There's No Place Like Home.

So Brother-in-law Tim is here with us. We had a really busy day. We had to inflate the dinghy and go across the canal to investigate the 4 foot long iguana hanging out in the mangroves a little too close to our boat for my liking. Now the guys are picking on me regarding my pre-coffee disposition this morning. Evidently I was a touch on the crabby side. And now we are debating whether we should be good little patriots and suffer through yet another of those redundant, uninspiring, rhetoric-ridden, Obama performances. They made me swear that I will withhold narrative until its over. And they are laying bets on how long I'll last. I said, "that's it - I want to go home" Tim told me to click my heels three times. I responded, "y'know this is a little like Oz. I've got the Cowardly Lion to my right (Tim), the Tin Man to my left (Tom) and we're about to listen to the Scarecrow" sing along with me folks..."with the things that I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln, if I only had a brain..."

I failed miserably. Obama opened with Ladies and Gentleman our Constitution states...and I blurted out, "oh NOW you want to consult the Constitution!"
