The view from Up Here

I was just thinking, here as the month of November is on its last sliver or two, how inordinately much of our time we spend doing or saying things that, a decade hence, we will think, "Was that dumb or what?" To say nothing of judgement day, when the good book tells us that we will give account of ourselves to our creator.
But, optimist that I am, I also know that there are a few brights spots along the way that I think back on with appreciation and, yes, contentment. One is being married to Maggie for over 30 years. Much more credit to her than me, I can tell you. Sometimes you need to take a minute out of your busy life, stop obsessing about all the terrible things that are happening in the world, all the irritants that crop up on a daily basis, and all the gloom and doom that seems to pervade our lives, and think about the good things. Get a life? I got one.

I couldn't resist this lovely photo:
Did I mention that John Kerry is not my most-favorite person?

What a contemptible human being. The part about the relative worth of a military member is bad enough, but when challenged about that, to try and lie about what he really said, is beyond contemptible. If that is the best the Democrats have to offer, and if that truly represents what Democrats think, it's poor, poor pickings. And that's all I have to say about that.
