Re: The secret's out!
No link, when I want to talk to him I go see him, they live at the other end
of the next street (~1/2 mile). He came home from the hospital (after 13 days) the other day. It is a lot more convenient that driving down into one of Cincinnati's ghetto areas. Thing was, I know he intended to vote for at least 2 Demoncrats... There is a pretty fair chance he won't get to vote again.
