Good morning Sunday!

     Well a good nights sleep after a good evening at Mark and Susan's............it had to be good because not a word of politics was mentioned or brought up, and that keeps things civil with this crowd.  When you have a couple of far lefties and a couple of right leanings and a couple of I don't give a shit's or even know what you're talking about it's best to discuss anything but and that is what we did.  No offense to anyone and I'm not even sure who's who in the mix but regardless it was a very good evening.  Susan being vegan prepared that kind of a meal and it was really good, I could do that without much a problem as long as I could throw some meat or fish in once or twice a week.  I'm sure the meal helped me on my weight loss plan or at least didn't hurt too bad since I had two pieces of some wonderful bread.
     Today it's get ready early and make a quick 3 hours trip to Buffalo, Iowa for Bev's family reunion and then a quick trip back after a few hours in Buffalo to Des Moines.  We'll come back here to Des Moines for a couple of more days and then on to Davenport and my family for a week or so.  It really screwed things up a bit when they moved my reunion to the third week in June, it was much easier when both reunions ran back to back on a Saturday and Sunday as far as our travel plans went.  Hey but we just had to come from Phoenix, Arizona 1600 miles away and most of these folks had to come from way across town!  Oh no...........sounds like sour grapes, oh well we're flexible and have no time table to keep after these events.
     California Chrome.........you talk about sour grapes!  This cat needs to shut up and go buy another $9000 pony, yea lets change the rules for him so he can win.  What's really nuts is this morning he's talking conspiracy and that the powers that be didn't really want another triple crown winner, dude is a bit nuts if you ask me.  Horses have done it in the past and no one said it was an easy feat, you aren't the first to lose it buddy and you won't be the last.  Suck it up dude and shut your pie hole, put the colt out to stud and make more millions on the fine looking pony.
   Gotta go get things ready for a 9:00 am departure.............see ya all later.
