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.
