After how the summer and fall have gone, I have no at idea at all.  We have some excitement next weekend.

I have a suspicion that the Beltway Swamp is due for a rather-nasty winter weather-wise. I am excited for the 250th anniversary of the US.  Summer Olympics in LA could be great, but it could also be an absolute disaster given the politicians who are running SoCal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Aside:  I&#8217;m listening to this <a href=\"https:\/\/thefp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheFP<\/a> livestream about what&#8217;s happening in Africa, especially Sudan, right now.  The guy they&#8217;re interviewing has a very strong French accent, but his delivery is kind of somnambulant&#8230;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, back on topic, I really don&#8217;t have many things in particular in mind.  If things don&#8217;t get straightened out with the money, I&#8217;ll look hard for a job.  Maybe there&#8217;d be something there that&#8217;ll excite me.  If the money gets straightened out, I will travel up to New Hampshire to see my oldest friend, then the three trips to see my mom.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have little confidence politics will get any better;  the politicians aren&#8217;t going to stop the out-of-control spending until the toner on the money printer runs out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be where I am reacting as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halfway point tomorrow.  Still haven&#8217;t gotten fully on the workout schedule with my health, and travel.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does anything have you excited for next year? Goodness.
