I fell asleep last night, and missed Joe Biden's speech!

Darn, and I really did want to hear that.
During the day yesterday the blurbs I saw and heard about his rituals with attending to his senate job for over thirty years were most impressive.
He goes home every night from D.C. to be with his family; I like that.

It all started because of horrible circumstances losing his wife and young daughter in a horrendous car accident where his two young sons were also injured.
He kept true to his promise to his two surviving sons by being home every night for them, and that was 32 years ago.

Luckily for him he met and married his current wife five years after that terrible day, and incredibly was blessed with another daughter.
He still to this day takes that train home to his wife every night.
Those children are all grown today.
He is as regular a Joe as any of us, and this is due to him never forgetting his roots and his family, which makes him totally relatable to most of us.
Oh well, Mr. Obama will be the main speaker tonight, and I am interested in what he has to say! After all he could very well be our next president.

New topic: Tropical Storm Gustav is still on the same path; but even a little further away from us, and definitely heading towards Louisiana, scary! He may very well be a cat 3 by the time he gets there.

Meanwhile, in the Atlantic somewhat, Tropical Storm Hanna, used to be depression 8, has become a reality, and some meteorologist are saying she is the one to watch because that she may be coming right for us!
Only time will tell.

Busy, busy.
Must be on alert, keep on our toes, and all those other clichés for such occasions!

As I have said before this is our hurricane season, and I guess the action speaks for itself.

I will keep you posted, as long as I stay awake, although my back up, my hubby is pretty good at keeping info updated. He has corrected and straightened me out on more than one occasion.
That could be because as of this weekend August 31.2008 we have known one another for forty-one years, would you believe? We have been married for thirty-eight this coming Valentine's Day.

Good night to all, and keep up with whatever is going on in your world or all our encompassing world. Don't stay on the sidelines!
Life is interesting and should be monitored by all!
