I was feeling quite poorly yesterday. A nasty headache and really I just retreated to my bedroom and napped the afternoon away trying to lose the pain.

(That didn’t work.)

Today is better, but not by much.

For all my friends, and occasional readers, if you are of a Christian belief, Merry Christmas, and for everyone else, Happy Holidays.

I would not have cried a river of tears f the tax rates had gone back to the level that they were at during the 90s, not am I going to get mad if the tax rates remain where they have been for the last ten years.

My personal preference is a flat tax, the same percentage on all persons and all sources of income. Anything else is by definition treat people unequally and that I detest.

Still we have seen what happen when the republicans are faced with a choise of raising taxes on the upper brackets or spending money that they do not have to keep those taxes at the current level. They spend money that they do not have.

Fiscally responsible my eye.

In about an hour we’ll be leaving for LosCon. I shall endeavor  to provide updates here.

see you next week.

I have a headache tonight so my Sunday night Movie post will go up late tomorrow after the Writers’ Group Meeting

I am going out tonight to see Megamind.

I’ll post my thoughts later.

Today I hung out with my Sweetie-wife for the day. We started the day at the World Famous San Diego Zoo. (While I was off have my Vegas Adventure, she had gotten us new memberships at the Zoo.) Sadly my knees were less than stellar and I could only amble around the Zoo for just over an hour.

Afterwards we shopped, had lunch and then returned home for a relaxing day of just the two of us.

Nothing exciting, but the happy little moments that define a happy life.

The point is not “He was a great man and you are a nincompoop,” though that is true.

As I am unwell — but still going to work — here is your Monday Funnies instead of a Sunday Night Movie.
