It's All About Bootstraps, you ....

Hi Frankie, Just a note to let you know that I'm still here and checking your blog. I hope you are well and that your latest post was reflective, not literal. Donna

Not to worry. I am reflecting on a literal situation that just comes with age. It strikes me as rediculous to contemplate any procedure at my age. But they will bend your ear about it even if it is for nothing. I haven't been in the mood to write lately. That will change in the spring when there some chance of getting out and about. So South Carolina went for that Obama fellah. That's fine I guess. I would love to see them both have conventions that actually have to decide something for a change instead of all this cornation nonsense that we have seen for the past what 50 years maybe. Way I look at it Mickey Mouse would be a real step up from where we are now, just so long as the little fellah is a democrat.

Bottom line is its winter and there is not really all that much to report. I don't even dare walk down to the corner store. I can walk just fine, but I have no illusions about my sense of balance on a crust of snow or piece of ice. I have never been one to watch the TV, but I have always read a lot, but the eyes get tired, so I don't get much in. Anyway, thanks for stopping in. Maybe I will make something up and put it out there for the hell of it, which is why I do any of this. -Frankie.

Hope you are well and that you won't give up your writing/reflecting. Can't imagine winters like you describe, but it sounds like reading and writing are perfect activites to fill the time.

The political scene seems to be very fluid at the moment so Super Tuesday should be exciting. It would be nice to see a "real" convention again but with Edwards dropping out, it becomes less likely. To be honest, I've been concerned that Elizabeth hasn't been seen in months and I'm wondering how she is and whether that made his decision. Like you, I want a democrat in the office. I thought it was interesting that so many democrats voted in FL when there were no delegates up for grabs. I hope that holds true through the Nov. election.....but you never know how many won't vote for a woman or won't vote for a black man (no matter how qualitifed either may be)....but will vote to a Republican hawk as an alternative!! Had better get back to work...just popping in to day "hello" and wish you a good day.
