Tuesday Morning

So, I'm watching TV and every other commercial I hear a song from the 60's and 70's. This new generation has turned our favorite songs into 30 second clips to sell everything from Hair Dye to Cadillac's. Songs that helped us open our eyes and THINK! Something is very wrong with that.
Then you have 2 candidates running for President who have nothing better to tell us than how the other is racists. Have we become so incredibly stupid that we believe all this spin and rhetoric? We have become a nation of scared rabbits. We as a nation went crazy after Watergate.
Now, we don't even question anything anymore. We are afraid of being called traitors. As long as our cable TV works, our blackberry's are full and PlayStation's keep our kids hypnotized, we are happy. We hide our heads in the sand and hope all will turn out OK. I hope we get off this path and start to open our eyes.
In the meantime, as Bob Dylan would say, I'm going to sit here and watch the river flow.
Peace and Love to all. Mark

Monday Morning

Hi! All in all, it was a decent weekend. A few nasal problems and I have to watch my Diabetes closer. I kind of over did it with Susie Q's (chocolate only!). The Yanks won a slug fest and the Hall Of Fame game was pretty good. I like college football better. I like Miami and West Virginia.
Nancy, give me a call! I have been thinking about your Mom a lot. I hope her Chimo is working. I'm here for you if needed. The Dogs miss you. Peace and Love to all! Mark

Lazy Sunday

Hi all - Mark is not doing too well today. He is having an increasing problem with dripping nasal fluids that contain traces of blood. It's like having a cold, and when you bend forward, you "drip." There's not a lot of blood, but there's some in there. He has had this now for about three days, but today it's more pesky than before. I had him lie in bed most of the day. He's also having a lot of problems with "heaviness" in his legs and feet. He's having a harder time walking than usual. He's watching a movie now, and will probably join me in watching the Hall of Fame game later. I'm the football fan - he just tolerates me. He likes college ball. We both hope you had a great weekend and that you have a wonderful week. Our love to all of you.

Who's a Goddess????

Hey Guys! Yes, I am a goddess! I went shopping and found Mark's long lost Suzy-Qs. He is in 7th heaven. I picked up two boxes since they are so hard to come by. Now, I'll have to make sure he doesn't try to finish them in one sitting! Seriously, I made him a great supper, which he ate a lot of. He's having a Suzy-Q as I type for his dessert. One Happy Camper! Love to you all!

Saturday

Hi everybody. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Rebecca just went shopping. I'm getting ready to watch the Yankee game. I watched The Mummy movie this morning along with Step Brothers. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good today. Headaches are minor, but have some loss of feeling in my legs and hands. I haven't been eating that well the past few days. I'm just not very hungry. Maybe Rebecca will get me some Twinkies.
Nothing much to say today. Have a good weekend everyone. Peace and Love Mark

Little Tidbit

Hey, guys - it's Rebecca. What Mark isn't telling you is, the hair's not grey, it's beautiful and silver. I'm envious. . . I have to pay for that color. And, it's soft and the back is curly. I think it's really pretty. Oh, he'll hate that! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!

TGIF

I took a long look in the mirror this morning and noticed my hair is growing back in, which is nice, but it is all grey! I'm not used to this "old" thing. Kids calling me "sir." I used to be the radical. Now I'm an old fart.
Does anyone find it interesting that the amount of money Exxon has made over the last 3 months, is the same amount that General Motors has lost? Weird.
I'm going to spend today cleaning the house. The dogs are shedding everywhere and I have spent long enough feeling sorry for myself.
You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
Peace and Love to all and have a great weekend. Mark
