Hey, Y'all
I have just realized that I have missed one...Find a few library related blogs/news feeds. I hope that a late entry will count, because I am not sure how that happened. Anyway... I did find a couple of feeds...the Shifted Librarian, Unshelved, Resource shelf, etc. But my favorite wasn't a library one...but Shorpy's Photo Archives. Loads of fun, there.

Day After
Hey y'all,
Well, what an exciting election day. All those voters turning out, all those peaceful (but loud) rallies, and the great speeches, both McCain's and Obama's.
Historic. I don't think that I have ever seen such excitement over an election in my life, and believe me, I even remember when Kennedy was elected! This was just amazing. As early as I got up yesterday, I still stayed up until Obama had finished with his speech! I am one tired puppy. I don't regret it, though. That was one great election.

Voting
Hey, y'all
It is election day. I got up extra (EXTRA!!) early, went to the poll extra early, stood around in the cold dark morning air, and then stood in a hallway for another few minutes, and then(TA DA!)voted. No, I am not going to try to influence voters to vote one way or the other. Nor will I tell you which way I voted. What I will tell you is the same thing my father said to me. "If you don't vote, then you don't complain." If you chose to sleep in instead of voting, you forfeit the right to complain. You have also cheated yourself out of one of the most important freedoms we have...having your own say. Don't take it for granted. My father voted in every single election from 1941-2007. He complained, too. But he had the right. And so do you, IF YOU VOTE!

Halloween
Hey, y'all
Yesterday was halloween. I went trick or treating with my grandson. Well, I stood on the sidewalk and reminded him to say "thank you" each time. Also along were my daughter, her friend, her friend's two daughters, my ex, and his wife. What fun. My daughter's husband stayed at home to pass out candy. While the three kids trick or treated, the rest of us tried to keep them polite and off of other people's grass. Not that other parents seemed to want their kids to be good. I even saw parents walking across other people's lawns with their kids. But ours were pretty good about it. All in all, a good evening, even if my ex was along.

The End!
Hey Y'all,
This is the 23rd thing...Blog about the whole experience. I have found lots of cool things, and fun things, and some not-so-grand things while doing our Learn and Play. I have learned a lot more about the net, and how to manage things on the net, some of which I will never do again, and some which will be used over and over. Maybe even my Blog! Anyway, this has been well worth my while, though some of it did drive me half way nuts! I "met" some interesting people, both from CML and from outside CML while doing the blogging. My little goal of making a viable blog has been met, and I now know that I am not too old to learn technology. I do wish to thank all who put us up to this, and kept us motivated, and helped us to get things right. It WAS fun.

Moldi
Hey Y'all,
I have gone to MOLDI and I now have a book on my shelf, but cannot actually download it, as I have nothing to download it to. I think this site would be much better for people who like books on tape/cd. I do not. However, I may try again, if I ever get something to download on. I love the idea of them, for some. It was very simple to do, too.

?????????
Hey y'all,
I have gotten to the point where I am actually asking "O.K. Where is the next task?"
I am all caught up, and nothing to do! Well, I can just ramble on here, I guess. I have much to do this evening and tomorrow, too. I am trying to finish my grandsons'
Halloween costume. He is to be a pirate. I am almost to the point where it is all the finishing touches. (read that as the hand stitching...yuck.) Alex is to be a pirate, his friend (female) is to be his pirate wench, and her little sister is a mermaid. The radio flyer is being turned into a pirate ship. Not by me, thank goodness. By his Dad. Well, Until we have another task, bu-bye.
