I cannot believe that I was the only one watching Senator Ted Kennedy today as he endorsed Barrack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination who was thinking of the irony in what Kennedy had to say. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the words Kennedy was professing that I had a stomach… Continue reading Kennedy Endorses Obama
This week is a political junkie overload. Beware! It all actually started Saturday and will run for ten days. It is almost too much for me to even think about as it will be big when it all ends in the wee morning hours of February 6th on the east coast. Saturday was the South… Continue reading Political Junkies Take Heed
Lori Roberts lives in Las Vegas. She works at an arts and crafts store – Michael’s – and has convinced them to supply the raw materials to make Valentines to send to our troops in harms way.

I have been patiently awaiting the mail delivery of my book and have had a friend tell me the basic concept. Unfortunately, one of the promises I… Continue reading Creative Self
So today’s run was more like a short run and an extended walk, then another short run, then a stop for some pics, then run, then walk, then stop. My run to the hermitage and back – approximately 2.4 miles – took 44 minutes. That is record slow time. To make up for the record… Continue reading Run on a Clear, Sunny Sunday Morning
Well, well, two weeks into the new year and two road trips have come and gone. As noted previously, my 20 year old daughter attends Niagara University. Her twin brother attends the State University at Buffalo. He had to be back to school before her dorm opens for the new semester. She and I decided… Continue reading Road Trip #2 for 2008
