Some this, that and the other.

Had lots of comments about my entry where I threw the entire weight of this "monster" web-site behind Barack Obama and I say thank you.
I believe that he is the right guy at the right time and that Tuesday will not only be historic in terms of a visible minority becoming President but it will also be historic in terms of voter turn out. Now if they can just assure us that all those votes will be counted that would be a good thing. FP wrote a nice piece about that very subject...have a look-see.

In other Hhdotcom news. I spent a bittersweet night with my ten-year old Friday. I went out with her as she and her buds begged for candy on a warm Halloween. Of course the 14 year old was no where to be found as she and her pals were at a party. My Daddy/Halloween time with her is officially over.
At any rate I was allowed to follow Spenny on her appointed rounds as long as I kept a respectful distance to give her the impression I didn't actually exist. I had time to contemplate parenting while my little girl ran from door to door. It seems Parenting by it's definition is basically planning for your own obsolescence. I was thinking that if my wife and I do a really good job eventually these kids won't need us at all! Which kind of sucks and not so much at the same time.

Finally I've had a weekend off from taping ManUp Canada , the bizarre, funny and strange guy- game show that will start to air in January on MenTV. This week we wrote and planned a whole new set of challenges for our next 4 shows. I enjoy this part of the process as well as the hosting because it's a chance to let our imaginations run wild in terms of what we could get the contestants to do. Sculpt hamburger, plunger race, Sumo love guru...these are actual bit we're considering. I bring this up because one of the other writers sent me a note after our meeting Friday that I think sums up the unique nature of what we're trying to do.
Here's the line-up as discussed for the next 4 episodes. If we can't get a bobcat, it will be replaced with Blow Fish Jungle Challenge (which will also mean switching Fish Race 2000 with Chip Shot Head so that we don't have two fish challenges in the same episode).
Who wouldn't love working on a show like that?
