It is important that you get out of your workplace for lunch today and take a walk. In this season of the year, you really have to take advantage of every opportunity to expose yourself to natural light and warmth. There are little molecules in your brain that want to be released so that they can keep you healthy and happy, but they need your help to do that. TAKE THE FIRST STEP! Also in the forecast, our Links page (linked at the top of this page) has undergone an overhaul. Our links are now hosted at Del.icio.us for easier linking. Enjoy this opportunity to spend some time at places on the internet where I like to go. Let me know if you have a Del.icio.us account because I think I can add you to my nerd network. I think that's how it works, anyway. Looking ahead for our long-term, precision Futurecast: Democrats will have a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives next year. Also, democrats have won hell of lots of governorships and might even take control of U.S. Senate. Locally, democrats have taken over Iowa and would like to talk to you about the minimum wage. Jim Leach (R), who has been a U.S. congressman representing my district in Iowa for about a zillion years, was deposed by Dave Loebsack (D). He will be missed by a lot of people, as he was a nice and generally moderate republican, but we're cleaning out the house and that means a lot of republicans have to go to make room. Jim Leach (R), thank you for putting up with the crackpot, form e-mails I've sent from advocacy websites about media regulation and stem-cells and whatnot. Be proud that you are going out in style, Mr. Leach: still well-regarded, well-liked, and free of scandal. On the satellite map, you'll see that a high-pressure system coming down from the Canadian prairies is causing a reduction in my wife's morning sickness. This is a good sign that she'll be able to continue with a healthy diet and grow a happy baby inside her.
