Election Day is Almost Here!

The election is almost here. And boy, am I glad. I am so tired of all the political commercials; and they’re numbers are increasing as the election approaches. I figure it’s probably because people don’t have a lot of money, so they wait until the end to run their commercials. Gotta figure they’re hoping that people vote for the person remembered from the most recent commercial aired. If that’s the case, it’s: 1) sad and 2) scary.

I was talking with a friend last night and we spoke about how we vow that we’re not going to get ‘hooked’ into all the election coverage hoopla, yet we find ourselves just in that very spot. Even my wife has been spending most of her time perusing the networks and cable stations looking at what’s being said today about the candidates. It’s disturbing to me. I keep telling her I’ll be glad when I get my wife back. Then I tease her about which candidate is going to get my vote. Of course I tell her ‘I’m kidding!’ otherwise I’d have to sleep with one eye open.

So, I’ll be glad when it’s done. The problems continue, and my concerns as well about the violence increasing in our country. A lot of people feel isolated, scared, and hopeless.
There is hope for people, let’s talk and find that hope.

October!

October – one of my favorite months in the year – the weather’s turning, but it’s not gotten outright cold yet, football is in full swing, we get an extra hour sleep when we turn our clocks back!

A favorite thing for me to do during this month is to rent/watch scary movies. I remember when my kids were growing up I’d go to the library and borrow old Frankenstein and Wolfman movies – they were very entertaining even in this day of special effects.

It’s just a lot of fun, even now that my kids are out of the home, we’ll talk on the phone and laugh about ‘scary movie month’. A good bonding time for us.

Anyway, my point is to have fun. I don’t want to ever lose the ability to have a good time. That’s my hope for you as well.
