I brought up the issue of Specter’s health in the last posting.  Now I am going to bring up last weeks Hannity interview with Dick Cheney.  I am wondering if there is something with Cheney’s health.  He speaking was the same as always, measured.  But the breathing seemed to be really labored.  I do not know why that is.  Perhaps it was the placement of microphone, but I do not think so.  I think it would explain Cheney coming in so strong in opposition to the Obama administration and their policies on so called torture and the handling of the now defunct War on Terror.  Maybe he has nothing to lose.  I hope his health is not an issue.  I go back and forth about whether he should be speaking out in the way he is. I generally agree with all he has said.

My broken ankle is getting to the point of making me a bit stir crazy.  Yesterday, I finally spend some time outside.  I find mowing very therapeutic.  I always have.  So, I climbed on the Cub Cadet and mowed what we call a yard.  Mostly I mow weeds and then they look good for a few days.  After a few rounds, I switced to using a stick to push on the accelerator and using one arm to steer.  Harder but better for my ankle.  It was only after I was finished that I saw the cruise control lever that would have done it for me and left two arms for steering.  I am so smart. Other than that, I have spent most of my active time on the computer trying to catch up on our ever dwindling investments and 401K accounts.   

Last week, I went out twice.  Once to the doctor on Monday and to the bank on Friday because I had to notarize something.  I really began to feel it last night.  I want to go out somewhere.  I am going to a young man’s Eagle Scout ceremony this afternoon, but I don’t know if it will get rid of the cabin fever.  Hope so.
