just had a giant meal at Charlie’s folks house. Steak, corn and potatoe: ultimate iowa meal.
Charlies parents are awesome. Nice as can be, hilarious and armed with tons of preteen Charlie pics.

on the road out of CO, heading toward St. Paul. The Witr mobile behind us as we pass through the miles of greenery.
"Drill their brains", originally uploaded by eeilon.
Looks Pelosit continues to take grief for asking a group of college students (me) if she could “drill their brains”. No the smartest move eh?

Cool shot of Will in toga leaving the McCain war room. We were out on the streets highlighting the celebrity in chief’s cult like following.
I fell asleep sitting straight up on the couch watching analysis from last night on CNN. I didn’t realize how tired I was.
Woke up unprompted around 3 am when Will and Jeremy made it back to the house, and then one more time at 6:30 to my blackberry vibrating furiously.
Now I can’t sleep so [...]
Been out in Downtown Denver all day mocking Obama’s messiah complex and the rediculous temple errected in his honor.
Everyone is wearing togas and directing Dems to go and worship, pretty funny stuff.
Grabbing a bite to eat at a greek cafe in keeping with the theme and then heading back out for the pre-speech crowds.
Been working the DNC pretty hard in Denver this week. Got some great crazy liberal footage, and reminded some very distraught Denverites that McCain is still strong in the Mile High City.
Been out in the mix from 8 am both days and have gotten myself a wicked sun burn (photos to come).
Been a good time [...]
Esther is a magnet for unforseen airport problems. We were delayed 15 minutes at the checkin line because her reservation was MIA.
Good news: me and Wizzle Crizzle are kickin it old school in 10 E and D.
Additional Good news: Esther is in Row 15.
Quiet flight, here comes me.
In a cab on my way to DCA airport, better known as Reagan National. Our cabbie informed us that no one calls it Reagan, we had a chuckle on that.
Going to be a long trip with Esther and Will in tow, expect some excitement.
Bout to check in, us Air, my favorite.
In my kitchen there is a smell. A smell unlike any other that man has ever known.
After a thorough investigation into the trash, and the refrigerator I have identified several possible sources: a 2 week old raw chicken, an now all brown bowl of salad, and a tupperware of rice pilaf that has subleased [...]
A friend of mine, who has asked to remain nameless, never swears. Never.
Today he/she dropped the F bomb on a guy/girl that he/she was in a chaotic relationship with for an extended length of time. Second F bomb in 20 plus years (both directed at this individual): hilarious.
In his/her defense he/she was a total douche [...]
Up till 3 getting ready for today, now I’m clearly exhausted. Double Cappuchino should improve the situation dramatically.
Just handed out some CR gear, people are digging it. Joe Mansour is walking us through LITF.
Training is humming along, almost time for lunch. Charlie is at the mic talking about the playing field.
Twitter is down, bogus.
training kicked off, been in the office all weekend, with no AC. Office equivalent of a sauna.
Walking over to my buddies place for a game of hold em, then home. Early morning in the office tomorrow.

After mentioning that I was pumped about the movie I got a blank stare from lg, so i ordered a new copy to let her read and hopefully build some enthusiasm towards going to see it when it comes out. Awesome read, definitely worth picking up.

18,900 bottle openers
1500 cups
600 CR disks
72 CR vinyl banners

At dinner, originally uploaded by eeilon.
Out of the office by 730 for a bite with Will and Esther. Going to grab the check, an ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts for an ice coffee then back to the office to finish up some field rep training materials.
Going to preview a screener at lunch, looks like a pretty interesting piece.

LG and I had our one year anniversary this past weekend (hence my low post volume). We exchanged gifts, I got her a day at a the spa to help her de-stress before heading back up to school, and she–knowing me like the back of her hand–got me the perfect [...]
LG left for school today, she’s gone for a year. I am bummed. Amazing how big an impact someone can have on your life: both long term and day to day. We talked about how strange it is to go form seeing each other every single day to almost not at all, an unwelcome adjustment. [...]
