Hope to catch up a little now that things have slowed down a bit elsewhere. With this ancient computer and weak wi-fi signal, many times I can't even get online. But it seems to be doing okay for the moment, cross your fingers.

I have to post a compliment to the young man I've been working with on the radio show and charity. He posted a blistering smackdown right in Alex Jones' face on FB today, and of course I backed him up. Having grown up on conservative radio, he had, shall we say, a few more conservative views than I'm comfortable with when we first became acquainted. Liberal in many ways, but not completely so. To see him sock it to Jones like he just did - in defense of President Obama, yet! - made my day. Who knows, eventually he may wind up in totality to MY left! Wouldn't that be grand?
