Progress

According to the rickety old scale in my bathroom, after 3 days of dieting today I weight 15 pounds less than I did on Monday morning. I have no idea how accurate the scale is but I assume its noteworthy that the number was 15 smaller than what it said on Monday morning. This dieting thing is a breeze.

On the political front, I was glad to hear the Obama Administration has officially named Bill Daley Chief of Staff to the President. Those on the left are unhappy because they think Mr. Daley is too business friendly and those on the right are unhappy because Mr. Daley comes from the Chicago machine. That means I think the pick is perfect. More and more, my bell weather is that the best Presidential decisions piss off both sides.

I'm also biased. The City of Chicago is the most organized, cleanest, best working big city I have ever spent time in. Thus, I am happy to have a member of the Daley family helping the President manage things in the Oval Office.

Meanwhile, I am very busy at work making the diet thing that much easier. I have a deposition this afternoon to prepare for so I am off.
