Mind-Boggling Tidbits

Our President says he is the underdog? The Republicans despise him, treat him with no respect which our president not only doesn’t deserve but impedes his ability to carry out his national and international responsibilities. The President of the United States of America should never see himself as the underdog nor should he be made to feel that way by anyone. It only damages our country’s image and thus all of us.
Amanda Knox is acquitted of murder charges in Italy and is on her way home to West Seattle, our former home. I’m glad to hear it. I also hope she is actually innocent.
Chris Christie says “no” to running for president. He was thought to be a heavyweight for a few days but backed out. He still looks like a heavyweight. Good for him. Mitt Romney is leading the Republican presidential polls????????????? Not impressive but then who else is there?
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement is getting bigger here in NYC and I understand it is spreading across the country. Police arrested 700 trying to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. This seems to energize the participants rather than discourage. Their numbers are growing and they are becoming more assertive.
My young, beautiful, talented  wife, Katherine turned 60 years old on October 3rd.  We both qualify for senior rates now. We took advantage of that new status by seeing Moneyball last night. We enjoyed the movie and the ticket prices. We’ve actually celebrated for several days since it is a milestone birthday. The birthday celebration will culminate tonight with a dinner at Delmonico’s Restaurant with Adam, Katherine’s son, who will be here from Philadelphia. Delmonico’s is a historic and famous restaurant just off Wall Street. Rachel Ray does her show from there at times. Stay tuned for our impressions of quality, service and price.
It has been chilly and wet in New York City. Fall is here and winter isn’t far behind. Tomorrow I fly to Ft. Lauderdale to enjoy warmth, sunshine and the beach at Bal Harbour. Katherine will join me on Saturday.
