Winding down to the last few days...

Tonight at 8 P.M. EST for thirty minutes, on three channels, which includes CBS, NBC, and Fox, Senator Barack Obama will be putting to good use his donated campaign funds to describe how he would handle all the problems of us Americans. I do wonder why no ABC?
He is known for his plain concise speaking ability, and so I will be watching to confirm my opinion of him and his ideas on how our concerns will be taken away and replaced with some relief.

Oddly enough he also requested for our early voting in Florida hours to be extended to go from 7A.M. to 7 P.M., and here in our county it will be going all the way through Saturday with those hours.

At first, our Governor Charlie Crist turned the request down, but changed his mind.
I have no idea why, but if I knew I would tell you.
And now, would you believe, Senator John McCain has said that the extended hours are giving an unfair advantage to Senator Barack Obama, huh?
How could that be?
Do Senator Obama’s voters get up earlier than Senator McCain’s or do they work later than his?
I’m confused don’t all Americans basically have the same options of voting as long as they are a citizen registered to vote and at least 18 years old?
Oh well, I must have missed something somewhere.
People sometimes need excuses to explain why things aren’t going their way.

Cold is how our night was last night, in the 40’s as predicted, and tonight will be the same, but the day did warm up into the 80’s here and so will tomorrow’s weather. I did go for a walk this morning, but after 9 since it was still in the 50’s, would you believe?

My library book: Audition was returned today, since it was due back, but it was unfinished, it is on a waiting list that is for all new books and because of that it was not allowed to be renewed so I asked to be put on the list again, only eleven are ahead of me this time; last time they were 35. Maybe by then my concentration will have improved; I did write down what page I was on, it was #458.

Anyway, I have a few weeks to get my act together.
Over the last few weeks that I have been off kilter I have managed to insult my neighbor by saying her adopted adult/children sons were only her biological son’s half brothers.
Like mine, but let me explain, my half-brother was never allowed to be adopted by my biological father. He tried, but my half brother’s biological father wouldn’t let him, and then he exited my half brother’s life.
I guess, her four adoptees Mom either was cooperative, passed away, or a really bad Mom, who knows, because I never delved further; my bad.
Assuming that she was dead or didn’t really care that would make this neighbor way ahead of my well meaning father who tried to also be that responsible, but unfortunately was sabotaged to fail, consequently confusing his young daughter on how to refer to her sibling that was nineteen years her senior.

Thus my reasoning of a half brother, not a full one, in reality in my mind I was just stating the facts as I saw them.

Then I called my cousin with the broken hip and leg to see how she was, and was wondering why I hadn’t heard from her. (I have been sending Get Well cards weekly, so I felt I was in contact)
Apparently, my cousin her husband never told her about his cousins that passed on, but told me that she was doing so wonderfully that she was walking all over the neighborhood with her walker and was back to playing bridge.
Not true according to his wife she still feels horrid, and can barely move around the house.
Denial is an interesting thing.
And lastly that he said that he would tell my Mom’s side of the family, the one he is on, about the sad news. Now I don’t know if they know, so I have a dilemma.
I suppose I can leave it all alone, but it is weird not knowing what to think and worse why he did this.

Family is an odd thing, and who knows what we will get when we are born, as the saying goes you can chose your friends but not your family.
Too bad I say!
It should be like spouses, where you get to meet all kinds of people over a specific amount of time, go out a few times, kick the tires, talk about worldly views, earth shattering matters that you really care about and then you decide if you want to commit famtrimony, like matrimony but exclusively for choosing family members. You continue on this venture until say like you have 20 to 50 members or so that you can depend on with views and feelings similar to yours, all in great health, brilliant, and beautiful, but to your idea of beauty, that is different for all peoples, and then you are done.
How’s that sound?

Again on that silly note I will leave you.
Good night to all and to all choose your family wisely. LOL
