The Hiatus Ends
It has been several months since I last blogged. That hasn't effected my page rank or daily hits. I still get over 3,000 hits each day and my advertising revenue remains steady. However, the impluse to blog is, I think, a good one, so long as I don't feel that I'm writing screeds for hate week.
For the last few months, I've worked outside of the house while our house's interior was getting renovated. It hasn't been easy for our family. The boys had to tolerate living in cramped confines at our condo. We got burglarized-- a rather nasty tax event. There were also cost and time overruns. However, the renovation is almost done, although my definition of done differs somewhat from the contrator's definition of done. We're awaiting the installation of a backsplash in the kitchen and other finishing touches.
In other news, school has begun, and the first semester has come to an end with both boys getting mainly As. For our spring break, we took a seven-day Disney Magic cruise that took us to Key West, Cozumel, Mexico, and Disney's island Casterway Cay. As always, we had a wonderful time and are making plans for another cruise. Sometimes, I would go to the ninth floor in the spa and work out on the treadmill overlooking the ship's bridge. In front of me was a small plasma screen that each day traced the downward trend of the Dow Jones industrials. I much preferred to watch the flying fish in the ocean below as the Magic cut through the azure waves.
A Life On the Ocean Wave: The Disney Magic
We are only a week and a half away from the election. There appears to be a pent-up thirst for systemic change and deep-seated anger to incumbents, especially to the Republicans. The economic difficulties we are encountering are certainly not the fault of one person or party, as the market is bigger than individuals, institutions, and even countries. However, I think there is an acute national sense of betrayal because of critical errors of judgment and a general lack of accountability and awareness of what Americans want and need, and the Republican Party will pay the price this November at the polls. The idea that Republicans = conservatives = evangelicals has especially bothered me as it doesn’t seem to be truthful. Massive deficit spending, market collapses because of deregulation, and preemptive wars are not acts of a conservative by my way of thinking. What can they be conserving when soldiers are dying and savings are vanishing? And, in the wake of the many Republican scandals, I see little with Republicanism that is more moral that the Democrats. It wouldn’t surprise me that Democratic Party control over the executive branch and both houses will bring in its own problems and scandals that eclipse what we’ve seen from the Republicans. However, as I believe we should never reward bad behavior, I must again vote straight Democratic. But I’m glad we live under a vibrant constitution and I’m glad that God continues to reign.
