February with photo

It'a been awhile since I have posted here-
no one is reading this stuff anyway- but I shall continue for the sake of posterity.

ON THIS DAY
On Feb. 24, 1868, the House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempt to dismiss Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; the Senate later acquitted Johnson. ( NYX )

2006:
D Rumsfeld tried to quit- but gw refused his resignation.
imagine bringing impeachment charges against a President for trying to
dismiss a Cabinet Member ! We have come a long way when we don't bring impeachment charges for serious crimes, (except for adultery, of course, G_d forbid)
so lying is ok, now..but 'stoning' is still operable for adulterers.
I really wish I could express a modicum of optimism, but our national situation is so sad.

today is friday the 24th of Feb....we have about 3 more weeks of ridiculously cold temps...
and I guess next week is Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent...
We can look forward to the birth of our 2nd! grandchild - wow...
due the end of April.
CONGRATULATIONS to cousin Maria ( see photo,above with bro Angelo ) who tells us she has quit a 2 pack /day cig habit.
now- that is something to celebrate..Way to Go ! Ree.

SuperBowl- old news- lots of excitement in the D metro area and good press.
I am working on the plan to be in Orlando in October-if you are reading this and would like to get together there and then pls e mail or call.
10/27- 10/29..
enjoy your day
