Unfortunately, I have a brown thump. The only thing I seem to be able to make grow is weeds. But some of them are kind of pretty.

I find politics to be infuriating.

1 step forward 3 steps back.

Fighting the same battles over and over.

Do you think Pres. McCain would have passed the ACA?

Do you think Pres. Romney would have pursued a deal with Iran?

Who would be on the SCotUS instead of Soromayor and Kagan?

Your position is unsupportable, IMO.

I can't imagine how mNy times people on tv are going to say "there has never been an election that will have such big impact on our county's future than this one"


Until the next one of course.

My 18 year old son is an actor. He's beginning his film career doing short films at Full Sail in Orlando. Signed him up with an agent and got his head shots. Resume...etc

He's currently involved with a project where he's the lead in a 60 minute independent film.

He has potential.

The Director is advancing it to Film Festivals and Sundance. It's about Domestic Abuse---and will be released on Domestic Abuse day---Oct. 1st. He's the abuser and it does not end well for him.
