fester
considering our demographic, about average. My wife is getting over extensive shoulder surgery, which will take six months or so to get past; my dad continues to disappear down the well of Alzheimer's; my wife's mom is wheelchair bound. But we all have health coverage, complete and lifelong, our children and grandchildren are close both geographically and emotionally, and we are, beyond doubt, blessed. Seeing pictures of Burma or whatever they're calling it these days, or Darfur, or Iraq, and we know how well we are off. Many Americans cannot say the same. The election is about starting to change that. No one should have to choose between a mortgage payment and an operation, between food and medicine. It's criminal. thus, deluded as I am, I intend to vote Democratic from the top of the ticket to the bottom. That goes for everyone in our extended family. thanks for asking. Hope that all is at least tolerable with you and yours. jeff.
