In the morning

After I’ve thrashed around all night, things rarely seem as bad as they did when I went to bed. A case in point is my FEV1 (that’s lung function for those who don’t speak Transplant). This morning mine was 4.18, up from yesterday’s 4.12.

I only voted Democrat once in my life; the first time I voted in a Presidential election. Still, there have been some good thoughts from that side of the road. “The Buck Stops Here” sign that Harry Truman put on his desk, for example. And something FDR said in his first inaugural address that I keep trying to keep in mind:

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
