 Dang! My trainer really worked my ass today. It wasn’t until this evening that I could go up and down our stairs without wanting to call it quits……..lol
I spent the today playing catch up on all the things I neglected while trying to figure out where I screwed up on my accounting. I also was able to attack my part of the office, so it is not as cluttered.
So tomorrow I will get all the business accounts updated and our own and take care of some bills.
We did order a printer just for photos and it got delivered today. We have been wanting one for a few years. Now I can print out really good photo quality pictures…..I’m excited about it. =) Printed out a great print of Reggie outside. Now I just need to find a frame for it.
I actually remember some of the things that I wanted to post about tonight…that doesn’t always happens……..grin  Of course, it is political in nature.
McCain adviser resigns, doesn’t want to work against Obama
Mark McKinnon says he’s staying true to a vow he made months ago not to campaign against Obama. At the time, McKinnon said the election of Obama “would send a great message to the country and the world.†Although McKinnon says he disagrees with Obama on issues like Iraq and he thinks McCain would make the best president, he still doesn’t want to work against the likely Democratic nominee.
**Now this is unheard of, someone actually doing what they feel is best for the country, not their party and honoring his word. This is so rare in the political scene and it is so refreshing that there are people like him still around.
Commentary: Make wearing a flag pin the 28th AmendmentÂ
Let me tell you something: When I’m on the golf course and I slip my wedding ring into my golf bag, the Rev. Jacquie Hood Martin is still my wife. When we shoot hoops and I remove my Texas A&M University ring from my right hand, I still love my school. The fact that I can no longer wear my 1987 class ring from Houston’s Jack Yates High School doesn’t mean I don’t cherish the crimson and gold. And I may not be able to fit into the shirt I pledged in, but I will be a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. until the day I die.
I am an unapologetic Christian, but you won’t see a cross dangling from my neck or a James Avery charm bracelet on my wrist. Why? Because my love of Jesus Christ is in my heart.
This debate is useless, tiresome and distracting. Why? Because if there are members of Congress who wear a flag lapel pin but refuse to shore up our borders, don’t do enough to stop the flow of drugs into our neighborhoods, or don’t help to eradicate the gaps between the haves and have nots, then are they truly fighting for the concerns of Americans, or playing on the emotions of people by what’s on their lapel?
**After all these years of dealing and hearing from extreme right-winger who don’t practice what they preach and distorts the issues , he reminds me that not all conservatives have brought in the nut job messages that the GOP has been using over the last 16yrs. He is dead one concerning this mindless issue.
Federal Court Rules Against Military Gays Policy
The military cannot automatically discharge people because they’re gay, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday in the case of a decorated flight nurse who sued the Air Force over her dismissal.
**WOW! It is about time that the court system has put the burden of proof on the military concerning this. I want to hope, but don’t want to hope too much that this may be the being of the end of that policy.
Sen. Kennedy doing ‘Remarkably’ Well, is Released From Hospital
America is all too familiar with Kennedy family heartache, from the assassinations of Ted’s brothers President Kennedy and Sen. Robert Kennedy, to the plane crash that killed President Kennedy’s son, John Jr. Now the Kennedys — and especially their patriarch for 40 years — face even more misfortune.
“It is unbelievable to go through life, dealing with everything he had to deal with, and then to have something like this happen,” said Frank Pezzanno, owner of Boston’s Ristorante Saraceno, where Kennedy and his wife, Vicki, are frequent customers.
**Now don’t get me wrong, we are sadden by the news of him having brain cancer. It is horrible. And it is at the time that maybe he can do the most good and helping to get this country back on track after we elect a Democratic President. But he is in his late 70s, unlike his brothers and nephew and he has had a full life, it is not like he is 40-50. It is tragic for anyone, no matter what the age, but it should not be framed in the overall “Kennedy” curse.
