Only one thing on my mind today. Nancy had a small growth removed from her upper lip. They took a biopsy but we wont have word for 24 hours. I know she’s worried and so am I. Part of the day was spent by me phoning the “Hill” on all the unfinished business going on in this lame duck session. Even the members of both houses are going on the air declaring that the game playing & politics is a disgrace.
