CHICK-FIL-A
Wednesday, Linden awakened early, fixed a spot of breakfast (coffee and instant oatmeal,) posted the blog, and was with his first grade Study Buddy at 8:45. Focus today was on doing some word recognition exercises, reading a story and sight recognition of a stack of words. It went well enough that there was time for a couple of tic-tac-toe games - which the Study Buddy won. This will not go on Linden's bio!
Since the Study Buddy session went so well, Linden treated himself (as usual) to biscuits and gravy with coffee at Chick-fil-A. This was followed by picking up mail at the postoffice and at the mail box, throwing most of that away, reading the paper, doing some computer stuff and taking a nap. The nap was preceded and followed by some campaign related activities.
Dinner at Church was all Chick-fil-A food - the crowd was so large that it was served by our serving team in two different locations. Linden had chicken nuggets, cole slaw, salad, fruit cup, a great chocolate brownie and, of course, coffee. It was all very good.
The program following dinner featured Dan Cathy, President and CEO of Chick-fil-A. He gave a very good speech regarding Christianity in the corporate world, played the trumpet very well and showed a good video on the subject of going the extra mile. We also had time to sing a few hymns and to hear a few words from our Minister, Steve White. This was all time well spent.
After dismissal, there was not a lot of strenuous activity before bedtime brought a close to an enjoyable day. Just before bedtime, my twelve year old Granddaughter called with some geneology related questions. I will attempt to email her some information later.

LINDEN’S BOOKS

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” is a group of 20 poems written in a style reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley and 20 accompanying illustrations. This book is little more expensive than a greeting card. Since both the author and the illustrator are now deceased, use Linden Swift as the author name when inquiring online.

“OUTSTANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHERS OF THE LAST 42 YEARS” Published in 1987, this book could be of interest to older baseball fans. Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

New Jersey 1 Camden and Gloucester Counties
New Jersey 10 Essex, Hudson and Orion Counties

New York 5 Queens and Nassau Counties
New York 6 Queens
New York 9 Brooklyn and Queens
New York 22 Delaware County area – 2 Found

North Carolina 1 Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount and other areas

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
