Whipple's Dam

John and I just came back from dinner and a movie.  We were going to watch the Democratic National Convention but figured they would repeat Kerry's speech, so we decided to watch it later.  Uh-oh, I just turned on the TV, and the repeat is now over.  Maybe they will show it for a third time later tonight.

Today John and I were going to go to Whipple's Dam.  It is a local beach.  A man-made beach, lol.  What else would they have in PA?  They imported the sand to make it.  I have never been there but somebody told me they have swimming, a place to order food, paddle boats, etc.  I thought it would be a really fun thing to do.

We couldn't go today though.  I called up John this morning and he just couldn't wake up.  Not until 3 PM.  He has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  It used to upset me greatly that he was so sleepy all the time, but now it doesn't bother me as much, because at least he doesn't have his terminal cancer anymore.  That's right.  He had terminal cancer.  Only somehow he survived it.  Some of his doctor's gave him no chance but he fought it off!  He is a five year survivor so far.  So I am thankful for any health he has, even though he has to be on disability for other things besides cancer. 

Hopefully we will be able to go to Whipple's Dam next week.  John has weeks where he has to sleep a lot and then weeks where he is awake.  It runs in cycles.  I say maybe we can go next week because we can't go this weekend.  It is supposed to thunderstorm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I wanted to say that Valerie has asked me for more prayers.  She called me tonight and said her neck just won't heal up.  She is going to just lay around for the next three days (which she has been pretty much doing anyways) in hopes that the wound will heal up and scab over.  If anyone would pray it would be much appreciated. 

Now I am watching the Democratic Convention again.  The delegates are watching the screen.  They are watching fireworks go off outside.  The theme from the Superman movie is playing.  They are showing photos of Democratic Presidential Nominee JohnKerry as it plays.  Now they are playing the theme song from Indiana Jones.  Now they are playing the theme to Star Wars (significance: The Rebel Alliance went up against the Evil Galactic Empire). I don't know all these songs, but John is telling me what they are.  The announcer just said Kerry is going to speak next.  I think I will get off here and see what he has to say.  Good night.
