Good morning, ABG...How's your back?

"Back in August, people were complaining the Democratic campaign was not engaged," Dunn said. "This is what an engaged campaign looks like."

Engaged???? Doesn't she mean enraged?

I'm happy to hear she thinks that. It means it will go on for quite a while.

Had a cold and rainy day yesterday that really flared it up. It's been acting up a lot more lately, probably due to the cold weather we've been having down here.

Today's lead story on the Des Moines Register's online edition: More about the Dim Candidates snipping:

Rivals attack 'divisive' Dean claim
Other candidates challenge the idea that his backers won't vote if he isn't the Democratic nominee.
By THOMAS BEAUMONT, Register Staff Writer, 12/30/2003

Oelwein, Ia. - Three Democratic presidential candidates campaigning in Iowa on Monday challenged rival Howard Dean's prediction that many of his own supporters would abandon the party's nominee next year if it were any one of them.

Sen. John Kerry, campaigning in northeast Iowa, called the comment "extraordinarily divisive."

Dean's popularity among young activists has been credited for propelling him to the front of the Democratic pack in the presidential race. He said Sunday his supporters are "certainly not going to vote for a conventional Washington politician" if Dean fails to win the nomination.

Dean's comments came as he was expressing frustration about attacks his rivals have leveled against him. Dean is the front-runner in Iowa, which holds the lead-off nominating caucuses Jan. 19, and other early nominating states.

But Kerry said Dean's frustration is eclipsed by the potential of damaging the party's prospects against President Bush.

"He said that his people would take a walk and that the party was doomed if they didn't nominate him or something to that effect, which I found to be an extraordinarily divisive, disparaging statement which is very contrary to the spirit of our party," Kerry told reporters en route to an event in Oelwein.

Kerry, at the start of a three-day northern Iowa campaign swing, was joined by Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt and North Carolina Sen. John Edwards in challenging Dean's assertion that no other candidate has sparked enthusiasm among new and disaffected voters.(snip)

kassie!...If it's 33 degrees in Houston, the cold must have arrived after we left....
...we had a pleasant temp week with our son in Austin.....just light jacket stuff.

Back is better this AM.....there's no place like home...

..my own bed, my own recliner, my own heating pad, LOL.

Northern Yankee, maybe I'm a little prejudice, but I think the Orlando Airport is one of the prettiest bar none.
..and I haven't seen a lot of airports, but I've seen Atlanta, Denver, St.Louis, Houston,Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and a few others...

..and I think esthetically, Orlando has done a great job.

No doubt, it's in the keeping of the spirit of Disney for folks to arrive with lots of the Disney perks visually before they even get to the Magic Kingdom.

Didn't you think the giant Christmas tree in the airport lobby was beautiful!
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.

I love Texas.....I love everything about Texas....my son loves Texas!!!...Cowboys are cool :)

We had our A/C on 2 days ago. Furnace on today.

I love Texas too. VA was a wonderful state to live in, especially Virginia Beach, but there is no place like Texas.

I am glad you had a safe trip!
