Ann Landers:
Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.

Happy November!
It's hard to believe that it's November already. My mother will be turning another year younger on the 6th and my son gets his license on the 9th. We bought a new car over the weekend. It's a 2010 Malibu LTZ. It's black on the outside and gray on the inside. Nicholas will have the Mustang. We are excited for him to drive but worried as well. He has been driving with his permit for a while and does a nice job. Kristina didn't want to drive until she was 18 so we never really worried about her. Oh well, I need to get rid of the leftover goodies from Halloween and decorate for Thanksgiving. Today we are out of school to vote. I sure hope Bob McDonnell wins...he is ahead in the polls so we will see. I will vote later today when it warms up.

Back to work
I had a nice week back to work. It's nice to put on a skirt and talk to the teachers. They are such a wonderful group of men and women and sorely underpaid! We are getting ready to go to Pancho Villas for dinner and have a Mojito! All is well and the weather is beautiful!

End of summer
It's hard to believe that summer is just about over. Nick goes back to school on the 8th!It's beginning to feel like fall. The past couple of mornings have started out in the low 50's and highs around 75.
It is so pretty in Virginia, I don't know if I can retire anywhere else. We have 2 more years before Nick goes to college. If he goes to VCU or Temple we will stay here a while longer. He really likes both schools and fortunately he has very good grades so being accepted shouldn't be a problem...so far so good!
I have enjoyed the summer, it was very fun and busy too! I miss my family and am thinking about a December trip out west.

The President should have gotton his facts first.
The Cambridge and area police unions voiced their support Friday for Sgt. James Crowley and called for an apology from President Obama for saying officers "acted stupidly" for arresting black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home.
"His remarks were obviously misdirected but made it worse yet by suggesting somehow this case should remind us of a history of racial abuse by law enforcement," Dennis O'Connor, president of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, said at a news conference.
O'Connor also referred to statements made by Governor Deval Patrick -- the state's first black governor -- who called the arrest "every black man's nightmare."
"Whatever may be the history, we deeply resent the implications and reject any suggestion that in this case or any other case that they've allowed a person's race to direct their activities. However we hope they will reflect upon their past comments and apologize to the men and women of the Cambridge Police Department," O'Connor said.
