I was gone for four days....four very enjoyable days...(except for the 12 hour "bug" that got me on Saturday morning)...
I'm luckier than most people, I think.
I have family who I actually ENJOY spending time with...I couldn't ask to have married into a better family of good, honest, moral people(not religious, mind you, MORAL...there's a big difference). I enjoy being in the company of people who read; who create; who understand creativity and perspective; who understand philosophical concepts and are capable of seeing those concepts at play in the larger society as a whole; who know the lessons taught to us by the great writers and artists of the past and who can apply them to modernity.
Yeah...
It was great.
Now if somebody could do something about the Illinois Tollway traffic.............
Let's talk about this.......
About Me
- hizzoner
- I have been involved in politics since I was 18 years old....let's just say that was a considerably long time ago. I've been in legislative service, I've been in local government as both staff and an elected official (three times actually). I have an almost child-like belief in the good that government can do and have always felt that it was my duty to make government work for the people it represented no matter what venue I was in. If I have any admirable trait at all, I think it must be insight. Maybe there's something to the zodiac sign business afterall because my sign says that I am supposed to have special insights into people and I have found that it's true....at least thus far.
