am still trying to stay informed. Currently reading Killing Kennedy, by Bill O'Reilly, Ameritopia , by Mark Levin, The Communist , by Paul Kengor Ph.D. 

Working slowly on Marine  , and  Brute  a book about Victor Kulak.

 Finally a book Called,George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior , which includes Washington's Farewell address at the end of his presidency,Army Retirement Address to the Continental Congress, First Inaugural Address,  and his Farewell to the Armies address Nov. 2nd 1783. It is always stressful to stay focused on reading,but I think it is necessary to be reminded of who I am while still living 12 years in a foreign nation with little or no personal feedback on a daily basis. ( By the way this book cost 6.98 )

I have voted by FAX From Mexico to Orange County California, by special permission for citizens living outside the USA. I voted for a NEW hope and change.

I have written three Haiku to go with three paintings.Some people liked them. Truth be told it was too easy, I can't see how it can be called an art form.

I have been very upset by the Benghazi incident so I have followed every ounce of news available since 9/11/2012. There is much more to be heard and done here.My prayer is for someone it the main news media to run with true inside story.

I am happy for your Vacation . Thanks for sharing that.

Sincerely,
