I'm a volunteer leader with President Obama's grassroots re-election team.  It's exciting and I'm getting to meet some great Americans who also believe that our country needs him to be elected.  Join me in this campaign - give me a call.
RESPECT! EMPOWER! INCLUDE! WIN

Sadly our house at 1367 Masonic burned down on Jan. 1, 2012.
It was a beautiful 1902 Victorian that we lived in for 13 years and have very many happy memories.
We had a very welcomed visit from Cisca and Tom Wikkling recently and they gave us the news.
In the picture our house is the left one, Cisca's is left of ours and the one on the right is Christine Brown's.
We loved the old neighborhood and the many kind people we met there.

Politics

So a bunch of old white men are trying to decide how government should be small and still be allowed to control your body and personal life - but not help the homeless, elderly, sick, health problems, employment, or control wall street, banks, mortgages, etc.
"Mumble, grumble, ack, ack - let me tell you how to lead your life" say the oldie but goodie politicians - "you all should be conservative, white, Christian like me and do as I say not as I do!" (no adultery like me, no contraception like me, no abortion like me, no same sex marriage, no this, no that - just do as I say)
We should fire all of the politicians and start over!
We have become a sad nation.

Another day in the desert - cool, cloudy, possible rain, some wind - moody day

Happy Valentine's Day to all.
Cool and windy here!  66º F is cool for us - sorry!
Have a good one!

Pool and Palms, Summer 2009

Newts and Mittens should be able to disagree with President Obama - but the level of comments showing little or no respect for the office of President is truly horrible.  These men and the rest of the Elephant party should all take courses in respectful behavior - including the head of the RNC - Prius what's-his-name - they are absolutely showing the world the worst that is America - small minded, bigoted, self-serving hypocrites - ignorant, hate-mongering clowns.
Isn't it rich........
Cheers to all,
etc.

Last Year  -  Moon in the AM

Another day in sunny Palm Springs.
Mittens isn't worried about the poor or the rich!
Newtens has 46 more states to go!
Rickey wants the issues to be discussed - conservative economics and social retardation!
Ron Paulie is just so far out there - but bless his sincere heart!
The Republicans really listened to Sondheim when he said "Send in the Clowns"!
Cheers all.

Wishing all a good week on this chilly Monday in Palm Springs!

January 2012 - 5:30 AM Palm Springs
MOON IN THE MORNING

Palm Springs - Feb 2009

Did anyone see the latest reality debate - should win best comedy - I never realized that Republicans could be so ****ing funny!

Where are we America - divided, hostile, uncaring, greedy, self-centered, arrogant, impatient, partisan, lacking respect for others whose views differ from ours, seeing the last hours versus the lifetime of a person, homophobic, anti to be anti, not willing to share, not willing to care
I'd like these ideas/emotions to be wrong but......if each of us looks at himself.....some of these qualities will surface....and that is OK, if we reassess and see that we should all want the same things for our fellow human beings, while caring about the enviornment, the animals and plants that feed and nurture us.
Truly, there is much more to care about than just ourselves.
It's the heart of what all religions speak - start with love and move out from there.
