Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my sweets!  How are you?  I’m so sorry about missing my blog last week, but I’m still feeling a bit ill.  Everywhere I go, I see people are sick.  The flu has hit us hard this year, and I think there are various strains going around.  Some people get sick for a few days.  Others have told me of it lasting three weeks (!).  Some people get it more than once.  Whatever it is that I have, I couldn’t take it for three weeks.  I can barely tolerate what has already happened to me.  Achoo!

Glorious weather we’ve been having.  Compare us to last January.  You just never know about the weather until it’s here.  I’m sure we’ll see wintrier conditions before it’s over, but I’ll take whatever breaks we can get.

The Packers.  The Green Bay Packers.  Boo-hoo.  What the h-e-double hockey sticks happened late in the game?  This loss is especially difficult to accept because it appeared that the Packers had it nailed.  Instead, their coffin was nailed shut.  I just try not to think about it.  Nonetheless, I love the Green Bay Packers.  There are wins and losses throughout life, just like in football games.  You have to learn how to deal with them both.  In the off-season, I hope our gladiators heal and thrive, and return better than ever.

The spring elections are already drawing a lot of attention and campaigning.  I’m sure it will worsen as the elections approach.  Try to stay on the positive side, no matter who you endorse.  Politics are filthy.  There’ll be much more dirt to come.

Speaking of politics, I’m sure that President Obama’s State of the Union Address yesterday contained many wonderful things.  That said, President Obama is becoming the most obtrusive and intrusive president ever.  I don’t want to live in a world where the government makes my decisions for me.  Surprisingly (to me), I think most people would like cradle to the grave instructions on life.  I’m sorry, but not me, Mr. President, sir.  Please stop interfering in the lives of “free” citizens.  We’re the ones who still believe in the United States Constitution and personal responsibility.  I guess we’re a dying breed.

Finally my dears, here is a picture of an advertisement for an “English Tooter.”

So, what?  A British guy farts for a fee?

Thank you for reading my blog today.  I love the company and I love you.  Madame Zoltar has the love jones for her friends and readers.  Stop by and share the love.

Enjoy the weather while we have it.  While it’s certainly not an equal to a warm, sunny day, the overcast skies and temps in the 30’s are fine with me.  See you next week, my loves.  Absquatulate!
