Had a terrific visit with new grandson and his big brother last week. Have to publish a couple of photos as the proud poppy. Everyone is doing fine and their father the heating and cooling guy survived the Polar Vortex fixing peoples furnaces and Mom is moving along with her recovery from Everett's birth.
Our old dog Apollo decided he needed to answer nature's call at about 1:30 am and then the sound of the tinkling frozen rain upset him so, that he couldn't return to his bed. The tap, tap, tap of his little feet entertained me until I relented and moved to the couch where he could sleep on top of me. He slept and I watched him sleep. Oh the joys of pet ownership.
As I view the clown car of Democratic hopefuls, it is reminiscent of the Republican crew that was assembled in 2015 going forward to the election. I hope someone emerges as a viable candidate to stand in opposition to the current office holder. I always liked Cory Booker, but it all remains to be seen going forward. They need a cohesive strategy for this election, a concept that has been sorely lacking with the Democrats. We will see as the story unfolds.
And now (as Ed Sullivan used to say) we are going slipping and sliding down the sidewalk. Kids have another day off. Parents are struggling to find alternative child care because they have to return to work to pay off their student loans and mortgages. Grand parents are increasingly the choice for the kids. But if they don't reside near, a big problem.
all for now
