What's next?

I hate getting older. I can't recover as quickly as in the past. After I was released from the hospital on Friday, took Monday off to make sure I was ok, went to work on Tuesday and Wednesday was too wiped out to go back to work so took the day off and recovered. Folks at work said I was a fool to come back so quickly, but its a desk job and should have been manageable. Ok, so had to rest on Wednesday and now back and hopefully to stay at work. I have to keep reminding myself to allow the body to heal so I won't have any relapse and that will mean I recover more quickly in the long run.

I did buy myself a graduation present, a Wii game console. Its a lot of fun, but when purchasing it, I was thinking, is this really something I need and will it be a good use of my money? I mean, its a new way to spend money because the games are not cheap . . . . but it is a lot of fun to play so guess I have a new toy.

Two articles in the news I wanted to highlight.

The first is about how an ER doctor in Philadelphia and how he is seeing as many casualties there as he saw in Iraq at an army hospital. There is a war in many of the inner-cities and the price being paid by the victims is high. Hat tip Lucianne.

The second is how the Democratic Party is now admitting they want the US to fail in Iraq for if the US succeeds, it will hurt their political prospects in 2008. I don't know which I find sadder, that a major American political party wants the US to lose overseas or that they are more worried about their own interests over the national interests. Besides, if they admitted they made a mistake, they can still compete by pointing out their views are based on facts and principles and not on pure politics. Hat tip Lucianne.
