Bless her big bossomed heart, Evil Twin’s Wife left me a note asking where I am. She was looking for an update post-surgery and was concerned because there wasn’t one posted. I’m ok, no worries mate.
I’ve been quiet because I just have too much going on. I keep thinking I’ll get caught-up and be able [...]

I Made it.
I’m here. In one piece. Just tired and sore from the cath.
The procedure went well. I didn’t get into the OR until late Thursday afternoon. Didn’t get home till 11:30 p.m. The doc didn’t find anything of concern. In fact, he told my family that my arteries were “pristine.” There are no signs of heart [...]

It’s here! It’s here!
Oh yeah, it’s here. Today’s the day I hope to get some resolution to my misery.
I report over to da St. Francis NLT 11:00 a.m. I have no idea what happens next. Well, ok, I have an IDEA. But I’m not sure exactly what time my procedure is scheduled.
I slept, fairly well. Not any worse [...]

Veteran’s Day 2008
I can not, in good conscience, allow this day to pass without a heartfealt “Thank you!” to my country’s Veterans.
Veteran’s Day was intended to provide a specific day of recognition to those still living who have served our country in times of both conflict and peace. There will no doubt be celebratory parades, dinners, speeches [...]

My “Will” Be Done …
Alrighty now. My will has been updated, signed and notarized.
Funny thing about actually writing the will. It forces you to decide who gets what.
I don’t have a lot. I have some property, right about 3 acres all told, but in three different lots. I have a couple pieces of jewlery that might be of some [...]

Emanuel — Now There’s Change For Ya! LOL
Oh yea! Change, it was all about the “need” for change. So the Big “O” appoints Emanuel as his Chief of Staff.
Oh gods! I’m laughing so hard I may have a coronary!
President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at [...]

T minus 7 days and change
Oky-doky. I go in next Thursday. Now that I have that information I can make the arrangements I need.
I feel ok about it so far. It helps that the cardiologist is a good-looking piece of humanity. LOL
Just about the right age too!

The Sun Did Rise
I’m sitting in the cardiologist’s office waiting my turn. I noticed that even though my candidate didn’t win the sun still came up.
I felt this way the first time Clinton was elected.
Congrats to Obama. Enjoy the excitement of the win. We’ll be holding your feet to the fire. Hope your supporters can take [...]

When my late father T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948, he famously declared that “Now [...]
