It just occured to me while watching the media frenzy on the tube that Scott Peterson killed his son at a stage where "viability" was beyond debatable, it was inevitible. Forget the fact that he did what he did to her... he did what he did to them. Please spare trying to convince me that he hasn't earned a needle.

All in all, a pretty grim week for thugs, monsters and terrorists. Scott's getting fitted for a bumpy ride, Yasser is taking a much deserved dirt nap, and the mujahadeen are getting stacked like cord wood in Fallujah. Oh, and my candidate has crested the 60 million nationwide vote mark. Dubya's career will be marked by the fact that his harshest critics and sworn ideological enemies did most indeed misunderestimate him. Four more years, baby... four more years.

If there was ever a time to purchase anything real estate-related in Southwest Volusia County, it's now. The appreciation in real property in and around the DeLand/Lake Helen corridor has been borderline laughable. A spot of intense interest is a luxury townhome community across from the DeLand Country Club which is being presold as we speak. A no-brainer, in my humble opinion.

The boy is growing so fast, and becoming so engaged, that it's starting to intimidate me. Laura is fine with it, but sometimes I look at Ryan and think "Good grief! That child looks to ME for guidance." Whew, too much to think about at this hour.

More to follow... now, I really mean that!
