Sorry for my absence but boy what a week it was! The end to the nastiest election I have seen in my lifetime. We had a few days to bask in the victory of President Elect Obama, and watch the fallout from the GOP. I was surprised that Sarah Palin’s plane hadn’t even hit cruising [...]
Seems I haven’t done much blogging lately due to road trips. But then again isn’t that what summers are all about? My trip to Ohio was wonderful, I got to spend time with my Father, Brother and S-I-L and of course my best friend Mary Jane. I even managed to squeeze in a visit with [...]

Plus I wasn’t seated anywhere near the bathroom, double bonus for that one On the way back there was an elderly gentleman in front of me going through security. [...]
Just a quick post to let you know I’ll be gone for the rest of the week. Leaving tomorrow morning for NC. Baby Cora will be 4 weeks old and it’s been 3 since I’ve last seen her. I can’t wait to see how much she has changed in 3 weeks! The only downside to [...]
