the funny thing is that her senior class has 25 kids in it, and 3 of them are working for Romney from that class this summer, out of an overwhelmingly leftwing student body.

Word for the Day, FRiday, August 10, 2012 - Malediction

The word that characterizes the type of speech used by someone asking Barry Obama if he wants to have a good time?

They got to SanFran airport, checked the one bag, were told they made the flight in time, but rushed to the gate to find the plane had left. We are not sure how the bag got to the right airport, but they can’t seem to find it now. Will have to stop at mall and replace everything. (sigh) Make up, clothing. She is getting no where fast on the phone about her missing bag. They will be getting a refund for the last leg of the trip that they didn’t use.

The two brain cells rubbing together in a liberal’s mind cannot differentiate between this garbage and truth.

Wow, I’m always shocked more luggage isn’t lost, but it is always worse when it is your own. Sorry about that.

I’ve had times where my luggage gets on an earlier flight than I do. It doesn’t come off the belt with the rest of that flight’s luggage cause it’s already sitting near the luggage office.

Cool plates!

After all those days in the 90s this summer, tomorrow is the company picnic at Idlewild and tomorrow’s high is 72. Probably 70 there.

The pool will be a little chilly, but I’m sure Sarah and I will be in it.

The wave pool at the waterpark in Orlando was tame comparerd to the Idlewild one.

The pool in amelia island was like bath water. Next month I’m going to las Vegas with xs hub on one of his work trips, leaving the girls at home with the dogs. We’ve not gone just the two of us for several years, I guess when we went to Vancouver. I’m looking forward to this. We’re staying at the Mandalay bay hotel. He will have meetings and I will be on my own much of the time. The Mandalay bay has several pools and one of them is a wave pool. I’ve never been to las Vegas but he goes often for work.
