is now funded. It can be found at:
My still active #15 project can be found at
St. Patrick’s Day brought additional support for my
personal “Ireland Is Calling” planned September visit. Now, if my cost estimate
is correct, it has been expanded from the originally planned 10 days to 15
days. My friends are a continuing blessing to me.

COMMENTARY: HOT AIR BALLOONING
Many writings, particularly those of a political
nature, are not fact based…the following could fall within that category, it
was received as an uncredited E-mail:
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
her
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse
me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air
balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea
level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees,
49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican.
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically
correct . But I have no idea what to do with your information , and I'm
still lost . Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama-Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are -- or where
you are going . You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot
air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep , and you expect me to
solve your problem . You're in exactly the same position you were in before we
met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

MOSTLY ABOUT
ME lswift8@aol.com
Friday
started with Men’s Prayer Breakfast: once again the early morning sleep
interruption robbed me of energy all day. I took some info to Don, picked up my
mail, did two loads of wash, corresponded with Alison, and, later, watched some
boxing.
Saturday’s
activities included a writers group meeting, attending Shirley Denis’ birthday
celebration at church, taking Don to the Legion officer’s election, and talking
to Brian. Then watched a televised horse race: I would have won if I had bet on
it. Also watched some NASCAR racing and some boxing.
Sunday
brought church and Sunday School attendance followed by brunch with friends.
Activities around the house consumed the rest of the day.

REMEMBER
The
democrats brought you Obamacare.
Obama,
Reid, and Pelosi lead the forces of evil.
Hate
crime laws should be overturned.
Baseline
budgeting is a taxpayer insult.
