The Dead of Finter

All the leaves are off the trees, but it hasn't snowed yet. It's not Fall...It's not Winter...It's....FINTER!!!

Today was Thanksgiving. We went to Deb's Grandma's for lunch. Had a very nice time. Her uncle's mother was there. She isn't doing too well. Babbling and singing to herself...trouble remembering people. Tough to watch cause she's a nice lady.

We headed down to Newport and visited with my brother and nieces for awhile. Had another meal there too. I'm dinnered out for awhile.

Work is going ok. Chrissy got her memory yesterday and Mike helped her put it in. Looks to be running pretty good. I'd like to get a few sticks for my machine too.

We're watchin' Charlie Brown and I'm typin' to you.

More Stuff

Went to the Dr. today. Took me off some meds, put me on some meds, took some blood, the usual. I got the wrong memory for Chrissy's computer and we have to send that back. They won't charge me restocking if we order the new stuff from them, so that's 25 bucks I don't have to spend.

Off to work.

Stuff

Apparantly somebody saw my last post. Go here...I tried, but it's down.

Big assault in Iraq. Wonder why they didn't do it last week?

I've been sick the past few days. I go in for a carotid doppler tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll feel good enough to go to work.

Apologies

I'd like to apologize to the rest of the planet for our incapability of electing the smarter guy president. We have a disproportionately high number of stupid people in our country and, unfortunately, we allow them to vote.

Is Arafat dead? Isn't he? How are you doing in your office pool? :)

I went to the local Dr. today. My Cardio Dr. took me off of two meds and today is the first day without. He started me on an anti-anxiety pill too. My neck still bothers me, but I feel a little better. Saturday will tell the tale though, when we go to the game.

Onward

We are sooooo Fucked.

Kerry has a chance. However, mathematically, it's an uphill fight. We are so screwed if George wins. Chrissy wants to get a place in Canada, sounds good to me.

Oh well, Pennsylvania did it's part. I was very proud of our state. A shame we couldn't get it together in one or 2 other states. I think they're gonna call Wisconsin. Ohio, Iowa and New Mexico won't finish till tomorrow.

I give em a few more minutes then I'm going to bed.

Night all

It's gonna be pretty close. I hope you all voted...

CNN has a great thing where you can punch in your zip code and look at the results for your area. As of 10:38, it's 58 percent Kerry, 41 percent Bush with 57 percent of the polls reporting. As of 10:30, some polls in Pennsylvania were not closed yet. One poll reported 300 people waiting to vote. I am really thrilled with the turnout, especially since that favors the Democrats.

My cath was uneventful. Bill and Betty came down with Deb and I to hang out. I had to wait almost 5 hours for them to do it. They put little 15in TV's on swing arms in the recovery area. That was very cool. They were doing a countdown on CNN till the polls closed and the time coincided with when they would let me get up and walk. I didn't even have to check my watch. There were no blockages. I probably won't be back to work till Sunday. I go see the Dr. tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out what the problem is.

We were coming home down 2nd street in Harrisburg and passed a construction site at the Dragonfly. There was a fold up barrier that decided to fall against the Pacifica just as I passed it. I guess god doesn't want me to have a nice vehicle. We exchanged information with the guy in charge and headed up the road. We stopped at The Glass Lounge to eat and headed home to watch the returns.

It's gonna be close. I think it will all boil down to Ohio. I'm praying for Kerry. Enjoy the returns.

Vote

...for Kerry. And I promise, if you vote for him all of those commercials will go away.

I'll remember this election day on several levels. I have to be at the hospital for the cath at 12:30 tomorrow. If there's no problems, I'll be home early evening. If they have to stent or balloon, I will be there at least overnight. Just gimme a tv so I can watch the returns and I'll be happy.

I took pictures for the winter recital yesterday. I'll put up one or two when I get a chance.

I'll be lookin' for ya...
