Blog Like Calvin

By | August 29, 2003

It’s amazing how much Calvin and I have in common, although he has a better haircut. UPDATE: I used to have a link here to a very amusing Calvin and Hobbes strip about Calvin starting a journal, albeit a paper one.

The 2003 Statewide Special Election Candidiate Status Report is now available. I signed for Garrett Gruener, who is a close friend of one of my neighbors, but is probably better known as the founder of AskJeeves.
