Tuesday Ramblings

Just some thoughts for the day:

• My fractured rib is actually starting to feel a little better today — it was pretty bad the past few days, but I got up this morning and didn’t immediately need to reach for the Motrin to make up for the night time meds wearing off…..good sign! It still hurts and I sneezed about an hour ago and it brought tears to my eyes, but over all, I do think it is making some major improvements!!!
• I read Irene Harvley-Felder’s review of the Mark Twain show at the Temple Theater and am even MORE anxious to see it than I already was!!! I can’t wait!!! I am going on Sunday, so my review will be of the final showing and won’t be able to serve as a way to raise interest and get more people to go see it. So — my plea to anyone reading this blog is to go read Irene’s review in today’s Herald — she did a beautiful job on it!!! If you don’t have access to the Herald, then just take my word for it (and Irene’s) — this show will be well worth your time and money!!!
• I’m making a pot of chili for dinner — yum!!!
• My home state of NY has made national news in the past day or two — but not for good things! He has been implicated in a prostitution ring and arranging for a prostitute to travel across state lines to meet him in a hotel in DC………another politician who holds the world to one standard and himself to another one — a standard with little or no moral back bone!!! Why was I surprised — oh, yeah – I really WASN’T surprised!
• As I watched the clips of the NY Governor admitting to his indiscretions and apologizing publicly to his family, I found myself watching his wife more than watching him! I hate that they always put the spouses next to them when they give their “I know I shouldn’t have and I’m sorry I did” speeches…..how humiliating for them!!! The intent is to put on a good public face so that the politician can say that they have the support of their family through whatever difficult time they are going through. I always imagine that as soon as they get off camera and out of view of the media that they pull away and give them the piece of their mind that they deserve! When watching the wife in the recent clips, she looked like she hasn’t slept in days and could barely bring herself to look at him! I can’t imagine getting news like this under normal circumstances – but to hear that your husband has been soliciting prostitutes under such public settings – man, not even imaginable!!
• The TV show “Medium” was on last night with a whole new show – hurray, the writers are getting some work out!!! I looked forward to watching it and really wanted to see it — but, it comes on at 10:00 and by the time it started, I was crashed and snoring on the couch! (yeah, I admit it – I snore from time to time…….) So, I missed it!!! ;-(
• Tomorrow night, Top Chef starts a new season — I sure hope I can stay up until 10:00 to see it!!! I set the recorder for that one — just in case……..

I guess that’s all that I have on my mind for the moment…….
