Dark Clouds

Here we are, not blogging...  I was busy doing things, like work and some SVDP stuff.  Our initiative to revitalize older conferences is going -- not exactly swimmingly -- and we have some ideas for new ministries that I am trying to foment.  I always say that every time I sent out an email it generates two, and while that is not exactly true, it is close enough.  Sigh.  And, dare I say, I am a little...depressed.  My birthday is upcoming, and we all know how I feel about getting older.  It is one thing to say goodbye to 47, and... well, I just don't like it.  The weather has been nice, and I have been walking at lunch to get some rays, which has helped, but...  I will note that there is nothing on the schedule (for now) and I have not had any restaurant tourism in a while, which leads me to think that I should try to cross a place off the list.  We also need some Pub Quiz.  I have been busy, as has been the team, but the summer is the time to travel and try new places.  Rah.

Sherrod Brown leads Jon Husted by 8 points in Ohio Senate race poll | Fox News
This is not good.  I am worried about Texas (Paxton will drain resources that could be used elsewhere, like OH) and Husted has not exactly been on the air.  Ramaswamy is, but given his wealth, there is little reason he should be outspent.  

‘Why are we talking about this?’: Democrats are furious that the Bidens won’t go away - POLITICO
This amuses me, as we really should not be surprised that the Bidens are re-inserting themselves into the political sphere.  I am not sure that it helps us, as with inflation and prices being what they are, there is little point of reminding everyone who was President the last time inflation was this high.  I am not sure how this ends, and the issue is that POTUS doesn't seem to know it, either.
