Kinda Blah today, dreary and cold outside, dirty snow on the ground, two good things so far, the coffee is really good, and hot, and today is the birthday of one Melissa Shannon Dooley-Dunlap, my daughter. Make it a point to send a Happy Birthday EMail to her- thepurplenova@yahoo.com that would really brighten her day. She is a really good kid, trying to get her business started, between the weather and the economic climate it is tough going, so an email from you, or anyone would be great. Send this to your mailing list and have your friends send one to. A lot of emails, from strangers, would be a neat present, thank You.
I did not watch the Super Bowl Speech last night, watched basketball and bits of the few channels that were not carrying the speech. Between the Arizona Pep Rally and the Couples Night Out speech last night, well, one can only take so much.
People were cold and hungry in this country last night, perhaps some froze to death, some people had to decide between medicine, they need, and food, and yet we are sending food and aid to any country that has had a disaster of some kind. Ships are still lined up getting relief to Haiti and other countries, while the homeless population in this country climbs at an alarming rate. The main concern in Washington last night, who was sitting with who, and they sat there listening to a well orchestrated speech, being given by a man that we don't even know, for sure, is qualified to even be holding the office.
Jobs are leaving the country at an alarming rate, immigrants are crossing our borders, at an alarming rate, and adding a potentially devastating burden on our welfare and health care systems, and whatever rhetoric was "spread" last night, in no way addressed the problem.
Oh, the OSU basketball game I watched last night, was a runaway, much like our economy. The PA announcer thanked everyone for coming, with five minutes left, the crowd was leaving, unlike "date night" in Washington last night.
