- One thing that stood out at hockey game Sat: pervasive patriotic displays. Was there to watch hockey, not cheer the flag (multiple times). #
- Our performance assessment tool warns when I note my budget was "in the BLACK", refer to "SENIOR management" or the "LARGE group" I manage. #
- Wow. Day is not looking good so far for any #NaNoWriMo activity. Getting lots done, just none of it stuff I want to do. Ugh. #
- The AFA urges me to "vote my values." I plan on it. #

- The #NaNoWriMo site is, as usual at month-start, wobbling madly under the load. But I have words! 2,133 of 'em! Huzzah! #

So, from now on your budget will be “in the Negro,” you report to “elderly management,” and you manage an “obese group”? Shades of “Elderly Man River“!
Yup, pretty much. Silliness.
RE: patriotic displays.
Yeah, I was annoyed last season when I went to a game with Jackie at how silly it has become, and I was even more annoyed at the last Rockies game I went to where they’ve added “America the Beautiful” to the seveninth inning stretch. I sat for it with several people behind me getting upset about it.
But, it could be worse I guess. Some guy got tossed out of and arrested for doing the same thing at a Yankee’s game last year. yet another reason to hate the Yankee’s.
If I have to make repeated demonstrations of my patriotism, and face questions as to whether I am in fact patriotic if I decline, then I might as well just stay home and watch the game on TV.
