Oh so you're coming out of the closet!
And throwing your hat in the ring?

Congrats on the fencing son, Uz!

We'll be looking for the details.

It’s going to be 40 degrees today—about time, we were promised a break, but got 3 inches of sloppy snow. It is not cold for me, 30 degrees call for sweaters, but Flexy needs at least some sun and above 45 degrees to venture outside. After this grueling winter, we don’t need to cope with a cold, or worse, pneunomia.

I’m not going to look up for a birthday song for me—it’s bad enough that I am obliged to remember my birthday this Saturday. Kids, husband, brother won't ignore it, even though, they know how I feel about it.

Ah now, birthdays, I tend to forget my own, sometimes have to pause to remember the date.

But it's so good to be alive eh? And Mago, I know that whatever the birthday might be, in your mind and soul you're running like a deer down a dusty lane, past flowering meadows, laughing and shaking your ponytail at someone trying to catch up.

Conner,
No, I'm not throwing my hat in the ring. At this point I am trying to raise political conciousness, among other things. Slow and steady. Winter menu- hearty soups. Summer menu - salads. Alcohol will be served, but I don't expect it to be very popular at lunch time.

Ms.No,
This judge was just reelected with numbers approximating 20,000 yes and 14,000 no. A poor showing which can be interpreted as a strong statement concerning this particular judge, or part of the general backlash against the judiciary and legislature here in PA. There is quite a bit of political hoopla going on the PA right now. The pay raise that was snuck through in the middle of the night has excited the peasants for the moment. From my morning paper -- Casey to justices: Legislative pay raise was illegal Casey is the state treasurer and had challenged Lynn Swann for the Republican gubinatorial position. The Repubs apparently had Swann in mind from the beginning and Swann is now the man.

Thanks, Arky. I was sent a picture of the medal winners via email. I expect there is a way to post it on the Mote, but it would take me half a day to do it.

I got my politics wrong. Casey is a dem challenging Senator Santorum. Scranton gave up a challenge to Swann.

My advice if you're interested in political activism for a particular cause is not to run for anything. Instead of helping your cause more, you constrain your ability to work for it and the amount of time you can devote to it.

18794. Magoseph - 3/8/2006 3:17:36 PM

Mac, what an uplifting and pleasant birthday thought, such as I have never before received. Thank you very much, Mac.

18795. Macnas - 3/8/2006 4:00:51 PM

My pleasure Mago.

Truer words were never spoken!!

Happy thirty-ninth birthday, Mago!

18798. wonkers2 - 3/9/2006 12:09:42 AM

The Cap'n sez, "May you live as long as you want to. And may you want to as long as you live! How about a little birthday cruise on the Tomater Sloop?"

18799. anomie - 3/9/2006 12:15:26 AM

Thirty Nine? Life shall begin for you soon Mago. Happy Birthday.

18800. arkymalarky - 3/9/2006 12:15:53 AM

Happy birthday, Mags!

I'm posting from my car on wifi.

I love this.

18801. Jenerator - 3/9/2006 12:26:33 AM

Mags,

You sexy beast! Happy Birthday!

18802. alistairConnor - 3/9/2006 1:09:02 AM

Not while you're driving, I hope, Ark...

18803. Magoseph - 3/9/2006 1:20:45 AM

Sexy beast, moi? Jen, I'm no Ben Kingsley, but I'm a sexy belle, you know--ask Judith.

18804. Magoseph - 3/9/2006 1:27:16 AM

Wonk, Arky, anomie, thanks for the good wishes--I'll be mourning this Saturday and I may just wear the burkha my sister-in-law sent me last week.

18805. wonkers2 - 3/9/2006 2:16:55 AM

The Cap'n sez, "What about me?"

18806. arkymalarky - 3/9/2006 5:29:36 AM

It's the only way to fly, Alistair!
