The thing about Kansas ..

Yesterday, the weather was great. Today, we were awakened by tornado sirens at about 8:00 am. Weather changes at lightning speed here in the Midwest. It is always quite interesting!

Today is my birthday. I'm another year older - 53. Wow. That sounds so old. But I don't feel like I'm 53. I think like I'm a lot younger, at least, I hope I do!

I am having a wonderful life. I am married to an absolutely wondrous man - brains, looks, sexy as all get out. My son is the best ever, and his girlfriend is just wonderful.

My job - well, my life really should not revolve around my job, but I like the money I earn and I love working with my clients.

I guess you could say that I'm mostly pretty happy - despite the ups and downs that just go with life.

I worry about the future - the craziness of those Islamicists who want us to all live under Sharia Law - the manic meaness of so many on the left, and too many on the right, too. I want people to understand what is really important. What our freedom really means. But all too many of them care about only their own, personal issue - hating people on the other side of the political spectrum.

I wonder if they will ever understand that which is threatening all of us now?

Oh, and there are still tornadoes going on in the area. What a day.

Slightly belated Happy Birthday Beth!
Did you really need quite so many fireworks though?

Happy Birtday Beth!

(I wasn't going to tack this onto your "helper" post and you didn't put this up until the ugly weather was on top of my area and I had to shutdown the machines.)

I've been out of the loop for several days and missed this. Happy B-Day my friend. I spent Sunday in the basement. What a day, huh?
