Random Thoughts for February

I have never been known for my ability to sing, other than how much of a lack of ability I have. But I want to thank Teddy Kennedy for letting me know that there are people who do sing even worse than I do.

Speaking of Senator Kennedy and his song, did it bother anyone else that a UNITED STATES senator singing a song glorifying another country and pandering at one of the lowest levels for the votes of a cultural demographic.

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the Shillary Clinton campaign strategy meetings. If the stories of her temper are true, I bet she could put some of the most hot tempered football coaches to shame when it comes to a good ol’ fashioned butt chewing. Did anyone say peel the paint off a wall?

Still on Shillary, I have heard no less than five radio talk show hosts or callers to their shows apologize to sailors for comparing their ability to use profanity with the former first lady. I get chills just thinking about the combination of the language and her shrill voice.

As February winds down, we get closer to the excitement that is March Madness, the NCAA basketball tournament. March Madness and the Super Bowl are the two sporting events that get extraordinary attention even from non-sports fans. Have you started thinking about your bracket yet?

Baseball Spring Training started this past week. Grapefruit and Cactus league games begin this week. And in about 5 weeks, the regular season begins. The great thing about this time of the year for baseball fans is that, no matter which team you pull for, there is the hope that this year is the year. Come the end of October, fans of 29 teams will be disappointed. Look out, I know this is the year for my Houston Astros!

Why do people that park their shopping cart so it blocks the entire aisle seem irritated when you say, “Excuse me” while trying to pass by?

I really need to be more understanding with people that say they could never give themselves a shot. That is a common reaction I get when I tell people that I give myself 5 shots of insulin a day for my diabetes. I need to be understanding because I used to say the same thing. To this day, I hate the sight of needles but I have learned to not think about it. Just hurry and get it over with. You truly do what you need to do. Especially when it involves your health.

If you are one of the people that wants to take the “outrageous profits” from evil corporations, just remember, it is the consumer that will end up paying more. In other words, you and me.

Speaking of corporate profits, it amazes me that so few politicians seem to know the basics of economics. I would love to ask one of the two current Democrat Presidential candidates to explain the difference between profit and profit margins. I have a 5 dollar bill in my pocket that I would wager that they couldn’t answer in the spur of the moment.

Until next time, think positive, happy thoughts. Combine those thoughts with a smile and you can’t help but feel better.

KEEP SMILIN’!!
