Bullet'n

Jim, Michael, Patrick (my "boys)

• My WHH sent me all of the pics he took last weekend when he visited his family and our "bouncing baby boys" in Carlinville, IL. I miss everyone so-so much, especially my sons. No, they're not boys anymore, but still, they'll always be our "boys".
• The lady who drowned Sunday is still in a coma at Singapore General Hospital.
• I met some very nice people tonight at the Obama teleconference. There was a technical glitch, but it was still nice to meet everyone, eat, drink, and and talk a bit about politics -- or talk about how Americans don't talk politics. I think that will have to be another blog post (I promise no preaching about either side, though).
• My WHH will finally be home tomorrow. His flight arrives at 6:45 a.m.
• I have bowling at 9:30.
• I want to call Valerie and tell her that something has "come up", but I'm not a very good liar. That reminds me, you should check out Hilly's post from November 7. She's one of my "deep-thinker" friends. Actually, I have quite a few of them. I just let them deep-think for me ;-)
• I still might call Valerie to tell her I "can't" bowl this week.
• I am pretty sure that I hurt my Filipina friend's feelings this morning. She asked me about when our trouble sleeping started. Sheesh! It's been years. She was trying to be helpful, but when she told me that I needed to move my dressing mirror a few inches, I burst out laughing. I couldn't help it, but I think I really hurt her. I will apologize to her in person. Sometimes, I'm such a blurter-outer-of-things, when I should really be a deep-thinker-of-things.
• I'm still thinking I might have to call in sick tomorrow though.
• I miss my boys.

Obama '08

Since I've lived here in Singapore (almost 3 years), I've felt out of touch with the politics back home. In the past three years, no politician has bothered to listen to Americans living in Singapore -- if they did, they sure didn't call me!

Barack Obama is different though, I received the following invitation and thought I would share it with my fellow American ex-pats living in Singapore. If you're interested in attending (I will be), then be sure to RSVP by Saturday, November 10.
