Musings from a Peter Pan mind

Mitt Romney… The Rugged Sportsman?

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. I was flipping through the cable channels when I came across Governor Mitt Romney on ESPN’s Charlie Moore Show. Mitt and Charlie were kibitzing about fishing and then went water skiing. How I hate our Governor and his dumb ass grin. He is so obviously trying to show how he is just like the down home, middle Americans, he is courting to vote for him in the next presidential election. He has done that since the day he arrived here in Massachusetts. What bugs me is that he is so obvious about it, and comes across so insincere. Last week he was grandstanding against gay marriage. I truly believe that he really doesn’t stand for anything. All he wants is to be president… and he will pander to anyone who will listen. It’s disgusting. I think I just threw up again.  

Feeling Better

Well I am feeling much better, although awfully tired. They had to intubate me during surgery and they really injured my larynx. I had a constant tickle in my throat. My sides were sore from coughing so much. That has thankfully healed. I have a large hole in my buttocks that has to be kept open to drain. Yuck! I don’t wish an abscess on anyone! I know, I have shared more information than you really wanted to read. I just hope this is the beginning of the end to my problems down there! Mike has been waiting on both me and my mother. I have felt so helpless. I can’t wait till I can sit comfortably. Thank you all for your well wishes!

Happy Thanksgiving

Another Thanksgiving is here! They seem to be coming so fast now that I am getting older. I wish I could say they make me happy, but as each one passes lately, it seems as if another of my beloved family has passed away. This will be the first Thanksgiving without my Aunt Gloria. I hate the fact that our Thanksgiving table is getting smaller and smaller. I miss the days when the house was full of aunts, friends, nephews, and grand children. I have so much to be thankful for, I just miss those happier carefree Thanksgivings of years ago…before my mother had a stroke…before my Dad got Alzheimer’s…before my sister-in-law died…before my brother got divorced…before my nephews grew up and before my brother killed himself.  Yes, we have had our share of traumas,  but no more or less than any other family. The love is strong no matter how many of us are left, but it seems the chorus is missing vital parts. The baritones are overpowering now.

John DePetro Fired from Boston Radio Station WRKO

WRKO radio today fired loose-lipped talk jock John DePetro for calling Green Party gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a “fat lesbian” on his morning show yesterday.

Wow! This is some of the best news that I have heard in a long time. This self serving, smug, talk show host finally got his comeuppance! For years he has made derogatory comments about gays and lesbians. He is also one of those talk show hosts that talks over anyone who doesn’t agree with him… a la Bill O’Reilly. Bravo to WRKO for sending this jerk packing!
