A very good day........

A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

School is great. The students this year are very much responsive. I'm getting excited. Biology is my first love and, because I worked in medicine for twenty years I understand the subject well. I hope that my enthusiasm wears-off on the students. I've not seen much reluctance from them yet.

When I woke up this a.m., after my solitary time, I turned on the boob-tube--POLITICS. When I arrived home this p.m. again---POLITICS. It's getting ugly. I prefer for the government to stay out of my way and I believe in the constitution so, I'm a conservative--but not necessarily a Rebuplican. I think that Sarah Palin has breathed life into the GOP. It seems that the Dems are attacking her instead of McCain. I hope people vote for substance over fluff.

I'm still organizing the house for the guests in October. What a party we'll have. My #2 is getting married and #1 plus all of her family are comming for the party.

My niece is getting married the Saturday before my son. Her shower is Sunday. It will be lots of fun I'm sure.
