I still love the Sopranos.
According to the Times, NYC mayor Bloomberg wanted to march in the Columbus Day parade with two actors from The Sopranos, Uncle Junior and Tony’s psychiatrist. The sponsors of the parade said no, and filed suit against the mayor (only in NY). The mayor withdrew, instead he’s going to have a nice Italian dinner with the two in the Bronx. [Scripting News]

“I have one life to live and one chance to make it count for something… I’m free to choose what that something is, and the something I’ve chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands – this is not optional – my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” –Jimmy Carter
Does it exist anymore?
I realize that the Supremes passed on hearing this case, but I strongly disagree with the decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court… Doesn’t the statute matter?
Does election law matter any longer?. Yesterday the New Jersey Supreme Court decided that a deadline for candidate change and selection in the states election law must be set aside to preserve the concept of a two party system. Essentially the New Jersey Supreme court has allowed the NJ Democratic Party to substitute Frank Lautenberg as the party’s candidate to replace Robert Torricelli on the ballot for one of NJ’s seats in the US Senate well after the statutory deadline has passed.

I just spoke to Borders: the 400 stores announced is the entire chain. They have nearly that many now, with over 400 planned to be open by Christmas. The rollout should be done by mid-2003 with a formal announcement at that point, even though service will be available (starting in California) in the meantime. [80211b News]
Slow blogging lately – been out of town or on unannounced visits with my boss for several days, or been dealing with major projects.. I’ll try to get caught up tonight…
I watched Part 1 of Ken Burns’ PBS documentary on, Frank Lloyd Wright, last night. He was a person who walked his own path and saw things in his own view. He endured hardships, yet persevered and was successful. I’ll never be as famous as he but, I see a lot of me in his character as presented. Part 2 of the documentary is tonight. [Donald W.
