the sox beat the cubs for 2 so far this weekend. that means that i have to put a sox bumper sticker on my car for 3 weeks. now since i just added an obama sticker to my car, a first by the way, as i have never put a sticker on any car… ever… oh well. a bet is a bet.
just watched freedom writers. yet another movie that shows that good came come from anything. really, a good movie.
i am very proud of my wife’s decision to head for a teaching certificate. i believe that she is a little hard on herself, and i can tell you that going back to school isn’t that easy. it’s a whole new mind set. she had struggled a bit at first, as there are so many other things that she has in her day to day. but, i can also see that she is getting there. again. proud i am of her.
the pool is up. cold. but up.
tomorrow is sunday. weather permitted, a swim is in order. then more work in the office. then. maybe a glass of wine on the porch.
mystery is doing ok. he has to sleep in our room or he goes crazy in his cage. he seems to need the companionship. way better than me sleeping on the floor with my hand near his cage. much more comfortable. i’ll put up some more pictures. he’s really kind a cute. but i still say i needed to have another dog around here, like a need a 3rd eye in the middle of my forehead.
next week, we head to the lake. first time in over a month. i can’t wait. every weekend there has been stuff to do here. pool. still cleaning up from the flood. any number of things. having 3 days off will be a welcome relief. tired i am.
i so dislike the media. i have said it before, i like to listen to 780 wbbm for my news. i listen to cnn and fox to get riled up. they are shows, not news. its funny to listen to them and how they try to lead the people in interviews into their line of thinking. always panel members that head in their smart little directions stirring up trouble and the idea that they are smarter than we are. well i say to hell with that. lets just get on with it. look into the facts. decide for yourself. but make the decision. it has long been said that if you don’t vote, you should have no say. and i firmly believe that is right. we should have a voice. what’s past is past. our recent history is a horrible reflection of a few, not of the majority. we know that the united states is one of compassion and strength. we just need to get back to that. not everyone needs to be like us. in fact, now, fewer probably want to be. but we can change that, and now is the time. change is good. in fact, without it, houses would still be made of mud and grass, and we’d be grunting responses to each other. vote. for whomever you feel strongly about, but vote. me? obama all the way.
ttfn.
