"A good day..."
1. I woke up to cool, yummy weather! (again!)
2. Sat under a tree during my lunch break and heard birds singing above me.
3. Made more "Free Hugs" signs and "Moms for Obama" signs for Saturday's road rally.
4. Saved a crab... YES, a crab!.. from our backyard and took him/her back down to Key Biscayne so he/she'd not get eaten by one of the many stray cats that live near our house. :-)
5. Watched Obama's 30 min infomercial and cried w/joy knowing how happy I'd be if he became president!
6. Fell asleep snuggled up under 2 layers of sheets, next to my wonderful wife with the last words "I love you" in my ear as I drifted off into la-la land.
Now that's.... a good day! Hoping you all had a wonderful Wednesday too!

Mask, kitchen appliance and nudity. Why not?
I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I got up and puttered around until the World Series finished and then watched the Obama infomercial on the Internet. I was exhausted in the afternoon, so I laid down for a short nap and woke up at 10:00 pm. So, now my sleep schedule is entirely up-side-down. Arghhh!
