The early days
I was back at home in Ireland last week for a few days. Traveling overseas during Thanksgiving is fairly easy and it's a good time to see Ireland. The weather is generally nicer than the Northeastern US, and in Ireland everyone is getting ready for Christmas.This time I was able to borrow some family slides and I've started scanning them in. I thought I'd share a two of me as a child. I'm surprised how well they've held up despite the lack of special attention to them.
For now I'm going to try and scan them in using a printer/scanner combo we have at home. I did find a company called ScanCafe that will scan slides for $0.24 per slide. But it takes 4-6 weeks and the photos are sent overseas for processing. Let me know if you have any experience with these folks.
Our presidential candidates
Even though the US presidential election is almost a year away, things are starting to heat up over here. Mostly because of the early primaries and caucus races in January (yes, that's only about 5 weeks away).
Have any of looked at what our candidates are saying about healthcare? Does any of this sound like they've even thought about chronic illnesses and how to take care of these? Do let me know what you're thinking about the current field.
Right now I'm favoring Mike Huckabee slightly for two reasons. First he knows about Type 2 diabetes personally and has worked hard to overcome it. Secondly this recent advert of his really gave me a good laugh. And any candidate who can take shots at himself is worth considering to some extent.

Bernard, those are so cute! I bet your kids love seeing those slides :)
oh my goodness, bernard. how adorable were you! did your kids look like you did?
awww! little kid pictures!
I think John Edwards has been addresssing the needs for those with chronic illness. Part of his plan includes limits on pharm advertising and more emphasis on cures for cancer and chronic illness. (But then again, I just adore him and his wife.)
Great pics bernard.
Now that Mike Huckabee ad was hilarious. I had to keep from laughing out loud at work.
Bernard, you were such a cute little tyke! And, I do detect a capability for mischief!
