Great Stuff All Over

Rehab is still going great.  Only four days of multiple meds for the urinary infection left.  Taking a pill every six hour is a pain in the neck, but if it cures what ills ya -- guess that what matters.  At least I have nap time.

Today is an amazing day in the suburban northeast!  (Check out some of that foliage.)  Out for my 1.5 mile walk just suckin up the beauty that is autumn is New Jersey.  Crimson, gold and green on the clear blue sky, a solitary leaf drifting on a breeze and a senior raking a small pile of freshly fallen debris just make me appreciate the simplest things in life.  Wish that I would have the presence to pause and consider these things don the typical rollercoaster day.

Some other great stuff in the last week:

My brother Bob and his family came out to visit (that's Connor with the Mike and Jack.

Helen's havin a great time cheering.  We all went out to enjoy the game - or at least the cheering since Parsippany was crushed 27-0.  That's Cath relaxing and Mike with me.

The images on the political scene are a very sharp contrast.  Twists of truth and outright lies from both sides just disgust me.  The hubris and arrogance of the last eight years, topped with an economic collapse unlike I can recall  surely make it seem like the blue tide will rise.  But in America you can never count out the ignorance of the masses and racism.  Some folks think Barrack is muslim (not that it should matter), some printed voting ballots are actually spelling "Obama" as "Osama"    It's a confusing time for sure.

Thanks again for all the the prayers, calls, cards and emails.  I'm humbled by so much love....
