Saw a couple things this morning,

that made me think. One was an article on-line entitled, 'How To Cope With The Stresses of Retirement'. What? Am I doing something wrong? I don't feel any stress, at all....
In a related thought, I saw a segment on Charlie Rose this morning about Jane Fonda, who wrote, 'A Letter To My Younger Self'. She chronicled various events and learning experiences and finished it up with, 'people probably won't understand, but now, in my old age, I am the happiest I have ever been', Well, I understand, totally, and who wouldn't? As long as you have your health (knock on wood) why WOULDN'T you be happy? I think the reasons are self-evident, as it's a time to enjoy what you've worked for your entire life, without the stress and responsibility. PLUS, realizing your time is limited, it's easier to enjoy every day. If you don't, why not?
OR, you could listen to FOX/PARP, who preaches how TERRIBLE things are, and you better hide out cuz a terrorist is gonna kill you. Life is all about choices...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
