25-minutes on recumbent bike. I'm tired of ice and snow and cold. It's very much a down winter this year. Borderline cold & sore throat. Lots of depressing news on TV and in conversations yesterday.
Had a very busy day off:
1. Local Democratic Party Action Committee had our Congressman in for an hour. I'm Independant (unaffiliated) so I went to ask questions. Not reassuring, the poor guy really couldn't answer me. I was interviewed by a reporter but not quoted in the paper. I asked some questions which I told were not softballs.
2. 40th b-day party for one friend.
3. 50th b-day party for another friend, 2 hours later, where I knocked back a few and felt a little bit better.
Damn. I'm 54, I'm glad I'm not 18. I couldn't guess where this world, or the US, will be in 20 years. I suppose we COULD be at the start of a new Depression.
I have only one aging parent and a brother left in my family. This was an odd day.
And today, by golly, everyone will focus on the Stupor Bowl.
This story about the ba*ards on Wall Street didn't help:

God Bless you George Bush & your base ("the have mores").
