McCain's pick for VP

Today was full of surprises.....John McCain didn't pick the two front runners that I thought he would....thought maybe Mitt Romney or the governor of Minnesota....instead he picked a woman who was mayor and now governor of Alaska.....a woman that has her hands full with 5 children.....Sarah Palin....it could be a wise move or it could be the worst mistake of his life....on the one hand there's Obama who is a "new face" and now we have Sarah Palin on the Republican side who is a "new face".....McCain and Biden have been around the block....does Sarah Palin's being a woman help??? Some politicians say we need CHANGE....maybe the change we need is a woman VP???

On to the convention(Monday)!!

The Bronx Bombers

This is the 3rd game of the Red Sox and the Bronx Bombers (New York Yankees)....We've won the first two....and looks like we're winning the third one...this will be the last game that the Sox will be playing at Yankee Stadium...what sweet revenge if we sweep the series!!

Any comments???

Update....We lost in the ninth innning by one run....but at least we won the series two games to one....The Yankee and Boston rivalry goes on

Robert Frost (favorite poems)

I don't read much poetry....but I like Robert Frost....I've been to the Robert Frost Museum in Franconia, NH.....and there's a poem that Robert Frost did "The Road Not Taken".....and when we were at the Robert Frost Museum there was a Professor Cook....who was a Professor at Dartmouth.....and he recited a few of Robert Frost's poems....and the one that attracted me was "In a Glass of Cider"....Life is all about grabbing the bubbles.....

Again, I don't read much poetry.....but these two I enjoy....

"Uncle Teddy"

This is my last comment for the day......
I just finished watching Ted Kennedy give his speech.....
Very emotional....it looks like it took alot out of him but he said
he had to be right there for his support of Obama...
Caroline Kennedy gave a speech about her uncle......her "Uncle Teddy" which was very moving.....but when he came out it was quiet a moment....
It was almost like he was giving his last hurrah....My prayers are with him and his family......Oh oh oh.....I don't agree on his choice for president but I give him credit for making his trip to Denver to make his speech....Outstanding......

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is chewing gum

...while giving her speech at the podium of the convention!!!
Is it me....but Iam grossed out seeing a woman giving an important speech.....and she's chewing gum!!!Disgusting....Am I over sensitive???

first time

This is my first time blogging....my son insisted that I start a blog....and I said "what would I write about???" And I am just curious to see if anybody else is in the same position....

I like to read....I like to kick the leaves in the fall.....and especially love cool, crisp air.....of Winter....all my family thinks Iam weird.....I think thats why God gave us four seasons....to keep everybody happy....but its been a LONG summer

does anybody agree with me????
So please give me tips what to write in this blog....
