What's a guy to do?

     Post election analysis is terribly tedious for me. Hatch lost. This makes me happy. He must be kept far away from power of any kind. Let him pretend to write legal briefs for some obscure law firm,that's all.

    President Bush has apparently consulted dad. Not a good sign in this case. I feel a sickness rising in my gut. Jim Baker is an answer to nothing. Pragmatists and war are a lethal combination. If we have no will to fight over there we must come home now. Not another funeral please.

    It is hard to ingest the truth that bin Laden was correct about us. We have no warriors at the top. Just men who wish they were as they send proxies into harms way in order to feel tough. Please God save us from these empty men.

    I am resigned to just work. One day last week I worked more than 24 hours straight, taking food and beverage on the fly. A bag of nuts and a Mountain Dew for caffeine. I do not recommend this but it is my life. It leaves almost no time for blogs or keeping up, or seeing my wife and daughter let alone visiting with them. It is my life, decisions I have made have reduced me to this. I am clawing back to a point where just perhaps my name will be restored to where it once was. 

    And someone wants me to make a call about bedsores. I am being encouraged to tell my story yet again. This party may have an interest. He is caring for a family member who is at risk for bedsores and is able to afford doing something about it. Nothing tires me more than this. Hard labor for long hours is downright exhilarating compared to the thought that I would recount this story yet again. And that is because I could not survive my hopes being raised again. I have this story to tell, this earthshaking story to tell, yet only empty suits prevail where something might be done about it. Who am I against these empty suits? Just a guy reduced to common labor in order to take care of his own against such long odds.

    But then maybe this is just the right thing after-all. There is more to my story after this episode runs its course. My behavior while enduring is the key. It's the key for us all.

    If there is anybody out there an email would be welcome.
