A Few Disjointed Thoughts

Since I posted in early February my wife and I have been to Tampa FL to visit my family; particularly my Dad who is 91 years old and in a nursing home. We stayed with my sister and her husband while there. I really wish we lived a lot closer to them than we do; we have so much fun with them when there.

I just got out a new issue of a newsletter I do for my church: United Church of Cohoes (Presbyterian). I like doing it but getting people to give me information is like pulling hens teeth.

I turn 61 years old this year and am thinking of retiring when I reach 62 - so the countdown will start officially in a couple months. I have mixed emotions about that.

I have said that if McCain got the republican nomination that I would vote for a 3rd party candidate. But I have reconsidered that as I would be helping Hillary or O'Bama to win the election so I have to suck it up and vote for McCain. I had thought for a while of looking at O'Bama but there are things surfacing that make me very afraid of him getting to be President; including his wife who isn't glad to be an American even though she has enjoyed more of it's benefits than most of us ever will. Anyway I am going to vote for McCain.
