a 1st

[Full Quiver]

Today my doc told me to come in and get checked up. I have a full physical scheduled for the end of the month because I am getting old and have low sugar issues. The insurance company only wants to pay so much for the physical because it's a wellness visit. The doc said since you are presently having low sugar issues, today was bad, come on in and then the physical will be the result of a diagnosis or tests leading to a diagnosis instead of a wellness visit.

I went in and they are fairly sure I am hypoglycemic. The physical will reveal much more and tell us for sure but I am fairly certain about the diagnosis. My blood pressure was up which was the first time he had ever recorded such.

Anyhow, that explains why I was not at work all day. Now onto the real subject of the thread. I decided to swing by the election commission and see how long the line was for early voting. NO LINE so I voted.

It was a first for me because it was the 1st time I have ever voted for the GOP candidate in a presidential election. I have always voted third party in the past or abstained. I voted McCain-Palin which if nothing else cancels out the vote of a hard headed friend of mine.

I could not vote for Lamar Alexander though so I abstained from voting in the US Senate race. He has bit us too many times and I refused to back him anymore. He should win easily though unless many others do as I did. I did vote GOP in the contested Congressional seat though.

So today, 10-16-08, I am working towards another 15 years of marriage with my wife Wen, am hypoglycemic, and have officially voted for a republican for president.

As far as I know McCain is leading in Tennessee!
