Ellen's Nest

St. John, USVI

I just can back from a week in St. John.  It was so much fun!!!  Mike and I went with 6 other people and rented  house with a fantastic view.  A friend put the trip together and did a wonderful job.  The people there are all so nice.  (Except one nurse in the clinic there.)

I sprained my ankle on the second day - no, no drinking, 8:00 am in the morning, probably no coffee.  I fell off ONE STEP.  I heard my ankle crack big time for about 10 seconds and I must have yelled, because everone came running.  I don't remember that.  I've never done any thing like that before.  Someone made the comment that there were no bones protruding - I think I couldn't have handled that...   We all went to the "ER" and the x-ray machines don't work on Tuesday and Thursday.  They wanted me to take a ferry to St. Thomas and go to the ER there - an all-day affair, on a bad foot.  No thanks!  I never knew if it was broken or not until I got home  week later.  It was swollen and numb, thank goodness.  What a way to put a damper on the trip.  The nurse said my friends needed to leave because it was going to take too long, but she implied they were troublemakers.  They probably were.  Crutches and all, we had lots of laughs. 

Lost My Name, Lost My Password

Maybe, just maybe, I'll write now.  I need a change.

All the President's Men

Or what's left...

The Same Mistake

"Son, you're making the same  mistake in Iraq that I made with your mother. I didn't pull out in time..." 

Too cute

Just Listening

I'm listening to the asshole on the television right now, and he's sweating.  All of a sudden he wants to "work together", he's letting his anger show to reporters, and he's very uncomfortable.  The emperor is being questioned and he doesn't like that.

He wants to make sure future presidents are "capable of waging this war."  He also asked the reporters if they "think he is nuts", and of course, Rummy is gone.

Nancy Pelosi is 3rd in line to be president.  That must drive him crazy, and he's finally going to Viet Nam, 37 years too late.  Now he can say he's been in Viet Nam.

As usual, he's saying a lot of nothing.

Hooray!!

Rummy's gone! (Gates is in???)

Is that sweat pouring out of the monkey's pores?

I Voted!

I voted.  It was worth blogging about.  We're that much closer to ending this mess.
