Kent State University).

10. I'm not endorsing a candidate yet (as if my endorsement is something everyone in the political sphere is waiting for with baited breath), but I'm really starting to like Bill Richardson. Check him out.
