Soon I'll be spending a couple of months at her home, and thinking of all those who're reaching the latter years - wondering what Ted might have been thinking as I looked at the face of a man whose entire family devoted their lives to our country.
I imagine his mind runs the memory of his father; his beautiful mother, Rose. He remembers his brother who died in a plane crash; another brother who died in Dallas - another who was also shot in Los Angeles, and a young nephew, JFK, Jr. who died in a plane crash in that hot month of July. I'm inspired by the Kennedy courage and stamina - they've all shown us what it is to do 'more' than their fair share in service of our country. My heart is with this man as I know his life is coming to a close.

I liked all of your blog. What was puzzling was how can you have always voted for Nader and have such a clear regard for the Kennedy family?
Maybe I'm too young to know much about these people you seem to admire.
I do know about Elvis. I know about Tina. I liked the videos and their music.
Still, I'm trying to fit all of this together and the best I can tell is you're almost 70 years old, so you're the age of my grand parents. My grand parents don't sound a bit like you, so maybe they've just given up because they don't have the best of health.
I'm trying to be respectful of your blog and what I say, but I do know I'm not certain if you're as old as you say you are.
Sorry. Ian.
