A horse of another color.  Seems as good a title as anything else this morning.  As it turns out, I did have a horse in the Super Bowl.  Based on totally unscientific and anecdotal results, the Giants winning the game will ensure that we get a Democratic president.  Nothing that says just because A precedes B means that A causes B, but it is worthy of note.  By the by, I thought the game was fun to watch in spite of protestations by the local talkers.   I also liked the commercial that featured Clint Eastwood.  It  was  great and on the same theme as the talkers, I too wanted to stand up and salute.  See, I can find a place to agree withe the right-wingers.   It has been said that today will be another beautiful day here in GH, but, since the Sun isn't up yet, I can't testify one way or another.  Cooler later in the week, but for today, sunny and warmer, with a high in the mid-forties. I'll take that on February 6.  Like always, Mary wanted to listen to the local talk radio station over night.  As I have mentioned, she falls asleep, but I stay awake and listen to the right wing mafia tell us why the president's health care plan will be the ruination of America and there won't be any America for our grandchildren, etc., and we need to get that man out of the White-house, blah, blah, blah.  Or is that yada, yada, yada.   I also learned that he and his HHS secretary are staging an all out attack on the church and that too can't be allowed to happen.   Whatever, it all sounds the same after a while.  They get their talking pints mailed to them and they are off to the races.  This is the same group of people who lament the fact that they are so underrepresented, and they need to take back the airwaves from the lame stream media.  Sheeesh!  Anyway, also on that same station was a man talking about 30 Lessons for Living, his book.  While I am enjoying life now,  I sometimes wish that I had done things in a different order.  I have no regrets, but as he said, what seems important at the moment when you are young, may not be when you get older.  That's not everything he said, but the idea is that you need to love life as though it is finite.  I think that Steph and Adam are getting it right everyday.  Trips to exotic places, indulgences like radio controlled cars and helicopters, etc.  are just a small part of the equation.  Life is too short and we really never know what the future may bring. This also led to a discussion about people who give up on marriages, instead, choosing to live alone or seek out one spouse after another.  The guest's advice was to ride out the rough spots and to seek out people to marry who share similar views to your own.  He believes that opposites really do not attract, just annoy.  I have to agree with that part of his observations.   I've always said that sooner or later, the looks or physical attraction will probably fade.  Then, it is time to talk to someone.  With nothing in common you will have nothing to talk about and the end result will be a dissolution of the marriage.  Wow, what a revelation  Oh well, tea time.
