General Discussion

I try telling my 30-something son that by the time he turns 45, old aches and pains will stop in to visit his body ...... especially at the site of old injuries, Then, at age 60, they move in full-time, and are far more annoying than tennaged boys!

He will learn. He is a three-time state Golden Gloves champion. Since retiring, he runs these curious 32 mile races. He ran one Saturday, without any preparation. And one of his great pleasures in life appears to be putting 120 lbs on his back, running around my lawn, yelling, "Come on, Old Man! I'll get you in shape!" I get tired driving 32 miles.

Anyhow, aches & pains are holding a reunion in this old bag of bones & lard.

Thank you.

I've posted about these types of things since the Plame scandal here on DU. I've made a number of predictions that having come true. But I've never erred on intelligence, its history from the late '50s on, or even who was testifying in Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury in 2004 on specific days. Davis Shuster used to get my points here, and pass them on to Chris Matthews for "Hardball." Being old and the very definition of pathetic, I don't have the same resources I did two decades ago. But slowly, I have re-connected with a few. They all fully recognize the threat that the felon & cult present.
