My sister sends me things periodically, usually articles and such that she subscribes to, and I got a huge kick out of today’s submissions – especially in light of the upcoming election season:
Part I: Remember the 2006 election when Democrats gained control of Congress?
Two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year [...]

Gearing Up for Summer

There is new stuff going on here in the Park. You’d be surprised how much stuff can happen when you’re not paying attention! Here goes:
1. Sunday school: I was asked to teach the junior high girls’ class this summer – this has turned into co-teaching the junior and senior high girls (which is actually better in [...]

I’m tired – really tired. I started a diet yesterday that involves meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch, with one meal replacement bar as a snack, and then a “sensible” dinner. (I fixed fried chicken last night that tasted good, but it got a little too done. I also had about 1/4 cup of [...]
The Wanderer Returns

I think I’m finally back home for a while. The Florida trip was good – not too long, not too short. My mom, dad, sister and I had a really great time. We stayed in my dad’s uncle’s condo in Winter Haven, Florida. While it looked a bit like a bad Holiday Inn, it was [...]

This from an MSN website link:
Where the Bugs Are: Your bed
The threat: More than 84 percent of beds in U.S. homes host dust mites. These microscopic critters live in your sheets and feed on your dead skin, and their fecal matter and corpses contribute to asthma and allergies.

It’s getting closer. I haven’t packed yet, although I did narrow down wardrobe issues, as in what to wear on Sunday. I am taking things along on the trip that will require me to check my bag, so I’m wondering about taking my nifty new weekender bag with the handle and the wheels, or to [...]
Peace In The Storm

A country song came to mind this morning:
I’m in a hurry to get things done
Oh, I rush and rush until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But, I’m in a hurry and don’t know why
It’s been popping in and out of my consciousness, partly because I like the group (“Alabama”) and [...]
Things to do When You’re Bored

I’ve decided that my new hobby for the next, well, couple of weeks, is going to be figuring out just what I can do with my digital camera. This is the camera that I bought for the trip to Hungary (using money my parents had given me over the last three years toward new ice [...]
What Dreams May Come

For some reason, I had the weirdest dreams last night. I dreamed that I had taken my dog, Tanner, out to play at a schoolyard that (for some reason) ended up being in a neighborhood in Detroit where I used to live and now wouldn’t drive in with my doors unlocked.
We were swimming in a [...]
