The 21 Century!

So far...it has not been a day at the beach!

The Good!

• 30th & 35th wedding anniversaries!
• Two new son-in-laws
• 1st grandchild (prompted me to start this blog)
• 2nd grandchild on the way. Romell will be a big brother!
  UPDATE:   Unfortunately...it was not meant to be!
• Barack Hussein Obama! I never thought I'd live to see that day.

The Bad:

• Y2K
• dangling chads
• George Bush - you knowingly lied to us!
• Weapons of mass destruction...NOT!
• Mission accomplished??? Not!
• A 2nd term...you gotta be kidding me!
• Dick Cheney - see Bush
• Donald Rumsfield - see Cheney
• John McCain...you introduced Sarah Palin to the world!
  
• Sarah Palin
• Mitch McConnell
• Mahmoud Ahmaddinejad
• Michele Bachmann
• The US Defense budget - exceeds the total of the next 20 largest defense budgets worldwide
• The Great Recession
• The Birthers
• The Teabaggers
  
• losing 4 jobs in 4 years!
• short sale on Florida condo - ouch!
• The value of my 401K

The Ugly:

• September 11th, 2001
• Osama Bin Laden
• Iraq War
• Katrina - "You're doing a heckuva job Brownie"!
• The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
• Al Qaeda
• The Haitian Earthquake
  
• H-pylori lymphoma (stomach cancer) - I survived!
• Nephrectomy - a tumor...so they took one of my kidneys.

I'm sure I'll think of others. Like I said, goodbye and good riddance!
