"Owen Boone, Rush Chairman, Damn glad to meet you!"

Happy February!

Hello All,
I am feeling a little wistful after watching the movie, "Sicko" this evening. I thought it was quite subdued for a Michael Moore film...not many trademark stunts...but extremely informative, and stirring my emotions. When I think of how hopeless or powerless people have to feel not to push for changes in this country, well I don't have to look far outside my own windows to see what that looks like. A mess, quite frankly.

Fortunately, I have a many blessings myself. I was out for several hours this afternoon, and Chris was home looking after Owen. When I got in the door and said Hi to Owen, he came right over, climbed into my arms, put his arms around my neck and gave me kisses for at least a minute. Kisses for Owen right now consist of biting the other person's chin or check, when he is not just licking it first. Owen kisses are not unlike puppy kisses...sloppy, toothy and absolutely wonderful. I was laughing hysterically to be greeted with such a welcome home. He likes me, he really likes me.
