Thank you. It's been a long day - up yesterday at 3:45 a.m., and today at 4:40 a.m.

Here's a real poser - my mother's stress test seemed to indicate one artery wasn't getting any blood to her heart, thus the cardiac cath and the doctor's concern. Lo and behold, and thanks be to God, everything is fine! That's what I call a false reading.

Whew. After a little catching up at FR and a few other sites, I'm going to bed!

It was an intimate political gathering: Sen. John F. Kerry playing host to about 100 of his richest friends. Kerry huddled with his top fund-raisers Monday night in his Georgetown mansion, preparing a massive money push aimed at keeping the defeated presidential nominee's ambitions alive. ...

Strategists say Kerry will use his new political action committee, Keeping America's Promise, to promote his agenda, help party causes and keep his army of 2.7 million supporters together. [Does anyone know what his agenda is, considering whatever he says it is changes 180 degrees the next time he addresses the issue]

.... He's been busy pushing legislation on kid's health care, traveling overseas, raising money and expanding his political network. [Oh, I see, "kid's" health care - just the one kid, presumably - is the sum total of Effin's agenda, apart from globetrotting and raising more money?] Boston Herald

Get some sleep. You've earned it.
