The conventions are over. The Olympics are over. Maybe now I can go to bed at a decent hour, so I can get up and work! I have been so undisciplined over the last four weeks, distracted by if Michael Phelps was going to win, what Obama's speech was going to be like, the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. So have y'all been distracted too?

Uh-oh, just realized Dancing with the Stars starts soon. Oh, man. But at least the show ends before 10pm.

By the way, if you haven't seen my blog on the contest I'm running where you have a chance to win $50, then please check out my previous blog or website. If you're in the DFW area tomorrow, I'll be speaking at the Mystery Writers group. Hope you'll come!
