Gettin' Outa Dodge

Finally, the landscape without snow. I understand that it won't last long but it is nice for the moment. Yesterday's rain washed away any sign of a winter with more than its share of the white flaky stuff. Today is windy and colder. Another day of state primaries and coveted delegates at stake. Listening to rhetoric makes one cynical. Today the big news is Obama's mixed message about NAFTA. One thing to the Americans in Texas and another message to the Canadians. Don't get too concerned, they told them, it is just political rhetoric. Thank you, Mr. Obama, for telling us all what we already know and find difficult to accept. You and the rest of them are not to be trusted. That is a sad thing to realize but just when was the last time you knew a politician to follow through with his promises. We are a SICK society.

I'm feeling a big need to get out out of Dodge. Kendra is ready for another visit from Mom. She could enjoy a bit of relief from a baby that doesn't sleep nights. During the day she eats and sleeps as she should for a baby her age. BUT, night time is another story. Sunday night she cried for six hours pushing Kendra and Craig close to the edge. I reminded Kendra that babies don't come with a return policy so she will just have to deal. Good thing that little bundle of humanity is cute as ever and sweet as sugar. Having her in my arms once again will feel so good. I won't leave before tomorrow morning because of praise team practice tonight, but I plan to waste no time in getting there early tomorrow. I need an Emerson fix. Maybe a Kendra fix, too.
