My former buddy and I used to talk


about 'rocking chair moments', and we had more than our share of them. Those fantastic times that you can only hope to remember, in the twilight of your life, as you sit in a rocking chair and try to recall the 'highlights' of the last 80 years....
That fantastic sunrise over the mountain range with the elk herd in the valley, the sunset over the pristine Canadian lake before the Northern Lights kicked in, with the echos over the bay..... or that perfect day on a ski slope with champagne powder, blue sky and tunes on the I-pod as you schuss through perfect snow.
The highlights that you HOPE to remember....
Well, I had one tonight.
Visited my perfect grandson, listening to good music, with some 12 yr-old McAllan and a THICK filet mignon, with my beautiful wife and daughter.
True rocking chair moment that I tried to deeply imprint in this old brain. Yup, will try to recall, along with those outrageous outdoor times, as I rock in my chair and wait for my evening meal, hoping to get my diaper changed soon....

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...
