A great morning to shove off

Leave a comment

Don’t you just love it when you wake, you feel good, you know you have a little free time ahead of you and the small stuff that has been dragging you down during the week is shed like a coat? I probably could have stopped at the “you feel good” part because health is the start to any good or bad day. So let’s get to this.

Actually my good start was last night watching the Terps victory with one of my best friends. We celebrated the birth of their first grandchild and caught up with what seemed to be a great absence from each other. They have been blessed with a beautiful and healthy grandchild. When you see a young baby there are few things more innocent and loving in the world. It strips life down to the basics.

Time to shove off on another weekend.

A good afternoon is ahead, I can feel it in my bones.


Random Thoughts of the Day

Funny how you take things like breathing for granted.

Interesting game of chicken going on. Too bad we are playing with people’s lives. Like children, with the CHIP program. That should disgust all of us. For children should never be a bargaining chip.

After the roof collapse at Merriweather Post having lawn seats doesn’t sound to bad.

Lets hope in this mess that some leaders arise. I thought Linsey Graham had lost it recently but he is the only one talking that seems to hit at comprise and the knowledge of what it takes to get it done in the last day or two.

The only thing good about a government shutdown is less traffic to fight.

I’m going to balance out the remainder of my day avoiding politics and enjoying people and life. Who knows, maybe I’ll carry that people and life part through the weekend and beyond.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
