I just got back from my usual Thursday routine of Heidi's Pies and the library story time with Annie. Julian will not be home until Saturday afternoon, so I went early to help Vanessa get the kids ready to go out. They were both real good this morning, so everything went well.

Yesterday Comcast finally helped me get my converter boxes working for my two TVs. They shipped them to me a couple of weeks ago, and I did everything the directions said, but they would not work properly. Finally they got their act together, and although I did everything the same as before, with their representative observing I got them to work just fine. It is a relief to have that over with.

Last night I watched a DVD of the movie W., an Oliver Stone movie that is one of his best. I give it 5 stars. It has a terrific cast that do fantastic jobs playing the real characters in Bush's inner circle. It is all based on available public information, and I expect that republicans will have a hard time objecting to it, even though I expect they will not like it. It was a downer for me to watch the mistakes that our country tolerated to allow this shameful period to transpire. I thought it was great to have Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side" play during the end credits.
