So what’cha up to this weekend?
I know that some of the BFD faithful have lit off to NOLA for ElectionPalooza, their friends can follow the debauchery and tall tales via Twitter, Facebook and likely a few texts. Someday I hope to join in the fun, hum maybe 2012.
Tomorrow morning ( Saturday) I’ll be attending the Cobb County Democratic Parties’ monthly saturday breakfast. No telling who will show up and just how cranky everyone will be. But I’ll haul my butt out of bed anyway to attend.
What: Cobb County Democratic Party monthly breakfast
When: Every second saturday ( except December) November’s breakfast held Saturday 11-13
Time: 9:00 am -10:30 ish
Where: Piccadilly Cafeteria, 536 Cobb Parkway in Marietta just south of US HWY 41 and the South 120 Loop.
Given that the weather is looking quite delightful, maybe a trip up to Cleveland GA to the Corn Maze would be fun.
As most of you know, I’m not a huge fan of nature and the outdoors, but Georgia has many amazing State Parks, I’d recommend a trip to FDR’s Little White House.
Our 32n’d President was an amazing man, I’ve often drawn strength from his triumph and struggles. Speeches he gave in the 30’s resonate today. Think things are bad now…just imagine what Georgia was like during the 30’s!
Here is an excerpt from the now-famous Madison Square Garden address of October 31, 1936.
““We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace — business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. … Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me. And I welcome their hatred!”
I’m not at all interested in “W” new book, but I’d certainly read just about any book about FDR or Eleanor Roosevelt!
Enjoy the weekend!
