The Week Ahead

Last week, I decided to try posting a week's worth of Bushisms at a time. For me, it worked VERY well because then I didn't have to remember to try to put a post up every single day!

There are some - particularly I suppose old friends who have known me since early grade school days who would laugh and say this can't possibly be true, can't be the person they think they know if I were to say here that for the most part this past week, I haven't really had anything to say. I had a reputation from first grade through 12th grade as being a talker - got "Whisper" checkmarks all through elementary school because it seemed I was unable to shut up. Ok, I admit, at times when I get on a writing roll, I can ramble -on and on -forever too - or so it may seem. But there are times when I just really don't seem able to put two and two together -as in words - to make a sentence that even begins to make sense. And the past week - well, it's been one of those type of weeks apparently.

So tonight, I'm gonna post here a week's worth of Bushisms -again.

There they are folks. Read 'em and weep! Oh, that's what one says when playing poker isn't it? Why is it though somehow, I feel like I've been in a big, losing poker game for oh, say about 7 1/2 years now?
