I’m not sure if I want to say life is back to normal. Because normal changed with the break in. But with each day, it feels like the pieces are fitting into place to create a new ????something. The boys are in camp. J is excited about picking up clovers and pine cones and connecting with “Fiver” the rabbit. Ry is playing a different sport each day. Next week he will play “hillbilly” beanbag toss. And they are both swimming. My mother has returned from the hospital and appears to be recovering nicely. The sod I laid earlier in the summer has benefited from the rain and looks great. We now have a steel door where the wooden one used to be. My wife is planting some new trees in front of the house. And a few minutes ago, the guy in front of me was given a grande coffee at Starbucks when he ordered an ice coffee. So when I ordered my usual tall coffee, I was offered his grande instead. It feels like the start of something good.

- Repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” could be a mixed blessing October 13, 2009I’ve heard people privately express annoyance that the LGBT community is pushing Obama to follow through on his promise of eliminating “don’t ask don’t tell. I guess the frustration is that many people think the President has more important issues to confront like healthcare, the economy, and war. It is easy to get swayed into [...]4wrdthnkndad
- Michael Moore’s Movie Blames All the Usual Suspects except……….. Us October 12, 2009I saw Michael Moore’s new movie, “Capitalism,a Love Story on Saturday.

Specifically, he outed Democrats as well as Republicans. Moreover he [...]4wrdthnkndad

- Anderson Cooper’s Trying to Create Trouble October 8, 2009I like Anderson Cooper. However I didn’t like his coverage of violence in Chicago. He seemed to be on a mission to create the impression that Chicago is nothing but a violent city. As Eric Holder said, this is not Chicago’s problem, this is an American problem. When you combine poverty, low income, poor housing and, [...]4wrdthnkndad
