    Thank you, domini.

    Thank you for your good words and good thoughts. I send the same to you for you have rather cheered me up on this windy, gloomy day when remnants of Ike have shaken the windows a bit. No tornados yet.

    All the best to you and I hope that everyone reading here will give a thought to the people of Lake Charles, Houston, Galveston and those other coastal towns impacted by Ike.

    Obama was right to cancel his appearance on SNL tonight to give respectful thought to people who truly are not fortunate tonight.

    Here's a hand to you domini. If more people were like you and could reach out as you do, they would truly benefit Obama.
