TGIF...I Think

Today sure looks promising.

Last night The Governor started getting sick. He has a fever and is a bit shaky. No other symptoms. I think I'd almost feel better if he were sneezing or coughing. This hot and wobbly stuff gives me the creeps. Fortunately, the last time he did this, it was over and done with in 24 hours.

Last night I also found out my uncle is turning liberal on me. He and his wife drove up from Missouri with my grandparents for a brief stay in the cities. After my soccer game last night, I stopped at my parents' house to say hello to the new arrivals. My uncle was already at his hotel, but my mom joyfully told me that Uncle B. was more than ready to discuss his dislike of President Bush. Say it ain't so, Uncle B.! Aren't you the same guy who held Oliver North as your personal hero? What happened?

I guess I'll find out tonight at the family dinner. I hope, brother-in-law Mike, that you are planning on attending tonight's meal: The Conservatives could use some reinforcements. My mother is dancing on cloud nine at the thought of finally having some liberal allies.

Fortunately for me, I will get to leave most of the politics up to The VP. (Good luck, dear, but try not to make my relatives cry, okay?) I will be bailing early from dinner for a soccer game. After that, I will be picking up my nephews for a weekend visit to The Outpost. It's always great to have some free slave labor the boys come and stay. I know they are looking forward to stacking wood all day tomorrow. If not they can help me yank the weeds out of the landscaping rocks around the house. Don't forget your DEET kiddos!

With all the above happening, I am missing something I was really hoping to attend: my neighbor's bachelorette party. I'll be thinking about you, T.D.! Hope you have lots of fun and take some pictures of the stripper for me. Oops. Sorry. Forgot you gave my url to The Groom. Heh. Kidding, Andy.
