Some tidbits.

Richard just got his edition of the AARP magazine. Opie is on the cover. Something is so terribly wrong with that. (They keep sending membership information to Dad at my address. You’d think they would read the obituaries to avoid these costly errors! I mean really, how many R.M. Cornelison’s can there be!)

It’s finally hitting me that we aren’t doing a horse show this year. My last 17 Father’s Days spent slinging hash; what will I do this year?

Dick Cheney has come out in support of gay marriage. Do I need to rethink my stance? No, it is sincerely good to see a man of such a divergent political stand from mine love his daughter enough to question the all encompassing message of the right. Thank you, Mr. Cheney. We don’t see eye-to-eye on much, but I commend you for your love of your child.

370,000 people died of AIDS in South Africa in 2008. I can’t be the only person in America who cries when s/he hears that statistic.

Ain’t it kind of funny that Governor Pawlenty of Minnesota has announced he won’t run for another term? Judging by the state’s standard of electing senators, he really shouldn’t have to announce his intentions about running for governor in 2012 until mid 2014.

To all three of you who read my blog with some minor regularity: Thank You. I blog for me, but I’m glad you came along for the ride!
