Happy Barack Obama Day Illinoisans!

Thank you to Jessica Rinaldi of Reuters news for the photo
Happy birthday President Barack Obama. I know you read the blog and I wanted to make sure to start with my warm wishes. Also. Please run for Vice President when the next election comes and then the new President can step down and you can be our President again. I know you cannot run for President for a third term but I believe this loop-hole (running as Vice President and getting the job when the new President wins) would be Constitutionally legal. You may want to check with the brilliant legal mind of  Rudy Giuliani. Coincidentally, I just found out that today Barack Obama Day in Illinois. I am not kidding - it really is Barack Obama Day today!

Jill and I just got back from meditation at the Buddhist temple in Woodstock. I feel so chill right now and I plan to continue to be that way. At the end of the meditation session we talked a lot about living in the present and not worrying about things that you cannot control at that exact time. I am guilty of worrying about things that I cannot deal with presently. I am going to try to take this lesson away from today and live that way and not worrying about stuff so much. After we left there we walked a few doors down and had some breakfast.

I cannot believe that it is already 13:45.
Not a real scene from today's broohaha

I am glad that we didn't wait until we got back to town before we ate because there was quite a ruckus at the McDonald's not far from our house. Rather than tell you about it HERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO of the fight/incident for your entertainment horrification (new word I just made up). One of the people behind the counter is a friend of mine. She works with me at the job that I am still, temporarily, incapacitated from. I am not sure why we still live in this town. There have been so many violent issues here. I know we have a healthy number of people who live in section 8 housing and many people who live there came from from The Projects in Chicago. That is not to say that the people who live in these areas are, necessarily, bad people but some people will pigeonhole like-people undeserved ridicule. I have always been a "every person is different" kind of people. I guess that makes me a Buddhist or a liberal or something, huh? Guilty!

Sorry, I just had to let a spider outside. He was wondering all around the Tiki Room looking for the exit. I am glad the Spider Fire Marshall isn't here because, though the exits seem very clear to humans, I can see where a spider would be confused in this big world. I have never killed any living creatures on purpose; I imagine I have killed many mosquitoes due to reflex though.

I am going to wrap this up and release my right lower leg from the stupid brace that I have to wear when I am in mobile-mode as I plan to stop the mobility for a bit. I don't think just having below my knee entombed is doing anything to help this injury heal. Can an Achilles tendon just fuse itself back together? I am not a doctor but I prognosis is NO! I will probably need surgery and, if that is the case, LET'S GET TO IT! The squirrel is knocking on the Tiki Room window meaning that he needs more peanuts. Thank you for coming by; I really do appreciate you! TTTT...MITM (out) and remember "there is no path to happiness; happiness is the path."
