Ready to Roll!

Yep! Ready to get out there and make things happen today!
Thank God for coffee!
Ya know,  I messed with coffee once!  I questioned it's importance in life.
  Years ago, ,  back when summers seemed a little longer,   I worked at a fine church camp as a lowly dishwasher. Better known then as a Hobart Technician!  One of my duties was to make the coffee.  For several days I secretly made only decaf. I don't know why I did it.  To this day,  I swear,  I don't know why I did it.  I was having some issues at that time,  I guess.  After about the third day, people began to catch on. I was confronted by a large,  burly camp counselor.  I still remember him looking at me,,  standing across the counter,, with his empty cup in hand, me holding a mop,,  and those screaming camp kids behind him eating their breakfast.
 He said to me,,  looking straight in my eyes,  "Are you messing with the coffee?" 
I stood silently.   I was caught,,  exposed, right there.  No where to go.  Nothing to say.
He said again,  "God made coffee for a reason, son.   Are you messing with God's coffee?"
His words were like fire!  Me?  Was I messing with "God's" coffee?   Me?   What had I done!!  I wanted to run and hide!   I felt so dirty,  but,   I could barley move.   Terrified!  I was frozen,,,  standing there,,,,  gripping that mop!   His eyes still fixed upon me,  I mumbled something.    I don't remember what I replied, exactly!  Then, suddenly, like awakening from a dream,  I found new life,, and I moved.  I made another pot of coffee fast!   And this time it was real!   It was really real!
Somewhere there's a lesson.

Fond Memories.

So I'm blogging on Townhall!  I love America!
It's June 2008. Do you know where your Republicans are?
I sure don't!
Sometimes I allow myself to dream about the good ol days under Bill Clinton,, way back in 1994! Oh, those were the days!
Newt was the man! Conservatives were everywhere! Conservative ideas were being talked about all over the media. I remember there was even talk about defunding the Dept of Education!  And then, of course, the joy of seeing liberals in congress resign!  Can't you just remember how the media was so depressed?!  Even Bill and Hillary were forced to flee to Europe to get away from it all! Wow!

Gosh,, yes, those were the days. It seemed like anything was possible! The future was so bright!
I was so young then.  Was it really all that long ago? Time sure flies, doesn't it!
Such fond memories.
So,  now,  here we are.
Yep,,  here we are.
Just us.
Not much else to say, I guess.
I'll feel better in the morning. I'm sure I will.
