Feeling Frustrated
Hearing Oldies
The Great White Two!!
Where do I begin? What can I say? Why has it been so long?............As Gilda Radner used to say, so eloquently, "NEVER MIND"
I've lived in the Denver area for a total of 30+ years, and I've never seen so darn much snow!! (Thankfully, I can watch it and not have to shovel much of it) Does the phrase "Cabin Fever" ring a bell?
Basically, just wanted to let everyone know that we're alive & well, inspite of the weather. (Don't even mention the GOLF word!!)
Hope that everyone had a great Christmas, and that the New Year is good to you!
Can you believe, not one entry since the elections? No, I'm not mellowing out. Being a Realist, foremost, I'll do a little "wait & see" before I shoot my mouth off.
One thing that just sickens me, and I'm not being hateful, is the continuing loss of young lives in the Mid-East. Everyday, it seems, there is an article in the paper about a kid (18-25) who has "willingly" given his life for the support of this needless whatever you want to call it. All the stories are the same: "Tommy" always wanted to be a (fill in the space- Marine, Soldier, etc) so we know he was "doing what he LOVED?" He/She was a wonderful, happy, person, who loved everyone & everything, etc., etc., etc! (Do you think, maybe, that he kinda liked LIVING and being given the chance to grow up, raise a family, or whatever?) I just find it hard to believe, that Cindy Sheehan is the only parent out there that is seriously protesting and making noise! Have we all become gutless lambs that will follow "Mary" wherever "she" goes?
My apologies to any of you that may have lost a loved one, my intent is not to demean that loss in anyway. As a retired military man, they are all my "brothers/sisters," and I feel deeply for all.
Bet you couldn't wait to hear this, huh? Sorry, just had to share a deep concern.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the Holiday Season!!
Talk to ya next year, if not sooner. (Can't go anywhere!! LOL)

Rich, Glad you see that you have posted. Gosh, I bet you were very glad you were NOT stuck at the airport. My husband and I have made our annual trip to Arizona last week. Hit an icestorm in Amarillo and snow in New Mexico then a blinding snowstorm just east of Flagstaff and then fog and rain in Phoenix. MAN, what a trip. I am glad you remember Gilda Radner and her quirky charaters. Happy New Year to you and Linda. Anne

Judging from the results of this last election it seems the nation shares your concerns. Let's end this fiasco and bring our men and women home.
Glad you survived the Blizzard of '06!
