six

Register to vote. If you haven't, do it.

An unadvertised benefit of voting is the legitimate right to complain. If you don't vote, you are ineligible to complain about any unsatisfactory situations that may arise in the day to day business of the country. The deadline to register for the November election varies from state to state. Check here to find out the deadline for your territory.



When I was in the seventh grade, I came up with a design for a wall mural that was chosen to be painted on two walls at the entrance of the school. I found a picture of one of the murals and also a picture that appeared in the local paper. I appear to be overseeing my artistic servants as they put into place my brilliant design, much like da Vinci I suppose.










Six years ago, Sunday, Sharon and I were married.
Here's a poem in honor.


That was a very good day for she and I
as Sharon is a woman set apart
and I'm a heck of a guy

I love to cook
she likes to eat
she loves to run
I enjoy resting my feet
her eyes are brown
my tend to be blue
I sing like an angel
she laughs at my jokes
we drink mostly red wine
at almost every meal

this poem doesn't rhyme anymore

truth beauty
freedom love
these are ours

our food our taste
our sense our hope
common and bound
together

fine artist seeks
wayfarer muse

mountain mama seeks
back country hombre

my friend
my equal
my wife
my life

I love you Sharon






Have a good weekend, and Godspeed John Glenn,

Dave
