Wreck-It Ralph

We saw a movie tonight, and a good one at that.  "Wreck-It Ralph" was a tribute to video games, but had plenty of references to older ones as well as new ones.  Pac Man was in the movie, as was Chun Li and Princess Peach.  These were in the commercials as well, those scenes also earlier in the movie - the heart of the movie takes place after that, featuring four main characters who carried the story out well.  Madison really enjoyed it, of course.  She sat there with her bucket - we bought a plastic refill bucket to save some money in the long run.  She had her 3D glasses on, and it was game time.  Disney did a fantastic job with this one, even throwing in a new princess.  Mommy and Daddy liked the movie too.

As it was a day after the new series, it was largely a day to recover mentally and physically.  For my part, I went to bed last night at 7:00, and woke up at 8:00 or so, eleven hours later.  We packed up a lot of the Halloween decorations - and waited until Madison was gone to throw out the carved pumpkins.  Let's put it this way:  they were ready to get tossed.  They served their purpose, and looked very nice this year.  But we didn't need to introduce any more microscopic fungi into the house at this point.

The Presidential polls are tied at this point, so it's anybody's game apparently.  Certain pundits are calling it one way or the other, but the majority of professionals out there are saying it is too close to call.  Tomorrow, the rest of the country votes (we voted early), and this long national nightmare will be over.  It is somewhat of a stressful thing this year, and we're not even in a battle state.  Our state is solid red, and has been for a few years now, always choosing the Republican candidate over another.  We vote anyway, of course.  It's the ultimate Presidential poll, the one that really matters.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, with all these hundreds of polls out there, why is it that NO ONE has EVER called us.  EVER.  In all my years, I HAVE NEVER been called ONCE to be asked about who I'm voting for and so forth.  What's up with that?  Who exactly are these presidential poll people calling, and where?  I'm suspicious!  Or perhaps, just jealous?  We just don't get called about things like that.

I'm sure people in battleground states are tired of getting calls themselves - both sides of the fence are reaching out by way of nasty television commercials, radio ads, billboards, and telemarketers.  While in Florida (a battleground state), we even saw a plane writing in the sky.  It said, "VOTE LIFE."  Madison saw her first skywriting that day.  The people paying for that message apparently wanted us to vote for the one candidate that can really heal our land.  I took a picture:

Can't argue with that one.  The last few years, something worse than Wreck-it Ralph has come around this country and done a whole lot of damage.  There's only one prescription:

"But they make themselves low in my sight. They pray and look to me. And they turn from their evil ways. Then I will listen to them from heaven. I will forgive their sin. And I will heal their land. After all, they are my people." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIrV
