I heard the news today that Tim Russert died. That really saddens me and brings it all home again that none of us as we get older never ever know when the big event will happen.  I hate that thought, but does anyone really like it? It's just sad to me to see people I've grown up with passing on. No, I don't mean I grew up or personally knew Tim Russert, but he was someone I watched every Sunday and in the debates and listened to on the news. He was always there and made so much sense when he talked and questioned people. He was someone I trusted as a journalist and just seemed like an all around nice guy, someone you could just hang out with. Promiment people of my generation are passing on at it makes me feels so much how time is marching on and life is changing.  People like, Henry Fonda, Paul Lynn, Lucille Ball, Harvey Korman, John Ritter, John Wayne. Johnny Carson, Pat Paulson, Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. It's all just kinda depressing.

Had a fight with the wife the other day. I won't go into the details but it wasn't pretty. We've been distant from each other since.  Woman are so hard to understand sometimes. Guys just get it out in the open and get over it. Women like to ruminate about things and ruminate some more, and then talk about it, and then feel it, and then let it fester and  make sure you know how much they've been hurt. 

On the positive side of things I got my INR and homocystiene results back today. The nurse used the blood from the tubing and my INR came back at 2.9 while my machine read 2.8. That's the closest it's been in a long time. Maybe I'm not so strange........:-)   My homocystiene came back at 7.6 which I guess is right in the middle of the scale. My PCP was happy with that and the fact my BP has been runnining consistently around 120\80 or better. Guess all that walking I'm doing is paying off. I've noticed when I exercise my BP drops like this and when I become inactive it goes up.  Went to see my PCP today because of my sore back, he's sending me to a chiropractor on Monday. I've never been to one but I'm hoping this guy can help my sore aching back.

The family went to see "The Happening" tonight at the cheap theatre in Alliance. It was a strange movie and during the movie a severe storm came through and the power in the theatre went off twice and they stopped the movie. We all went out and saw the rain and hail and I was praying my new car wasn't getting pummelled.  Luckily it wasn't
