Bad news, Good News, and this sandwich is giving me some heartburn.
Bad news, I got a call from my mother on Thrusday. She told me to head down to the retirement home ASAP as my grandfather was starting to pass away. As luck would have it, when I got there he started to recover. They say his blodd pressure dropped faster than Ted Kennedy in a 10k and his oxygen "enrichment" in his blood was severly low. Basically it means his body wash cashing in the chips.
I don't know how I feel about my grandfather passing away. He tought me to love life and people and the things you give each other. He never address death other than to remember the ones you love and the things they tought you, the memories you shared, and to toast their life with a very fine glass of brandy.
He is also what I call the worlds last gentleman. He tought me to open doors for ladies, to treat ladies like ladies, not to swear (still working on that), spit, speak a poor word about someone (still working on that). etc. He also tought me to care about other people, even if it hurts you some times. He tought me about being selfish and being centered on your self. Care and take care of, the people you care about.
The biggest example was when I brought my son to visit him. He refused to allow my son in the room because he didn't want my little boy to remember him this way. He would rather him remember his great-grandfather cutting the Turkey at dinner. Through all the medication, illusions, and stuff his dedication to his family won out. He is what we forgot what a man could be and I am dwarfed by it. I can only hope to keep learning from him and reflect on his teachings even after he passes away.
He never asked me to be perfect, only to try as hard as I can. I promise to keep trying....
Good news! Well except for a false alarm this morning Rebekah is going to have our little girl any minute now. She still wants to work right up until she goes into labor. I am very excited about it and can't wait to hold our daughter in my arms. I don't know what to say other than "Hurry up" :)

D-R-A-F-T
It seems the majority of Americans are just plain asleep, Myself included! I guess I should explain. I was doing a little bit of searching for a new bill on an oxymoron, like oxycontin but equally as mind numbing, called the "Fair flat tax". I was searching with glee through the Library of congress and looking at all the new and wonderful ways that the government is going to protect me from mean people and shadowy boogiemen when I came across "it".
"It" was in a search result for the previously mentioned bill and the letters seemed like they were burning a whole in my monitor.
1 . Universal National Service Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)[H.R.2723.IH]
2 . Universal National Service Act of 2006 (Introduced in House)[H.R.4752.IH]
I kept talking myself out of it. "Nah, this has got to be some new revision of military protocol or something". I took the plunge and clicked the link......
"No freaking way!" I shouted out. I scared Craig who sits in the office cube in front of me. Congress drafted legislation to force conscription, us little people call it "The Draft". It scares the crap out of most people since the idea of military service is generally ...... well....sucky. Most of us weenies don't enjoy being trained to kill other people in far off lands. The idea of being yelled at in boot camp and the "rebuilding" practice of the armed forces is also not in our top 10 fun things to do. Rightly so, we find the idea of a draft a negative idea.
I would even go as far as saying that if we ever knew of new laws being written to create a draft that a majority of "us" we get upset and do something about it. Maybe if we knew about it, which we didn't. Maybe of our Representatives and Congress-critters had told us about this, which they didn't. Maybe if this hit the news, which it didn't. Maybe we would do something about this, which we won't as long as we haven't voted in a winner for American Idol.
At some point in your life, during some period courage, when it makes sense to you, when you have something to lose, you will have to stand up for yourself!
Here is the bill (below). Go find it here: http://thomas.loc.gov/ and search for "H.R. 4752". When you are satisfied that this not not make-believe look at your hubby or wifey, girlfriend or boyfriend, son or daughter and think about standing up for yourself.
Find your ground here http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/fyi/fyi.htm and give YOUR representative and congressman a piece, and I do mean a BIG piece, of your mind.
(Sorry for the format but I don't have all day to make this look pretty. Go to the gov website for leasure reading :P )
