NOT MUCH NEW TO REPORT
The political scene has been interesting so that has kept me occupied. I think I am becoming a news wonk. Like everyone else I suspect I view everything through my own narrow lens, but I think it is interesting to watch people supposedly intelligent enough to be called experts differ completely on their analysis depending on whether they have a D or an R behind their name. The subject doesn't seem to make any difference. If the Ds say one thing the Rs will take the opposite point of view and vice versa. It makes you think that there is very little independent thought going on these days. It will probably come as a surprise to no one that I am supporting the Obama/Biden ticket. I truly believe we need a fresh approach to things and I believe those two will give us that. I wish everyone would join me in that choice, but then, I guess that is just my narrow point of view. I have been having a lot of trouble with fatigue the last couple of days. Of couse Afib, lung cancer, amiodarone and tarceva all have fatigue as side effects so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I have another CTscan next Wednesday so will let you know how that goes.

Hi Daddy,
I agree completely with your observation that supposed experts fail to agree on much. That does seem strange to me. You'd think they would at least see the value in the other guys argument, but they usually seem to think the other guy is flat out stupid.
I hope you get your energy back soon because I know you hate slogging around. I also hope you enjoy Mary's visit.
I'll be in NY on Wednesday but I'll have access to Andy's computer so I'll be able to check your blog. I'll also have my phone with me.
Love ya,
Jeanine
Hi Grandpa,
I am glad that you have some time to be back at politics! It looks like your fingers must be doing better as well - I'm very glad :)
Love you,
Sarah
