Sad State Of Affairs

Keep your guard up. I had another example proving that you can't trust anyone. It's sad but true. Oh well, just another reminder to always be skeptical.

The Wizard Of Oz

I went to my home town class play last weekend. As always it was fun. It is amazing how some of the kids are natural talents and really do a great job. Even the ones that aren't naturals have a way of adding a special touch to the presentation. It was obvious how hard some of them had worked to do the very best they could. Props done on a shoestring budget did their best to make you feel like you were in Oz. The girl that played Dorthy was very good and stole the show. It was an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday night and I'm glad I went.

Blast From The Past

I went to the local high school class play tonight. It was a blast from the past. It was enjoyable and also obvious the amount of work that the kids had put into it. Like usual there were the few kids that have an amazing amount of talent. Then there were the kids who were just as fun to watch because what they lacked in raw talent they made up for with humor and determination. The whole production was done on a shoestring budget but creativity made up for the lack of funds. It was a good time and a change of pace from the same old same old.

Dropping like a rock

Man, one loss can kill ya. Reds lost today and are 4-3. This moved them into a tie for third.

Go Reds!

2-1 and tied for first.

Back in action

I know it's been forever but I've been busy. I am back to work after back surgery and I am having trouble adjusting again. I will be more regular now with my posts. (hopefully) Oh, and I also am on Twitter now and I will figure out how to get my twitter feed on the blog. Later......

Long time no post

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I was trying to get well after back surgery and I started back to work two weeks ago. I started working half days at the recommendation of my surgeon. I have the the two weeks of half days and next week I will resume a regular work schedule. It will be tough. I am standing at work now because it is easier on the back but my legs are tired by the end of the day. I guess I will get used to it after awhile. I have also had time to study the political climate and I will have some things to say about that.

Superdelagates?

What the heck is this. I don't fully understand a Superdelegate but from what I have read, it's a bunch of crap. Even though a party leader may be better informed and may make a more educated decision, it's just not the way it works. Our system is our system and it sounds like the Superdelegate concept was devised and implemented at a time when party leaders felt that they needed to have more say in who the party nominee would be. The concept would allow certain party leaders to decide or override the decision of the people and influence the delegate votes. No way! Even though, unfortunately enough, the general public is not very well informed of the true person behind who they see on the TV. Even with that being said it is still the way our system works. Our responsibility then becomes trying to get as many people involved as we can. The solution is not to put the power of the decision in the hands of a few powerful people. Just my thought.

Super Tuesday

An exciting day in politics. It seems to be close on both sides of the partisan fence. It is still amazing to me that there is such a divide between the two parties but I have come to accept it. People are very attached to their ideals and not willing to give much. I found out just how much the other day when a friend called me after listening to Neal Boortz on the radio. Knowing that I listen to him regularly, the friend started by asking if I listen to Neal Boortz. After admitting that I did I was read the riot act about something that he said. We proceeded to get into a huge argument about things in general. It ended on a very bad note and we haven't discussed it since.

I know that you are not supposed to talk about politics with friends. It's a dangerous proposition. What a shame though because without discussion nothing will ever get resolved. The politicians are not much better than the average Joe when it comes to constructively discussing political topics. So things move slowly along with no real progress. I guess it's the nature of the beast.

A Super Super Bowl

The Super Bowl this year was awesome. I didn't really care who won but it was fun to see the underdog do so well and even win the game. This had to be one of the closest Super Bowls in history. It went down to the end and the last drive was unbelievable. I'm glad that I was able to see it.
