Written by If anyone thinks my blogs are a little too candid, personal, or silly, I would like you to know that I am in pretty good company.
Today, I discovered that the Deputy Administrator of the EPA has his own blog, and I have to say my impression of that agency rose after reading it. I like the director’s view on life, and the human qualities he brings to the job.
This Blog in particular amused me, as he recognized the fun that the Simpson’s movie poked at his agency (after you read the Simpson’s blog scroll up and down to see his others):
Doh! EPA is teased by the new Simpsons Movie! Click Here!
Okay…lately I’ve been extra-critical and sometimes even a little cranky as a result of the forthcoming extremely-important election (and all the accompanying political hijinks); but I’ve been able to keep my sense of humor too, which is the coping mechanism I learned growing up in a busy, busy household with lots of other kids..
Meanwhile, In spite of my teasing and quips, I’m taking my work on your behalf very seriously, as I always do. I try to keep my perspective, and help others to do the same.
There was a tragic reminder on the Associated Press today about how much emotion can enter into a city council chambers:

To end on an upbeat note, I got a nice mention in a Mercer Islanders blog. Richard Sprague keeps an online journal which I ran across while google searching for Mercer Island reaction to the Renton Airport Issues.
He writes about me as City Council Blogger (click here). Thanks for your kind comments Richard! The positive feedback really makes it worth it.
That would be cool if more council members kept blogs.
