August 24, 2011

Good news here, Ruger (our Black Lab pup) is finally getting over is bout with Parvo. I worked him with three tennis balls the other night for blind retrieving and he did spectacular. Time to get him back on the pheasant scent and tracking birds through brush. I'm pretty anxious to get him working some real birds this fall.

Playing Mr. Mom (or taxi cab driver) all week. Today is the last day of volleyball "two-a-days" for Tiffany ... nothing like an 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM practice to totally interfere with getting things done during the day. Seems like every time I get something started it's time to leave the house again. I've been taking Tessa to soccer practice too, so add that in as well. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ... 8:00 AM drop off Tiffany, 9:00 AM drop off Tessa, 10:00 AM Pick up Tiffany, 11:00 AM pick up Tessa, 3:00 PM drop off Tiffany. Down to single practices tomorrow ... can't wait.

It looks like the next couple of months could be fairly busy with constituent meetings, committee meetings and a possible Special Session. Back in July, it was reported the state is down to 6 to 8 weeks of cash left. That, coupled with what could be a terrible September revenue forecast, couple mean a very ugly fall in Washington.

Now is the time to start focusing on real job growth, real economic development and real fiscal sanity. I spoke to a builder yesterday who summed it up quite well. "Want economic development and job growth, get the government out of my way." Amen to that!
