American presidency

polsc. 605- is now done. I took the exam and we will see, but at least I know I wrote what I consider 7 excellent pages on the issues of how the founders wanted the President elected and how the presidency has changed since the time of George Washington. No more ideas about amendments, informal powers or literal/active presidents need stay in my head!

The Library

For Love of Books 2

Alright- so we don't exactly sell books here which would be great, but we do help people enjoy themselves! And I can only think of one job I enjoyed as much- which of course(bien sur) was at Whitmoor Country Club! But I am learning a lot about liquers, wines, beer, and how bizarre and fun many of my co-workers are!! The Library sure has made this summer much improved:)

Jared and I across from Catherine! After this photo a security man came over and informed us that we weren't allowed to have cameras in the facility- and might I had he was rather grouchy. One should at least try to enjoy their career! Oh well- we just walked around and watched Brazil play Australia in the Soccer World Cup!
Good news- Saturday- USA tied Italy. So if we do really well against Ghana, we have a chance of continuing on to the next round! We'll see:)

This is Catherine when we were at Sac and Fox Casino, and she didn't realize I had already taken the photo, cause we were still talking!

I hope everyone realizes the importance of June 9th. The beginning of the 2006 Soccer World Cup in Germany. The first game was Germany vs. Costa Rica. Germany scored in the 5th minute!
In four years the cup will be in South Africa, and I plan on going to it!!!

Golf courses as far as the eye can see.

so I was searching for photos online of Skopelos Island, in north-eastern greece, and i came upon this photo. I think the hike up that hill would be worth the view. Although, the atmosphere would be intense on a stormy evening.
