Random Thoughts 3/26/10

• Board Meeting last night at church. That's actually not anywhere near as bad as it sounds. We all really enjoy each other and we had lots of positive things to talk about.
  
• I guess there will be more basketball this weekend. Bleh.
• Chris C. put together a great little Easter mailing for some of the neighborhoods around church. Good job, Chris!
• Stop saying that Teddy Roosevelt was a champion of socialized health care. Yes, that was a small part of the only election the former president ever lost. The Progressive "Bull Moose" Party was a train wreck of political loose ends that undermined the incumbent Republican president and handed the election to the daft, naive (and racist) Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who not only left us unprepared for WW1 but paved the way for WW2. There was another candidate in 1912, communist Eugene Debs, who was really promoting socialized health care and he came in fourth, well behind Wilson, Roosevelt, and then President Taft.
• Day off today with the family. I intend to sleep, play with the kids, take a nap, play with the kids some more, then probably sleep a little… you get the idea.
