Another day without a dollar
The Olympics are over and I will miss them. The TV was usually on while I worked. I can't say I was always watching it but I did do a lot of listening. Nathan (my 28 years old Downs Syndrome son) was overjoyed that the programming had ended as they pre-empted the soap operas he is addicted to. I have absolutely no interest in soaps but he follows the story lines and dramas with glee. He made sure I knew the Special Olympics (what do you expect he would call them?) were ending on Sunday and made announcements throughout the day to me. As I said, I will miss them for where else can one find countries of the world coming together for peaceful purposes. It is the way we should compete with each other.
The Republicans are starting their convention in NYC and now the TV is tuned to CSPAN. One of things I have noticed is how different it is from the DNCs big party. The Demos convention, which I also followed, was very high tech...From the presentations, the story boards, the stage levels, etc. The Republicans also look so much alike. . We would call them 'squares' back in the days. Suits, ties and bouffant hair seem to be the dress of the day whereas the Demos were a diverse group, not only in the way they dressed but in the skin colors. The best speech of the evening was given by Rudolf Guiliani, he seemed relaxed and smiling but I question the validity and content of his message. The focus of the evening was the Sept. 11 tragedy and an effort to link that to the war in Iraq. Hummm... I don't buy it.
CSPAN also covered the protest march and rallies outside Madison Square Garden and all those flag draped coffins carried by many parents who had lost children in the war were very effective. I was very happy to see that it was a peaceful protest too...

Clothes need to be washed, stuff needs pricing, truck needs packing and lots of last minute chores are waiting. I am in the home stretch before the show this coming weekend.

Thank you judih, glad you could tune in. Still having computer problems at home? I was greatly saddened to see that more innocents were killed in your country by more mad bombers. I hope some sanity and peace will break out and I always think about you, yours and being safe. Many blessings my friend.
Jamelah!!! Thanks for the reply. You know, I love my jammies! As for this blog, it is your fault you know. If it wasn't for you and Caryn, I would have never attempted it but you guys made it look so fun (and it is!) Finally, a place to display my stuff and say what comes to mind. O joy! Heh.
Hey Fenris, I am glad you stopped by! Thanks.
