I am feeling the urge to write again after a long hiatus. Much in life has changed and I find myself wondering where it will all lead. The time of balancing the state budget is at hand and yet the status quo inexplicably continues despite the desperate economic and fiscal state of our state. Will they ever get their act together? Will they ever care how much each day they don't get their job done it hurts us (the people)? I doubt it. Yes, cynicism has set in and will not be easily assuaged. Ahh... such is the plight of the forlorn and demonized state worker. It's really not our fault you know.

I'm leaving for Washington to visit my daughter and granddaughter again. It's been 2 years and I can hardly believe it. It's time. Much to do and lots of hugs and kisses to be given my sweet girls!

Planning, packing, getting last minute errands done before I leave. It will be good to see them. More to come later...

That's all for now...
