being grown up about it all

Did the gym thing last night. I usually do Tuesdays and Thursdays, and bike weekends, but Tuesday night we had something going on at home, and tonight I'm going to a function for the MS Bike ride, so I just figured, Wednesday was a better gym night.

Daymn, the place is crowded on Wednesdays. I'm usually one of the only people in there Tuesday/Thursday night, but there was quite a crowd, and they were watching Fox News...on all the TVs. I'm more of an ESPN kinda guy, but I figured...whatever.

I've said before, I'm not a big Fox News fan. Bill O'Reilly was on and I find him more than a little obnoxious, but I wasn't there to watch TV. I was there to sweat. He was interviewing Dennis Miller, who makes a point of making sure everyone knows he's really smart and really funny. It all gets old. He did say something though, that surprised and inspired me. O'Reilly asked him if he'd be tough on the new President, and this isn't a direct quote, simply because I can't remember, but the context is right. He said:

I'm actually hopeful. After watching his acceptance speech, I'm pulling for him. We only get one President, and he's going to be it. I hope he's successful. For the sake of the country, I hope he's so successful that in four years, I can't wait to get to the polls and vote for him.

I'm with ya Dennis.
