Hello Again ...

I have a number of blogs, being UNREAD, so hopefully, I am going to stay on this site, and hope my ADD doesn't kick in and lead me elsewhere.

To all those who have asked, I will periodically add some of the booklet my Dad wrote, and eventually publish the whole book on this site. A number of people have purchased it on my LULU site, but will break it into sections, and publish here.

I hope to make it interesting reading. I have had a hard time focusing since my "surgery" over a year ago, triple by-pass. It plays many head games with you, all are unexpected. Some go away, others sneak up on you.

They don't warn you about the side effects of the surgery. Their concern is that you don't use your arms too much, exercise a little, don't lay on your side, and use your knees when you get up our of a chair. Nothing about depression, anxiety attacks, blackouts, and those are the ones that take so long to get over, if in fact, you ever do.

You think you are complete recovered, then some little thing happens, and you realize you are over a hurdle, but you were not aware the hurdle was there, if that makes sense.

Anyway, DOOLEY Observed is back, not too much to discuss, Obama, terrorists, pirates, the economy, unemployment, financially speaking, running the country into the ground, the new Yankee Stadium, (paying $800 for a ticket), the NBA finals, or, more importantly, how to stay awake while watching all those millionaires frollick around, and after the game, you can watch a show where they take you on a tour of a players home, (oppulance we can't even imagine), and one of my major concerns, THE FARMER. They are declining daily. We are dependent for oil. Think where we will be when we are dependent ............... ON FOOD ................ I think that will be about the last of our country as we know it.

Time to learn a second language, just not sure what it should be. To be on the safe side, learn Chinese, Arabic and Spanish.
