Yesterday was Alyssa's birthday party and this morning it's nice to not have anything to do for a while. I started getting ready for the party at 7am, we had to finish setting up her pool in the backyard and now it's finally done. This pool is 13' round and 39" deep and was a pain to put up and get together. The batteries in our camera are dead so we didn't get any pics but a few people did. We actually have to go to another party later today for Alyssa's friend, they have the same birthday of July 10th but Alyssa is a year older.
I'm halfway through 'the dead zone' by king but haven't had a lot of time lately to really read a lot of pages at once. I was out sick on Thursday but still didn't really get into it. Heather's grandmother just gave me another load of Koontz/King novels so I have plenty for a while to keep me busy.
I've read lately that Obama's lead in polls is going up. last I heard it was about 49% to 40%.

well that's all for now
