Home with a View

I’ve always loved the view at Walden, perhaps my favorite. Unfortunately it has deteriorated significantly this holiday season. Tylir has always had an entertaining victory ritual whenever he wins at a round of cards. To Jill’s chagrin and my pain/agony, Tylir added showing his bare ass as part of his performance. To make matters worse, during our Christmas celebration, Michael suggested to Tylir that he could use a foot rub. I probably don’t need to tell you Tylir’s appendage of choice for rubbing Michael’s feet. I called foul. Tylir can now only show his ass if he wins at a round of cards. At least now, it will only be a rare occurrence.
My other view is political of course. Have you noticed that as health care reform comes closer to reality that the Republican’s primary objections are to the spending cuts. They universally oppose the Medicare cuts in the bill and they oppose any attempt to ration (think death panel) health care. Both are absolutely necessary if we are ever going to get control over health care costs. Any wonder why I’m no longer a Republican.
