Tonight at 9 PM is the first Presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be interesting to see what happens between President Joseph R. Biden and former President and current felon Donald Trump. I am hoping for a good result for President Biden tonight. He might just have to be clear and focused to do well while the other guy might lose his cool like he is known to do. Trump can jump in a lake for all I care and take a few of his cronies with him.
Friends, It’s 6 months until Christmas. May this message give you some relief from the heat and joyous tidings. If you need a Christmas fix there is always Christmas in July that is celebrated by some just for the fun and festive vibes.
I am a man of a certain size and I need air conditioning to make it day-to-day. Keeping cool is the rule. This heat and southern USA humidity is just awful. This is why Summer isn’t my fave. I am already ready for Fall.
It’s time to start a new week. Let’s see what adventures we can have in the days ahead. Try to enjoy some coffee or tea this morning. Have a great day and week ahead good people.
I am a big fan of the Public TV series “This Old House”. Its creator Russell Morash is an icon who also created many how-to shows on Boston’s WGBH public TV station including “The French Chef” from Julia Child. I am going to be bold to say that without Russell Morash the modern home improvement and food TV scene would not be the same. He was influential and creative. Russell died on Thursday at age 88. There will never be anyone like him again.
I am a believer. The 10 Commandments are important. They don’t belong in a classroom where people from all walks of life are there to learn and grow as people who will hopefully change the world. Imagine if the same effort to put them there was put into our public schools to make them places where children can get a quality education in a safe environment.
Also, some of those kids come to school hungry so being sure they are fed so they can perform as students who need to know stuff so they can get a good job one day. The 10 Commandments won’t make that happen.
Perhaps teaching religion at home or in a house of worship would be better. I’d rather see someone’s faith acted out in service rather than on the wall of a school classroom where other stuff should be.
