We were supposed to go to Sarasota this week, but canceled because of Isaac -- we'll go in January if we're not snowed in. We've made the right decision. We're just hoping that Isaac doesn't decide to celebrate Katrina's anniversary by making devastating landfall in New Orleans. The only good news in this is that the Mid-West may be getting some of that rain they so badly need.
In this so vituperous election year, I am so very thankful for our DVR and our remote. Do we watch the campaign ads? No. Commercials? No. Do we miss anything? Well, some of the commercials are a little entertaining. :) But otherwise, a resounding NO. What I need to know will filter through and it won't be through Facebook!
And finally I am thankful for a good Texan friend, who a long time ago taught me a very important lesson: Don't get into a pissing contest with a skunk; you may win, but no one comes out of this smelling very nice. Seems this is a lesson that many of us have to learn. Yes, it's good to fight on principle for what you believe, but there's real value in the question, "To what end?" Seems a young friend of mine could have learned this before he angered a somewhat spiteful administrator.
