Long Weekend

I had this past Monday off for President's Day. It was generally a nice weekend. Carisa and I spent a good part of Sunday and Monday cleaning up our backyard which has been a mess ever since we moved in. We filled close to 20 fifty-gallon trash bags with leaves and debris, dug up 4 tree stumps, and stacked about 50 bricks. The yard looks pretty good...unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture. We still have some more work to do before throwing down grass seed in the spring but we are well on our way.

Besides that Lili came down with a 103 degree fever due to vaccinations she received last week. Monday night she did not sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time so I took a personal day on Tuesday to recuperate.

That's about it...been busy. Reading the news about the Republicans and how they just keep proving more and more every day that they always put party before country. President Obama reached out his hand so that the country could find a solution to our economic crisis together...and the Republicans turned their back on him...some of them even stating that they want it to fail. Thanks Repugnicans! Thanks a lot! Oh yeah, and thanks for getting us into this mess. Great job.

It times like this that I think back to the handful of Republican friends that I actually lost because I tried to discuss issues like this with them...healthy debate between educated adults. Well, they couldn't have that because the facts don't generally go the way of Republicans and those debates actually killed the friendships. I couldn't believe it. I think back to them now and wonder how that debate would go now because guess what...your party sucks! Sorry to be so blunt, but the politicians that are out there in charge of the Republican party right now are despicable and I hope they go the way of the Whig party. Our country would be better for it. Sorry to get so crass here, but they make me sick. Lincoln must have rolled around so many times in his grave by now that he has probably drilled himself more than half-way to China by now.
