Feeling Better....

I have to say, I have never felt so bad. This picture reveals only 1/2 of what I was experiencing:

Additionally, that Pedialyte stuff is awful... They actually expect kids to drink it? I was washing it down with red Gatorade (which is not-that-tasty in itself) just to get the flavor off my malfunctioning taste buds. None the less, the doctor's advice seemed to have worked...

I managed to watch the first press conference last night and was impressed by not only the candor President Obama (I like saying that... President Obama, President Obama) displayed, but also the way he seemed to really "process" the questions before answering them. At first it was a little annoying (to me anyway), it seemed like he was faltering, but then I realized what he was doing; analyzing before answering? What a unique political concept... How he kept tract of the multi-part questions and seemed to answer each point in order was fascinating. So what that he spent his time answering them? Just another departure from the "same-ole" presidential press conference that "W" made so noteworthy (NOT)... When was the last time that any Bush took eight minutes to answer one (multi-layered) question?

On another political topic, guess what passed through the house here in (the tobacco capitol) Virginia yesterday? A smoking ban in all restaurants and bars! Who would have ever thought? I am all for it (even though I still partake in the nasty habit) I am in total agreement that smoking in any enclosed space puts others at risk, not just those who smoke...

Who knows, maybe Virginia lawmakers will someday realize that two loving people (regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, or sexual identity) should be allowed to marry (or have a domestic partnership, or whatever). Nah, never gonna happen...

OK, I am all done (see I am feeling better!)...

Over and "Out" and back to work today, from Chesapeake, VA
