NOT THE NEWS LINDEN WANTS

Granted, it is too much to expect that legislative efforts to turn back the excesses of the last four years of a democrat controlled congress be accomplished in the first month of Republican rule in the House…but it is something to hope for.

Big Government displayed three items Sunday that do provide some hope for future legislative efforts: Senators calling for cuts in spending; investigation of Obamacare waivers; and bills to short circuit the EPA effort to implement Cap and Trade. Also, Friday brought a report that unemployment had a significant decrease: Linden does not believe that for a moment nor does he have a great deal of faith in the endless polls that substitute for news reporting.

Maybe when the Super Bowl hype winds down and somebody (anybody) presents believable analysis of the situation in Egypt we will start seeing more meaningful action in Washington, D.C.

LINDEN’S LIFE

Friday: Didn’t get through the snow and ice to Men’s Prayer Breakfast. Got a call from Sharon, in Florida, saying that my good friend, Bob Shelton, had passed away in the night. He had been sick, with cancer, for a while and he had never said a word to me about it. I will miss him…we were involved in several thing together until he moved to Florida about twenty five years ago. It was my association with him that led to a couple of the songs I wrote. I corresponded with Brian and Julie and Sam Friedman about this sad news.

Ray Hays cleared out some of the snow in the lane and brought my car from the barn. I, later, went to the post office and also got the accumulation out of the box out by the barn. UPS delivered a package from Brian…home made wine. Not having a cork puller, I will wait a few days to have my final birthday celebration of the year.

Saturday: Made a mistake!! Parked my car in the usual place and it was covered with a bunch of fresh snow. I intended to try to break some ice today but now it is snow covered. Maybe tomorrow! Donna called to see if she and Kent should take me to church on Sunday…I told her I would not attempt it. Corresponded with a writer/blogger in Virginia.

Sunday: Did not attempt the trip to church, lazed away the day, mostly. Did chip off most of the thick ice that was on the front stoop but the path to the parking area was hopeless. Watched the Super Bowl.
