1. I thought about starting off this post by telling you a joke about manure. But after thinking about it for a while, I’m not going to tell you, because it stinks.
2. I’ve been reading lately that proponents of gay marriage want the dialogue to change to marriage equality. Marriage equality redefines marriage to mean that two consenting adults, regardless of gender, who love each other, can marry. If that logic runs true, then shouldn’t marriage equality extend to allowing three or more consenting adults, first cousins or even two couples joining together be married?

She has progressed to the point where she can walk with little assistance to and from the dining hall and rehab. Her left arm still remains a stumbling block for her, but she is a fighter. Our prayer is that she will be able to attend my son Andrew’s graduation on June 09.
8. My top five summer foods (5-1):: watermelon, veggies on the grill, corn on the cob, grilled chicken and burgers grilled to perfection.
9. Answer to ‘Are you smarter than a 4th grader?’: 5 tulips.
10. Like me or not, when I decide to do something, I dive in 100%. This quote from Walt Disney sums up me and also it sums up what I will do if I am ever elected to serve the public: “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
