At the gym (Fitness Edge), it was back and triceps.
My edition of the Good News Club arrived, and I began reading.
In the early afternoon, we went to our son and daughter’s house, and then on to the BurntWood Tavern for dinner: good.

Thursday 26 Jan 2012: Seniors, Separation, Dancing, and Phoning
In the AM, I went to a Senior Voice planning session, and then to a lunch huddle with Claire and Rob of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, on our up coming program.
We had a dance lesson, came home, ate left overs, and then I made calls for Kucinich.
Wednesday 25 Jan 2012: exercise, cars, and politics
At the gym in the AM, it was legs and shoulders, then off to the weekly Dem lunch.
It was a busy evening, as I had both a loco brits (British Car Club), and a candidates night.
I made a stop at the meeting to turn over records, and then off to Sugar Creek restaurant, for a very successful meet the candidates event.
Tuesday 24 Jan 2012: Health and politics
I had a doctors appointment in the am, and then a political appointment at Carabou.
Back home, I did some major organizing in our rec room .
We had a dance lesson with Anya at Avon Ballroom (cha-cha), and then it was the Avon Lake Democrats monthly meeting, where we heard several
dates candidates speak.
Monday 23 Jan 2012: exercising and posting
Started at the gym: chest and bicepts.
Did some organizing at home, and posting on this blog.
Recovering from cold.
Sunday Jan 22 2012: politics galore
To start the day, I went to the brunch at DeLuca’s in the Park to raise funds for Chris Cook for Judge,
I met and mixed and networked and worked the room, and set up a meeting later in the day with a politician, who
not yet be named. The meeting was mano-on-mano, and positive.
We ate a Champs, and watched the nfl on cable.
Sat 21 Jan 2012:stand down and go out.
The anticipated snow storm was a wimper, not a bang
We cooked in, and went to Regal at Crocker to see the Movie “The Desendents”, starring my separated at birth twin in the lead, but it was sold out at 4:30
We saw the movie “Red Tails”, which was intense, entertaining, and educational for those of previous generations.
Back home, we ate the chili prepared earlier, and I rode my bike 50 minutes while I watched the results of the SC GOP CF.
Friday 20 Jan 2012: preparing…
We went shopping today at Heinen’s to stock up in case we were snowed in over the weekend.
Thursday 19 Jan, 2012: doctors, dancing, and democrats
I had my semi annual PSA test, and then lunch at the Cracker Barrel in Sheffield Village, where I had oil and vinegar on my salad. (I wonder how often that happens there?)
(N.B.: a PSA test, unlike the SAT, won’t help with getting into a prestigious university).
We had a dance lesson with the lovely Anya Kahn at the Trendy Avon Ballroom: cha cha, waltz, and foxtrot.
At 7pm, I attended my first Lorain County Democrats executive committee meeting, and after conducting business, we listened to two Congressional Candidates: Jim Sloan, OH-4, and Marcy Kaptor, OH-9.
Jim is genuine, has seen life from the coal mines to the bright days of the UAW, and all of the stops in between: he has lived the real American dream, the one that travels the long road from poverty to the middle class, riding on the highway that unions built. One might say: “I’ve seen Mitt Romney, Jim, and you’re no Mitt Romney.”
OH-4 is a bizarre shaped district gerrymandered republican; OH-9 is also a bizarre shaped district, but gerrymandered democrat.
Marcy (incumbent, and the longest serving woman in Congress), says the R’s in Congress are demoralized.
(N.B.: right – they have no Morals!)
Wen 18 Jan 2012:politics and exercise, in small doses
I went to the weekly dem lunch, hosted by John Hunter, worked on the Americans United Feb 1 event, and at the end of the day, rode my
bike for 30 min.
