Winter itch

Dear bullpen blogspot ( a relative to dear diary):
Thanks to one of my Missouri relatives for today's subject. Winter itch. It's one of those age related illnesses that you don't find in all the medical journals. I have the itch for spring to be sprung upon us. I have the itch for a 30 hour work week and to have the day after thanksgiving declared a national holiday, at least a state holiday. Thank god for those Mormon pioneers, we have another holiday and a heritage to be proud of and something to look up to and to put our easy livin' in perspective.Other people itch for other things. Some for money and fame, some for a second chance, some for happiness and contentment. I'm content with life at this point in time, but I will be glad when the political stuff is all behind us for a year or so. Oh ya, I do itch for more time to spend with the wife and grandkids. Come to think of it, winter itch may be a brain disease. The more we dwell on what we don't have, the more the itch bothers us! Mind over matter (and it really doesn't matter that much!)  I think true happiness is being content with less! Some would say that that makes me a simple minded man, I think I'm just a simple man, so the rest of ya'all can think what ya want!!!!!!

Back-up retirement plan

Here's the back-up plan to plan A for my retirement. Hopefully the investment in all that learnin' will pay off for pops in the future. If not I hope to live long enough to spend there inheritance!

Retirement Plan

Here's my new retirement plan. #1 grandson likes Johnny Cash and he does a really hot kareoke version of Walk the Line and Ring of Fire. I'm prayin' that he develops this talent and will take care of gramps when his ship comes in! #2 grandson is his #1 supporter and a pretty good dancer. could be a big act in the future..

Runnin' for somethin'

After watching last nights primary election in New Hampshire I feel kind of like Will Rogers when he said we ought to "Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for." The political scene really is a dis-heartening part of American government. The fall of the ancient Roman Empire was blamed on "the senate". We have a house and a senate, where does that leave us? I feel that it is way to early for any trends to be determined, but the media's way seems always to be to try and shape the outcome of the process. (whatever the process may be) Hillary isn't a very good actor, so I hope she drops the teary eye stuff! I wonder if John McCain and popeye are related. Have you ever compared a side by side photo of the 2. Very interesting. Put a little hat on McCain and ......Don't get me wrong, I haven't decided who I will vote for because so far we dont really know what anybody stands for. Mitt Romney has come the closest to setting out any kind of platform. Everybody else seems to be content to attack him. Oh well, i guess even bad publicity is publicity! I think I'll just cast my vote for number 2 grandson seen here on the beaches of Mexico about 2 eeks ago. He's runnin' for somethin'.....And doin' a mighty fine job of it! Austin, Austin, Austin.......

Gettin' off on the right foot.

A thought from a gentleman that I truly admire-Ben Franklin:
"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man."
Fix what needs fixin', make peace where necessary and do whatever it takes to be a better man in the coming year!
