General Ramblings

· I know some people thought that the media made too much out of the death of Tim Russert, but I didn’t. I read his books a few years ago and loved them. I always enjoyed what he had to say. I also find it very impressive how his peers spoke of him. I bet we all wish we could be so revered.

· This election is headed in a direction where neither party specifically likes their candidate. I wonder who is 4 years away from being the President? Whoever gets elected might just be very vulnerable in 4 years. I bet Hillary hopes so!

· I am becoming increasingly bothered by bad things happening to really good people. How many more times will I ask why before I get an answer?

· I have an herb garden and I don’t care what you do, it is almost impossible to kill rosemary!

· I saw a double rainbow the other day while driving. I wish my Blackberry was a camera. It probably has the ability to take pictures but I need my 14 year old daughter to show me how.

· I have been almost to the point of sheer disgust over the pregnancy pact from the teenagers in Massachusetts. It is making me debate my own philosophy on birth control, sex education, and how we should or shouldn’t punish parents for the acts of their children. Parents….please TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN!!!!

· I love where I work. I have heard staff use the word servant leader more in the last 3 months than I have ever heard in 25 years in the Y.

· On my beach trip, I usually fill up to go to the beach and then fill up again to return. A full tank is 20 gallons. So an extra dollar a gallon from last year will not slow down my summer beach travel. $40 is a small price to pay for a week with my family.

· Did you know that Charles Darwin and Abe Lincoln were born on the same day?

· My son Brooks thinks it’s hilarious that the drug Aciphex may cause constipation. I am just thankful he is not asking me about why I should call a doctor after a 4 hour erection!

· I think I am the only person that doesn’t like the TV show The Office. I am not a big Steve Carrell fan and I know I wouldn’t like Get Smart. Now Anne Hathaway is way cool!

· I did watch the 5th set of the Federer vs Nadal Wimbledon match. What a display!

· I love the summer at the Y!

· Did I hear right? At the Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest they dipped the hot dogs in a mixture of oil and water to help them slide down? They call that the slider. I bet it slides out the other end too!
