We've been taking it pretty easy this week seeing the best parts of Japan and enjoying not having much to worry about. Yesterday was Osaka again and today we looked around Kyoto for the day. Kyoto was pretty incredible and Japan as Japan was. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next eleven days as we continue to unwind and unwind before we have to wind back up in the UK. We'll see what happens.

Sarah Palin is playing out like I thought. I give her a fifty-fifty chance of making it to the election. I love that they have to give her a week to get training for the media coverage.

I see Obama getting closer to ten points by election day.
