THE LINE TO REPLACE THE PRESIDENT KEEPS CHANGING -- Just A Minute Radio Tuesday 110524

When it gets past midnight – (through no fault of mine) – my brain sort of switches into ‘standby’ mode.

I keep blaming the machine… and I have a sneaking suspicion (That while back stopped being ‘sneaky’ and just plead guilty leaning back and laughing at me.) the problems I’ve been blaming on the printer and the computer ought to really be perched on my shoulder.

So… I’m trying to work with my genius of a grandson about these things… but I am a morning person… and he is not. So today I helped with some things – including a morning prayer meeting that required an early arisal (how about that for a new word?) But I’m still having problems that seem beyond my ability to grasp and cure.

Now I’ve never been very good at math… not because I love it (because for some freaky reason I do not) but I do like to see things work like they are supposed to and when they don’t I tend to blame the machine. (L) … which isn’t too smart.

My grandson’s name is Caleb. He is the oldest of four boys in Kevin and Janice’s clan of Buttrams and they have lived and ministered in the South Pacific… (I think Hawaii fits in that category) longer than anywhere else. It presents all kinds of problems… but I think most of them are soluble if *I* just have the right attitude. But sometimes – standing on your own foot and wondering why you can’t move it correctly…well it’s sort of a short circuit.

In any case we hope to be out of this state of flux the soonest. I trust you’ll be patient with us. We (Barb and I) truly enjoy having them around… and we’re getting acquainted sooner and better than I had expected.

Once more I’m violating the Doc’s orders not to abuse one’s immune system… which means getting to bed on time – certainly not the hours which I have been using. So… excuse me please while I head for the bed… I am a night worker… but not an ALL NIGHT worker. I recall when my crew had to pull transmitter duty to get things cleaned out etc. etc. I just didn’t function well say between 2AM till around 5… I was OK… didn’t fall down and so forth… but have decided driving all night is NOT an option … as it was when the kids were really small and slept in the back of the Station Wagon pretty good.

Old times..now I’m old… and the times they are a-feeting. Good’day!

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

THE LINE TO REPLACE THE PREZ KEEPS CHANGING

Just a minute: - Every day turns up a new line-up for the Presidential Primary. Meanwhile the present President zips off adding to our oil imbalance every Air Force One minute in the air. His travels don’t improve solving the budget deficit or health care reform.

Every American visiting grocery store, supermarket or filling station has primary testimony of Americans sliding off the mark – always finding too much month left at the end of the money.

Notably absent is any expression of enthusiasm about Mr. O’Bama’s “Citizen of the World” assertion made when he sought to speak at Germany’s Brandenburg Gate. Prime Minister Merkel had to remind him he was not actually ‘head of state’ yet. He’s offended Great Britain by returning the bust of Winston Churchill presented to America as a symbol of the unity between the nations. – He bows to Imam’s – tours South America leaving an embarrassed State Department trying to apologize for his unknowing rudeness.

Sure – we see he drinks a pint of Guinness and stumbles through a few words of Irish/Gaelic – but that doesn’t right our oil imbalance or control our fiscal bleeding.
