Eligible

As of today, I am constitutionally qualified to serve as President of the United States. In case there are a lot of hunting accidents.

I will celebrate by trying to finish a paper for the APA Eastern's obnoxiously early deadline.

UPDATE: And, it turns out, by going out for some BBQ and beer. If I wind up trying to submit the paper after that (but before midnight Eastern!), things my get interesting. You can't read the BBQ stains on the new web submissions, but the beer may be legible.

Coincidentally, I just got in the mail my mom's book and the STEELERS WORLD CHAMPIONS issue of Sports Illustrated. Awesome!

You seem to share a birthday with that plate tectonics dude.

I suspect that you have another URL in mind for that second link.

Sadly, no.

Now I'm just confused.

maybe you should run for governor first. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

The link has foremost to do with a dude, not tectonics. I made an error of emphasis.

Aw, Matt, thank you! Shameless self-promotion: the book, "Escape Velocity," can be ordered from Amazon.com and Bn.com. And I have ample copies in stock.

i'm still getting a million e-mails about the moral superiority and admiral character of steelers fans, history of the terrible towel, and jokes about peyton manning meeting god, who is a steeler fan. yesterday i was feeling somewhat un-dude, and then i thought to myself, "the steelers are world champions" and felt much better.
