Things aren't good. Since 9/11 and everything that has happened sometimes I get depressed about the state of this country. It seems to be getting more and more divided over religion, politics and culture. Maybe I'm just looking for trouble. I hope not. We aren't safer. We aren't liked by a lot of other countries. We don't have a President that is understanding of other points of view. We don't have a Congress or Senate that listens to the middle class. Huge companies are making more money and average people are making less. Housing prices are out of site. The infrastructure of schools, medicine,government programs and law are being eroded by tunnel vision. Three million illegals cross the border and Americans don't want to have PASSPORTS. This country is about a fluid culture that grows with change. Not reverts to the old ways. Change is inevitable and we need to know that. I can't wait for 2008. I ask for a new election now.

See me in prison? Maybe. I sure hope not. This is my free speech and I have the right to say it. I support this country but I don't have to agree with certain policies that are being enacted.

I bought a tan coat with faux fur inside; three weeks later I bought a similar coat for Zippy. I didn't know it until I got home. Help! I've gone round the bend.

He's taking his meds like the sweetpie he is. Unfortunately, when it's cold he poops just out side the garage door. As long as we remember to dispose of it . . . All is well. Did you know they have litter boxes for dogs now? Yep and it smells like green grass.

sure makes me wonder when we can't manage our own ports. This is scary -- is that another thing Americans won't do? According to who?

I can't write about it because I am so mad.

So you think I fell off my podium, eh? Nope. Just been writing lots of other stuff.

So how's that going with Chain-knee? Been reading Geo. WASHINGTON, for a change. "I cannot tell a lie; I cut down the cherry tree."

What have I been doing? Writing, rewriting, going outside and freezing, watching horses run in a green pasture, watching the Olympics, tulips are growing and daffodils have a bud, reading, cooking, oh and best of all, having a romantic Valentine's Day. Hope you did too.

I had some anxious moments this week and it messed with my writing. Now I'm okay. How do you like the Olymics? Great,yeah? But those goofy hats ought be changed. They look like half a baseballe. Makes the head look weird. Who's my fave? Bode and Anton, who else? Kwan, maybe.

Going to see Firewall with Harrison Ford? I might if I can get over my annoyance for marrying Calista Flockheart. I don't even want to try to guess what they talk about. We come from two different worlds.
