HOPE AND DREAD
As we are now about two and one half weeks away from election day, Linden is so hopeful that the start of governmental change of direction will begin. Surely we will be so blessed.

Coupled with this hope is a feeling approaching dread that many voters who previously made mistakes will continue to do so or, even worse, the election will be stolen by the forces of evil. God forbid!

LINDEN'S LIFE
Some weeks ago, I started bringing you music on Friday from the year that I was born (1930.) This is probably the last time I will include notes from my life in the year referenced in the music.

I was 21 in January of 1951. I think this may have been the year that I quite the sales job I had and tried my hand at being a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman: I failed miserably. In December of that year, my closest friend and I enlisted in the Air Force rather than wait to be drafted into the Army. We were together through basic training then took different paths. At this point, I think you know enough about my early years.

On Thursday, Bill, Chuck, Jack, Paul, and I had our regular highly enjoyable breakfast meeting. At lunch time, the Golden Glows had a pitch in luncheon (I bought some cookies to take) and a very good program which involved the church staff following lunch.

After feeling reasonably well for a few days, I had moments of weakness on Thursday. That is somewhat bothersome.

The Indianapolis Tea Party is having an affair here in Plainfield on Friday evening, I hope I feel like attending.
