Hello
and welcome. I know many if not most of my regular readers prefer
something other than the political commentary that I serve up on
occasion, however, I am pretty much limited to whatever I happen to
be focused on and fussing about on any particular day. The good news
is found in how easy it is to skip over, avoid, and if nothing else,
completely ignore the material if it doesn't strike your fancy. I
fear that way too many are doing just that pretty much all the time
when it comes to the stuff going on in Washington, D.C. But, that's
mostly what I wrote about yesterday so it is time to move on, on this
Thursday, February 20, 2014. I could talk about the weather because
we all do, but I think I've said about all I can think to say about
it up to this point. I would caution any who might be persuaded to put away their coats thinking that
winter is all used up for the season. It's just me talking here but I really don't think we will
be waiting for the fall before we see a little more frost on the
pumpkin, so to speak.
Our
internet connection here at the office was cut on Monday and I went
for 2 and ½ days serving a form of isolated confinement. We suddenly
found ourselves slammed back into the old school mode of looking up
information in something called the Yellow Pages, and using printed
catalogs, manuals, and tools called a pencil and paper. How
dependent are we on immediate online access all the time? I can only
say I wouldn't want to figure out the full answer to that question
because having everything at your fingertips and available
instantaneously, well, as far as I can tell, in a practical sense,
it's the only way you can get the job done today. I'm not sure that's
altogether a good thing but I am sure that to try and go back and do
it like we did prior to online access would be like returning to the
stone age. Literally. I know. There are some people who refuse to
connect into the brave new world. They luckily are most likely not at
a competitive disadvantage for doing so. I will not say how many
times I did, without even thinking, attempt to log in even though I
knew we had no connection. The answer is more than a few and that
just goes to show you how it does become integral to how we function
each day.
Last
week we were privileged to have our great grand Madi Girl staying
with us for a few days. All I can say is that she is one funny girl.
I know the wife was on the front lines during most of her visit, but,
it's remarkable how much excitement that comes with having a four
year old hanging around. I can truthfully say that she was lavished
upon during her time with us, as in spoiled, but, it doesn't happen very often, and
without a doubt I could tell she tended to enjoy it, and so did those pouring on
the special treatment. I know I am a serial sucker for the déjà vu
all over again but in this situation it's impossible not to mentally
relive these same feelings we felt with Madi's mommy. I don't know
that much about all the DNA and Genome matching stuff but I can tell
you that little Madi is carrying around a near perfect match to her
mom, at least at this age. I'm talking everything from demeanor to
nuanced inferences. What a blessing! The wife was tired but I think
she would be the first to say it was a good tired, and, as for me,
the more or less innocent bystander, it was a blast because let me
just say this about that, she is one funny girl! Have a great rest of
the day and may God add His blessings to it. Amen. ….More later.
