Water Polo VS Campaigning
I have just now begun to emerge from my “All Olympics…All The Time” stupor, a few days after the Closing Ceremonies. I returned to my regular diet of Cable News Shows. I was absolutely dumb-struck at the similarities between Presidential Campaigning and Men’s Water Polo;
Water polo You can almost drown your opponent without penalty
Campaigning You can throw massive amounts of mud at your opponent w/o penalty
Water polo No one (except possibly the referee) understands the rules
Campaigning There are No Rules (never have been)
Water polo Game lasts too long
Campaigning Game is interminable
Water polo Sort of cute guys, with really dorky hats
Campaigning Sort of cute guys (except Biden) No hats, they were all tossed in the ring
Water Polo Played every four years
Campaigning We wish it was only played every four years!

Oh, PB, I have missed you! I loved the Gatekeeper story and the Water Polo vs Campaigning comparisons. I’m going to try to check in here more often. I hope you are doing well.
Deaarest Lady…I have missed you also. I got a letter Wednesday that one of my short stories is going to be published in an anthology book that will be out in Spring. I had to put on my Industrial Strength Depends because my giggles and yelling undermined my bladder control. I pray you are well. Please…Please stop by often.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Yay and Double Yay!!!! I’m not surprised, though. You write beautifully. Have we read the story? Are you taking any courses right now?
You might have, it is the story of my mother and I attempeing to make home-made wine, entitled “The Wrath of Grapes”. I am taking Writeriffic II for a second time. Eva totally re-vamped the material and it is new to me. There are only 4 or 5 of us in the class. Did you know that Eva published her first Novel 2 weeks ago. It is a fantastically funny Christian,Mystery,Romance novel called “Games of the Heart.”. It is available now for Kindel through Amazon.
