I am Kvelling so much about the showing in Lowell for Trump (On a freezing cold night in Massachusetts) that I am Verklempt.

I am a Cruz supporter, but the Groundswell of support for the antihillary in this deep blue state gives me naches.

Not only did I find out last weekend that I am in the Regional Competition for Bardic and Minstrel with our re-enactment group, but also that my foster daughter wishes to join The Bride and I in living the dream!

Each Obama election, I’d yell
While his sycophants strut, brag, and kvell
After eight years of torture
This socialist brought ya’
Just admit he’s a creature from Hell

A chilly 43 degrees here this morning.

I was looking last night. Turns out Houston has something like 100 days per year above 90 degrees. Doesn’t that sound insane?

they embark for Canonsburg next weekend. They are going to rent an apt until they get the lay of the land and sell the Houston house. Apt rented, they will haul just a few things up with them from Houston.

Home of the Big Macs.

No, really. That’s the nickname of the teams from Canon-McMillan high school.

Some of us will kvell if the courts rule that ATF has to get an FFL the next time they decide to provide a bunch of guns to Mexican drug cartels.

xshub ordered my gun yesterday. the price was excellent and he figured sooner was better than later since who knows what will be trumped up to further curtail our rights.

After the nice, sunny and warmer day yesterday, we are back to gloomy, misty and 46-it sounds like it is cold everywhere today...

Hillary has brought out Bill
That former horndog-in-chief
But instead of a coronation
She’ll be getting only grief

There are many who remember
The scandals of those years
They would definitely kvell
Seeing Hillary cry real tears

She has handed her opposition
A weapon made of absolute fact
While Bill smiles in the mirror
And goes into his favorite act...

That ruined my lunch-and I can’t imagine that anyone is fooled by those crocodile tears-never mind that it shows him to be the wuss that he is-you can bet he had either camphor or onion juice on his hands. I’ll bet Putin and Bibi are both laughing their asses off...
