DO IT LIKE THE GOVERNOR....................................................
Governor Bob Taft--a Republican by the way--is once again attempting to balance the Ohio budget by robbing Peter to pay Paul. He is taking money from the Tobacco Settlement--money designated for youth non-smoking programs, re-education efforts for tobacco farmers, and grants for children of tobacco...

UPDATE ON CANINE'S HEALTH--
I received an e-mail from John--Canine--today, and am posting here for all of you. As you can see--he still has his sense of humor... H, I had my surgery. I'm sore but I'm here. My ticker is plugging along and now has a biventricular defiberlator and pacemaker to help it along. I feel like the...

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW AND LOVE CANINE THE BLOGGER
I received this e-mail from him on Feb. 14. For those of you who recall, Canine - the K-9 cop - who wrote so lovingly of Christa - was shot last year. He did go back to work, but then had some bad news. Here is is e-mail to me - please keep him in your prayers. I haven't heard from him since this...

IT SEEMS I AM BECOMING MORE DETACHED EVERY DAY.............................
Yuppers - apparently I may be suffering from detached retinas. Have been having vision problems for a while now - flashing lights in peripheral area even when eyes closed. Not the same as the aura I get with migraines--these are bright and obscure my vision. Have also had shadows that slowly obscure...

IT'S BEEN AN ENGAGING HOLIDAY TO SAY THE LEAST.............................
I mentioned in a post a few days ago that Sam's dad asked his live-in love, Laura, to marry him on Christmas Day. She said yes--and Sam and I are thrilled as Laura is lovely. This will be Sam's dad's third marriage. My sister, Barb, 39, was also proposed to Christmas Day--in front of my family...

APPARENTLY THE FDA HAD ITS EYE ON ME--IT'S ALL MY FAULT BLOGGERS
I was on Vioxx for two and a half years--the arthritis medicine that has been pulled from the market. The news of that didn't worry me over much--I've not had any heart attack or stroke symptoms. Then yesterday I hear they have investigated Celebrex and now Pfizer, though not pulling it from the...

IS IT BETTER TO BE ALONE--OR LOVED AND LONELY?......................
Just watched "Love Actually" with Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, etc. Excellent film, funny and yet poignant. The ending made me think--mostly because the film revolves around Christmas time and is about love lost, found, f**ked up, etc. I will spend Christmas alone--again--like I did for many years. Sam...

THANK YOU ALF--IT'S NOT THE SKIN--IT'S WHAT THE SKIN HOLDS IN THAT MATTERS
A_Norseman is writing a three-part post on racism—and parts one and two are quite good and recommended reading from this chair. My family is from the New England area—Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. I can’t recall one racial incident occurring in all the years I lived back east. There were many...

MAY-DECEMBER RELATIONSHIPS - HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE?......................
I just finished watching the movie “Something’s Gotta Give” starring Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Amanda Peet, and Keanu Reeves. First of all – great movie. And B – Keanu Reeves is cute – but does not float my boat. The movie made me think though. I understand—I think—why men want women generations...

BLOGGER IS ON HER OWN AGAIN--THANK GOD--AND ON THE MARKET--EEEEK!!!!
So, I'm back to dating again. It's been a couple of years since I've actually dated. You know how it is--or maybe you don't--but when you move in with or marry a guy, you no longer date. You do laundry, play pick-up-Jockeys, cook, clean, and, if you're lucky, get stroked for it when the moon is...
