Picture of my office... looking out. It is a nice size office with 2 large desks, 3 book shelves, 6 chairs (one for me, one for my stuff, and the rest for students). I can't complain! It could be more homey, with a nice rug, more pictures on the walls, etc.
The Philadelphia Phillies have made it all the way into the World Series. The city is buzzing with excitement. The Series will begin tomorrow (Oct. 22nd) in Tampa Bay, Florida. They will play 2 games there before moving to Philadelphia for 3 more games. The first team to win 4 games will win the Championship. If necessary, they will play 2 more games in FL. If it weren't for the Presidential elections in exactly two weeks, there would be tons more ado about it.
Speaking of the elections, I think the entire country is sick of all the campaign, candidates vying for votes on TV, radio, every media possible. Since Pennsylvania is a swing state (it could go to either McCain or Obama), both have been campaigning around the Philadelphia region. We've seen an avalanche of advertisements trying to convice the people how good or how horrible one candidate is over the other. I've already made up my mind.
