Another Day in paradise...

Today was rather dreary. It was cold and rainy all day. I made Winston (my 9 yoa son) get up and took him with me to do chores. The first thing we did was go to the county annex building and do a bit of early voting. On that note let me just say that I cast my ballot, however pointless it may be, to keep socialism out of America. I hope it works. I let Winston see how the voting process works, and then we discussed the election over some wonderful chinese food. I told him there were quite a few people that will be voting for Obama simply because he is black, and for no other reason. I also told him that there are people that won't vote for him for the same reason. I explained that both groups are wrong for voting based on that principle alone. We discussed how skin color is just that color, and that you should judge men by their acts and deeds, not because they look a certain way. He told me it was just the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover". I felt fairly good about our discussion because I think he actually understood it all. He's a smart kid.
Anyway, I'm still trying to get in touch with old friends. So far I've only been able to reach one. It seems to be much more difficult than I thought it would be. But a lot of that is because I'm not to computer savy. I'll be posting some photo's of me and my family, as well as some of my hobbies. I hope you enjoy.
