The Vote

I am grateful and relieved for the results of the vote in the U.S. House today. Our representatives (at least the majority of them) felt the economic bailout bill was not what our country needed at this time. I heard the news on the radio at work today, and it was quite possibly the highlight of my day. While I do not completely understand all the intricacies of the plan, I can not in any way agree that our government need to be spending $700 billion dollars on correcting the poor financial decisions of other people. Wouldn't that money be better utilized if it was just given back to the taxpayers themselves. If you were an ACTUAL TAXPAYER with a little bit of mortgage trouble, you could use that money to help improve your individual situation. If you're a taxpayer who was smart enough not to buy a house you couldn't afford to begin with, you could simply get the honor of receiving some of the money you worked so hard to earn in the first place.
On another positive note, I also got my XBox back from Micorsoft today via the man in the brown shorts. Well, I actually got a brand new one as they were unable to repair the old one I sent to them that got the "Red Ring of Death." See above picture for my example of the "Red Ring of Death." A new one is fine with me, though. It did, however, act a bit moody when trying to connect to the internet which made me a little perturbed.
Today was also a fairly pleasant day at work since we were almost fully staffed for the entire day. It's amazing how a nearly full staff can make such a huge difference in a pharmacy...simply amazing! Well, I should be off to bed now so I can get up tomorrow and do it all over again.

Two Good Meals Today

Just another daily update for all my adoring fans...Betty Clair was in a "wifely" mood today and made homemade biscuits for breakfast. She also had a home-cooked meal waiting for me at lunch, too. We had chicken casserole, corn on the cob, and cornbread. That sounds pretty corny when I see it written down. I love it when she is in that kind of mood, though. Not much else that was very exciting went on in our little world today. I did make it down to the driving range to work on my game some today. My ball-striking abilities were not quite where I would like, though. Maybe next time will be better. I've just got to get enough consistency to beat my little brother when I get the chance. That should be in about a month or so. We get to go back to Grand Bay for Neely's (cousin) wedding and hopefully Ryan and I will be able to get a round in during that weekend. Tomorrow, I'll be back at work for a full 15-hour day of filling prescriptions, so there probably won't be any posting. Check back just in case, though. Later...

Just a Daily Update

I introduced Betty Clair to "sausage and eggs" today. This was a meal I learned about from dear old Dad during the hunting trips to Newton. I was pleased to see that she rather enjoyed what I prepared since it is a family tradition similar to those of the Hank Williams family, only more socially acceptable. We also got to see Auburn beat Tennessee in a restaurant where every other customer was donning the inappropriate shade of orange. Well, there was one other Auburn fan, but he wasn't showing it by his choice of clothing. All this considered, it was a pretty decent and relaxing day. Check back later and maybe I'll have something interesting to say

New Hobby

I've decided I need something else to do with my spare time. The clock just struck midnight and my wife has fallen asleep on the couch, so I'll start another day...possibly tomorrow.
