I was expecting good news from the doc today about bringing my wife back from the hospital. No such luck. Infection still present. Maybe Monday the 26th.
I've spent other Christmas days away from my family. But this time I'm at home by my self reading the Blogstream comments.
Oh well. Life goes on.
The thought of one of my Christmas days when I was a kid in Texas brought a smile to my face. The reason for this is that back than I lived in a one bedroom home with four brothers and one sister and my mom and economically disadvantaged. Now I live in a two story, four bedroom home In San Diego,Ca. with my wife and not economically disadvantaged. I think I was happier then.

Been reading and listening to what people have to say about ID. I've come to the conclusion that it does not matter how much it is discussed, legislated or ignored it is just another idea that will soon pass by way of another idea that will hit the proverbial fan. We are so used to talking about the latest ideas that are sensationalized by the all the media. If it ain't Abu Garib, Mrs. Shivo, that lady protesting for her dead son in Crawford, Texas, ANWR, Iraq, on and on and on ........What we all need to do is take care of ourselves first. Lets straighten out our ideas and lightly tread on others. Of course there are exceptions to the general rule.
Always.

Maybe Mr. Saddam should be nominated for an Oscar for trying to convince people that he was tortured by American soldiers. If he wants to describe torture maybe he could start with the justice that the Islamic murderers of the Korean hostage, Armstrong, Johnson, Berg and Pakistani beheadings. The trial is a waste of time.

Twas a few days before Christmas and under my tree is only the tree apron.
I don't have time to do my shopping 'cause I've been at the hospital. At least New Yorkers have the time to shop.
My wife's been illing since the 10th of November. I guess that's better than those illing from 11th of September.
Spent turkey day also in the hospital. Oh, and thanks to the YMCA volunteers for the pecan pie.
Been talking with the doc tonight and he thinks we could be home before the 25th of December. Our children and our children's children would certainly be over joyed but not more than I. I'm tired and sleepy and wishing I could go back to work before New Years day. But most of all I wish my wife was here in bed asleep as I write these rambling thoughts. So off to sleep I go to get up and face the hustle and bustle of Ward 4 East. I also wish that the other sick people in Ward 4 East can be home before the 25th of December. Unfortunately they will only be replaced by those that will not be home for Christmas. Quite frankly, quite frankly maybe we won't either.

Why wait till last minute shopping starts. Time to rumble in the jungle. The Transport Workers Union wants to hold the people of New York hostage. The Union is basically saying give us what we want or else we'll make your Christmas shopping difficult.
What these two sides need is a unpartisan mediation panel to settle their differences. Kind of reminds me of the P'ticks in Washington. They think this world is a Burger King drive thru. Guys you can't just have it your way.
