Politics

This upcoming election is interesting to say the least but depending on who the Democrats choose it could make my decision making easier. The bottom line is, if Hillary gets the nomination then I will vote for whoever runs against her. If Obama gets it then I will have to drop back and do a comparison of the candidates for the two parties.

I am not inclined to vote for McCain as he is just a Liberal even though he is in the Republican party. He really doesn't have any of the values I like. It looks like Romney is the best of the lot for me but it isn't looking good right now.

Actually I am not really crazy about the candidats of either party but we have to take the lessor of the two evils according to our own values and beliefs.

Football and MIscellaneous

Well the football season is over, the playoffs are over and it will be New England verses the New York Giants in the super bowl. I don't really care for either team but I really dislike the Patriots so I will root for the Giants. My brother in law loves the Patriots so I have to keep my big mouth shut when he is around - sometimes that is not easy for me.

A few weeks ago I was ordained and installed as a Deacon in my church - The United Presbyterian Church in Cohoes. I have taken on the responsibility of putting out our church newsletter (the Sonlight). I put one out and have one ready to go but it has a lot of filler as people while they like to do the work don't want to take the time to put anything in writing for the newsletter and bulletins etc. Not being one who likes to pester people I will just do what I can without annoying anyone.
