Doing the Work of the World

I just couldn't resist posting this great photo sent to me by Grandpa Bill. Look closely at the patches below the United States flag. FYI, the black patch says 'Doing the Work Of', and the 3 country's flags are France, Germany, and Russia. It's great that these guys can have a sense of humor amidst such difficult circumstances.

Democratic Strategy Session

It's just Bill C. and Jim C. with Hillary conveniently out of sight (but within earshot). There, now all set for the denials: "I was never a party to any discussion.... blah blah blah".

Bill: Glad you could make it up for the weekend Jim. Want a beer?

Jim: Sure. Anytime.

Bill: Our buddys John and John need some HELP. I think you should just go over there and HELP them.

Jim: Hmm.. maybe. Wonder if it would be worth my while?

Bill: Sure, Sure, I bet you could rake in a few million just to get the pot stirring good.

Jim: A few mill sounds good to me. But do you really think those clowns have a chance?

Bill: Jim, Jim, you're missing the point. I want you to HELP them. You rake in a few mill now, then the REAL gravy train starts up again in 2008, Hillary style.

Jim: Well, NOW you're talkin' bud. I think I'll give them a surprise visit and offer my SERVICES.

Bill: Good. I like it when Hill is in a good mood. Want another beer?

Jim: Sure, pass it down

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home

It truly is great to be home again. AND it is truly great that my surgery went well. Only 4 small holes with band-aid type things on them. I had to stay a couple of days extra in the hospital due to my lungs not cooperating, but now I'm back. I sure hope I feel better with one less organ. One things for sure, the gall bladder may take up space, but it has no weight. The scale doesn't lie and it didn't change : - (.

Duped

John Kerry and John Edwards... what can I say? Just two unfortunate dupes that wound up on the Democratic ticket (cause they had to have somebody). Just a couple of place holders until the real force behind the Dem's (B & H Clinton) ascend back to the white house in 2008.

Katie's Visit

Katie and her children playing with Amanda's birds. We had a great visit with her family and hope they will come back soon!

Wedding Ring

It finally came off tonight. I've been trying to get it off for months and the Edema is so bad that tonight I had to go to the ER and get it cut off. My finger feels much better, but my once beautiful ring is quite a mess. O well, it's just a bit of gold. And like the old country song says, "Only LOVE can make a golden wedding ring". Thank God the LOVE part is still intact.

You're Fired

Today I fired my Pulmonologist. I switched to a new one, a doctor that is more available to attend to patient care. She was my doctor while I was hospitalized in May for Pneumonia and I really liked her. So even though my joints, edema, breathing, and everything else really stinks today, I feel a little better to have taken care of this. So There.
