"Felix,
Jeff and I continue to pray for your total healing. Thanks for the update...please let us know if there's anything more specific to pray for.

"Hi Sarah, I hope you do start a blog and I wish your comments to me were displayed thereon. Language of God...fabulous! Why don't people read it? These are some of my speculations...People are very busy these days. Many have never heard of such a…"
"I see you read the language of God....Wow!!! My daughter is a biochemist and turned me on to it when it came out. Many Christians will have nothing to do with it nor will non-christians. Looks like a few of us have been ..."
"I am not among those people who may be so puzzled. These folks you speak for, who seem to be puzzled by certain persons, would be more equipped to address your concerns than me. IMO Herodotus, Eusebius and Josephus, amoung others, provide even more…"
"I don't know if I underestimate myself or if I don't. What I do know is that I am flawed in a way that continues to seem to be unfixable. I have learned the hard way that once I begin boasting in myself I start moving right own the ladder. So, I'll…"
"I have never known MS to be in any way unactively/impassionately about anything, as that seems to be part of your unique self, to me anyway. What I am wondering is this: Do you believe in God or not? Either way is fine by me and I trust you can give…"
"Thank you Kevin and I will pass this along to my kids. Neither have been wounded and having your own kids over there is trying. Much better for me because I didn't hate the former administration. It was/is much more difficult for those parents who…"
"Not only is it a diversion tactic, since anyone can be accused/excused of being a racist at any time for anything they may say or do, it is virtually indefinable, and so for me, dropping the race card is racism. You can't play a card you don't have…"
"Ocean blue, You bet, white men never did jump very well. Is that inherent? Sounds like you've got the score on stuff for troops. My kid is home now and we expect him to finish college in December. Shaneqwa Francesca Iman Sacagawea, hum, somewhere…"
"Which person or race is better at what, no matter how the betterment may have been derived, whether inherent or learned under good or adverse conditions, is of a lesser concern to me than one's success or the lack thereof when compared to another. I…"
"David is and has been out since before 911 and Jeffrey is in and has been since the Iraq War began. According to the ocean lady's definition of a racist, they both may very well be racist, in that they both doubt that any two people are identical…"
"One kid is out and one is in and that one has been to Iraq twice and, I hope not again before he graduates from WSU in December. NK is North Korea. Dear Leader is Kim Jung Iil. And, how old are you in this "crack-cooking" looking photo?"
i don't think i consider the bush administration conservative, in the true sense of the word. i would probably use other adjectives to describe them. i tend to think of myself as a liberal, but i really would like to see the government smaller, less wasteful and less intrusive--so i guess in some ways i have libertarian leanings. mostly, i'm done with letting other people, institutions, etc. tell me what i can or can't do! so whatever that makes me, that's what i am.
as for the posting rules on this site, i think the only rule is to be nice. other than that, i think you can respond to stuff as you see fit. i was confused a bit about what you wrote because i didn't see any liberal/conservative discussion before what you wrote, but maybe i just missed something.
thanks for the american idol comment. i HAVE wished i was young enough to compete. (though they'd probably give me the ax after i kick simon in the nuts.) is debbie still singing? i don't know if i mentioned this before, but i'm back in a band with the guys i played with in high school--we got together after i came back to NY in '87, and have been playing ever since. i sometimes can't believe people will still hire us old guys, but they do!
hi, jeff. i'm a little confused about why you wrote what you wrote in the context of hope's blog, but since you did, i have a question: do you not consider the bush/cheney administration to be conservative? because they way i understand it, they presided over the biggest federal budget expansion since fdr--after campaigning on a pledge to reduce the size of government.
Positive mental deposits. That's what you taught me. Making positive mental deposits. Debbie was at Emporia, you were at Rome City, diligently courting her long distance, and you taught me about positive mental deposits. A practice which carries over into other aspects of life. Bless you for that.
Wonderful to see that you're still madly in love with her. It shows :)
Much love to both of you.
Yes, I'm good friends with Lisa and Jeff Mackay ... in fact, Lisa is coming to visit me this afternoon ... we are writing a children's book together about her dog, Nick. She and Jeff just celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary. You can check Cliff Adelman's page/e-mail on his website link at this site. Just click on his name/pic, and it will give his info, including an e-mail address for him. I myself am recovering from a nasty bout of diverticulitis that has kept me out of work (teaching) for the last two weeks. Do you mind my asking who your sick friend is ... I was in the Way for 23.5 years, so I know quite a few of the people.... if you want to e-mail me directly, you can do so at spropst@compascable.net ... Susan
Do you ever see Pat and Mary Hughes?
Love you two too...

Hi, guys--we're out of cell phone range for the night which is a bit of a bummer. We're also having a hard time finding a campground that isn't totally booked starting tomorrow! YIKES! I don't know what's going on in the area but the whole RV world seems to be planning to be there. We're working on it but might end up having to park at a WalMart or something--not something we like to do. I'll keep you posted.
Debbie--thanks for your kind words. We pretty much take our house with us and tend to like to just stay on board with all our "stuff!" We're leaving Radium Hot Springs in the morning and have several places we want to see between here and Seattle so not exactly sure when we'll arrive but we'll keep you posted on our progress through Idaho etc. I can't believe you teach music to elementary kids--sounds like a blast. Can't wait to see you both!
