Were you stymied by the beer line or the ferry wait at All Points West last year? The promoters behind this year’s festival felt your pain, and have promised to fix things this weekend. Head to Liberty State Park for Jay-Z, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend and more; hopefully your trust will be rewarded.

Poll Shows Obama’s Clout on Health Care Is Eroding

President Obama’s ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray the effort as a government-takeover that could limit Americans’ ability to choose their doctor and course of treatment, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Americans are concerned that overhauling the healthcare system would reduce the quality of their care, increase their out-of-pocket health costs and tax bills and limit their options in choosing doctors, treatment and tests, the poll found.

>Bella is an insecure whiney little thing. LOL! But it sometimes helps to whine a little. See, J. Kaye from J. Kaye’s Book Blog took pity on me and tweeted about my giveaway, and now people have entered! It is actually going to be a contest now! I am so happy. Yes really, now off to find a life.

In other news, Em got a new car, a blue Hyundai Elantra. They got a rebate from Hyundai and cash from the government for D’s old van so everyone is happy.

My mother called, she is home and feeling alright. She doesn’t know yet if she’ll have to have additional treatment. Test results are not in yet.

Lastly, my belly is healing and still looks oh so cute!

>Checking out this blog a vagabond’s sketchbook I found this Youtube clip. I’m not a big fan of Bob Hope or James Cagney, but the dance routine is only surpased by the quips. Enjoy and check out the blog. It’s pretty cool too.

>My postcard collection is not just postcards people have sent me. Take this postcard,

Back in May, Em and I went to the Museum of the City of New York. The link takes you to my blog post of the day. It as very interesting, as they had a special section dedicated to Henry Hudson. I found this postcard in the gift shop. I like to buy postcards as rememberences. Unfortunately, I don’t have the back of the postcard with any description because I glued it in my album.

I have found the saying to be true. I meet lots of friendly people in New York.

For more postcard fun, visit postmistress Marie Reed

>after all that posting about not posting and how I was getting back to it . . .

Wednesday Em and I came to the city. She took the day off, and it was my RDO. She had an appointment to get her nails done, I wanted to look for shorts. Been looking for a new pair for a while. The main problem is I don’t want to pay $30 for shorts.

After Em got her nails done we walked down Broadway, there was a store I wanted to go to. We stopped for lunch at another chocolate place we found. The food was great, Em got a burger and I got a vege-burger which was pretty good. Then we shared dessert, it was a monster sundae, so big we couldn’t eat it all.

We then continued our trek down Broadway to our destination, Maria Tash where I got another piercing. I took a picture but it didn’t turn out, I will have to take another one, except I don’t know if I want my not quite flat abs displayed. That should tell you what I got pierced. Em had to get another pair of shoes, her feet are now horribly blistered.

Thursday I got my nails done, but I will have to post about that later. I took notes though, I will just have to type up what I wrote in my journal.
