Whew!

Someone's getting old!  I guess I can't do it like I used to.  I ran this AM, about 7 miles, and biked this PM, about 9 miles.  In between, I threw about 2-3 hours of shredded bark (arf! arf!).  OK, with that, the Codester helped me, well, as much as a 3-year old can.  (And Bopper was ill today, staying home from school for the 2nd time this year--a bit of stomach flu?) and mowed the front lawn.  (Who's complaining?  The LaBatts from the freezer is great, since K, Russ, Carrie, et al aren't meeting at Sparkie's this eve.)

I'm not a Democrat and I'm not a Republican--to show so, I have since my first Presidential election, 40 years ago, I've only once voted for a victor.  (If I was running for President, I'd find me and ask me to vote for the other guy!)  But I find it both hilarious and appalling that a recent New Republic column claimed it is "ideological" and "reprehensible" that fellow conservative Supremes Alito and Roberts voted together 96% of the time, but that it's "admirable" and "principled" that liberal Suprems Sotomayor and Kagan agreed 94% of the time.  Who can take such a column seriously??????

I hope everyone takes a minute or two this weekend to consider "Memorial Day."  Athough not all of our wars may have been righteous, our soldiers--those who died and those who survived--deserve our respect and gratitude.  (We can take up he "righteousness" with our politicians.)
