Wow!! Your dad and I want to congratulate you on your great new position, we are so proud of you and your family,we are excited for you, see! Lord came through for you, thanks be to god.
Yesterday was another blur. The misses and I were both gone most of the day. I picked up the oldest at 1 from school as he wasn’t feeling well and then we went back for Ty at 2:45. Meanwhile the misses was everywhere around town working on her decorating job. She made it home around 4pm just in time for a quick bite and then we were all off to the youngest guys basketball game. Finally at 8:30pm we all walked in the door at home.
This morning the kids take their Valentines Day boxes to school and also have parties. I have a call on a new venture with Germany at 7:30 until 9 or so and then an appointment downtown. Busy busy busy.
We’re pretty excited as our monthly income has gone up around here with my raise and the misses new job and we’ll finally be able to start making a bigger dent in our debt, after we get through the evil taxes!
Emotions have trumped common sense in Colorado with the democratic controlled house pushing useless gun control laws. Thankfully everything people owned is grandfathered in meaning we can keep what we have. These politicians are just stupid, there’s no other word for it. Wyoming is looking pretty good these days.
It’s supposed to snow today and I think we’re headed down to our friends house tomorrow. We’re going to go to the zoo and then have dinner at a great German restaurant that some people I met own. It’s near the Broadmoor Resort and is supposedly quite good. I’ve been gluten free for about a week like the misses and they have a good gluten free menu too.
Before I go, a couple of things about the Pres and the State of the Union speech. I didn’t watch it but after reading it (I can’t stand his voice) here’s a couple of things you should know that I’m going to tell you!
First, when he says “we’ve cut the deficit by 2 1/2 trillion dollars” the facts are, what he’s saying is he’s cutting FUTURE spending over the next 10 years by this much. The fact is he proposes spending 20 trillion dollars instead of 22 1/2 trillion dollars! But they way he says it it makes the average person think he just cut the money today from current spending. His plan will now have us with over 30 trillion dollars of debt instead of 32 1/2 trillion! Unbelievable.
Here’s another example of him not being honest or equivocating. He trotted out a nice 102 year old lady in the audience saying she had to wait 3 hours to vote in Florida. What he didn’t tell you is that she had to wait not on election day but on an early voting day when not many places are open. In fact the average wait time to vote (from an MIT study) nationwide was only 14 minutes! Yet here he is trying to tell us that all the poor black people are disenfranchised and not able to vote by citing this as his example, another great job of twisting the truth.
That’s about it, time to run as we’re busy busy busy. Have a great day and God Bless.
Congrats to you all – to the misses for the great new position, to the mister for his flying status and to the boys for being great students! Sounds like 2013 is going to be a wonderful year!
