I’ve just been approached by Ryan Yocum of the Ohio News Network<\/em>. \u00a0 He’s an “average Joe” in Columbus \u00a0who does a show about “average Joes” and sports. \u00a0 He’s coming to Cleveland to film me playing pick-up basketball with some of the youth at the Rec. Center up the street. \u00a0 I’m going to tell him to have his camera man bring the telephoto lens so he can get me ‘skying’ like, oh, \u00a0LeBron James. \u00a0 \u00a0 (My wife \u00a0Liz recommended I not do that.)… To stay with the sport’s theme: \u00a0 While campaigning in Ohio for Election 2004, in one of my lighter moments, I actually told CBS News<\/em> in Columbus that when we get to D.C. I was going to have \u00a0“…a big buckeye put on the top of the Capitol Dome.” \u00a0 And we still lost Ohio. \u00a0 \u00a0Go figure. \u00a0 Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 The New York Times<\/em> carried a piece today about “wave farms” being proposed for the Pacific to harness clean renewable energy. \u00a0 \u00a0One application would be to place a field of buoys with turbines turned by waves \u00a0about three miles off shore. \u00a0 Experts predict, ultimately, that wave action could provide up to 10% of American energy needs. \u00a0 And even more percentage wise: If we started cutting back dramatically on our energy use!<\/em> \u00a0 (During Campaign 2004, we traveled to Old Orchard Beach, Maine, where a similar wave action pilot project was underway in the Atlantic.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
