MARTY & KELLI'S BBQ WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!

PERSONAL
I slept in this morning until 8am and I awoke to a 2+, after 9+ hours of sleep, and a cloudy morning. I took my am pills, and put my flag out and then settled into my Lazy Boy for 2 quick massages.

Marty’s celebration last night was great. He and Kelli did a wonderful job. I actually had 2 beers. My late sleep and 2+, and the tipping over of my scooter were the effects of a busy day yesterday, and some uneven ground not the 2 beers. I did make the acquaintance of his chickens, they were a great hit with the kids.

I got to meet Mikes teacher and personally thanked her for her interest in getting Mike through to this point. It was also apparent that his “main squeeze” (my words not his), Courtney, was also a driving force. He also introduced me to the cousin of an old friend, Alan Darr, we served on the Wahington State Building Trades Executive Board together, good memories.

I also got to feed my ego, as I gave out many of my current "Business" cards.

Today my format changes may continue. I think my permanent “Hero's” box is up, but the “pay pal” box for direct connections to MY charities of choice is not complete yet, so you will have to go directly to their link. If “pay pal” works the way I want, a donation there goes to me for distribution to one of the many I list in my “Community Organizers” section. I will try to keep a running tally. I will also try to keep posting the direct links for those charities.

POLITICAL

I still don't know what did happen in Astoria? I did get a email from my friend, and sister, Suzanne saying she really liked my letter. However, I don't know if she read it from my blog or if it was published elsewhere.

Come on Salem, Get behind the President, we need that cleaner energy and those good jobs.

The President has called on the thousands of participants in his conference call to observe a National Health Care Day of Service is June 27th and I will try to post whatever info I can.

Please listen to the call, and pass this note on to any of your friends who might be interested:

Health Care Now ! Based on the information I have been getting, Senator Wyden's “The Healthy Americans Act” is Not the best option.

CNBC, and sister Suzanne, are still been pushing the need for, and benefits of, Natural Gas. Oregon Democrats, are you listening?

President Obama, I am still giving him a B+, with that Supreme Court nominee (Yes we Can), but if your Health care plan includes taxing benefits you will for sure fall to a C-.

Bring our people home! At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far?

SPORTS

After last night it appears Pasadena City College is going to get some help on the mound.

The Mariners are hurting and that kid from Butte deserves more playing time with Kenji still on the 15-day disabled list. But I do like 2-1 ball games better than blowouts.

Randy Johnson got his number 300 win and he was lucky enough to share it with his son in the dugout. There have been less than 30 players in the history of baseball that have accomplished that. The way the game has changed that may be the last 300 game winner in baseball.

Jamie Moyer has 250, you go guy! Will you be able to pitch past 50?

Do you realize how hard it must be to get to 250 wins in MLB, especially without a 90+ mph fast ball.

Imagine having played 2,624 games in their history (Cubs - Dodgers) and each team had won 1,312. That still astounds me.

I still hope I get to a Beaver game before San Diego pulls all the talent up.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS

And I still plan to get a permanent link for Denise and her walk/run at, right now you can get there here:

The American Rights at Work ads are getting better all the time.

Are there better Community Organizations than the National Guard or the USO?

OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS

I did send an email to nephew Daniel, and I have heard back, he's tired but doing good. I still don't know if he responded because he got my email or he just had time to catch my blog. I did talk to his Mom and wife last night and she said that she would send me his “snail” mail address.

Please, I hope everyone can share the American Rights at Work, the MS walk, the March of Dimes walk, The Epilepsy Run/Walk and the Recovery websites; so my taxes and donations can be utilized to their fullest extent.

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, G & L gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

And even a special prayer for my nephews Daniel, Christopher, Ryan and all the families separated right now.

Mike; I am just under 900, I'm feeling 3+, and still feeling Marty’s celebration.

Now don't forget to say your prayers, AND I'll see you next time on my blog.
