Had an interesting conversation today with a guy who's running the healthcare business in my most recent alma mater. Seems like a straight shooter. I sure hope so; that company needs lots of honesty. One of these days I may want to go back there.

Watching PBS right now, and seeing the unveiling of the President's "Homeland Security" plans. While it's obvious we need some constructive responses to terrorists, the whole thing seems a bit creepy. To start with, couldn't we come up with a title that doesn't immediately remind one of WWII Germany and jackbooted thugs? How about "National Defense"? Probably some PR genius in DC decided that we can't confuse the title with that of the DoD. It feels odd to be a staunch Republican and yet be uneasy at this obvious tilting of power to the right and center.

Got a chance to play a really nice course yesterday in a charity benefit tournament. The Yorba Linda Country Club was a classic, old-style southern CA course. Mature trees, great greens, and a well-run tournament. Charity was the OC Ronald McDonald House.
