Nawlins Prayer
We’re praying tonight for the folks about to get hit by Katrina. New Orleans and the entire Gulf Coast in that area including Alabama and Mississippi are in the path of a devastating category five hurricane, only the fourth to hit the U.S. since 1900. May God be with them.

Windows Update
Quite the productive weekend around the house here. I finished painting the rest of the windows as well as the subsequent scraping of the paint off the glass. Bill also offered to paint the entire roof trim so I helped him with that, and we even managed to replace the roof trim on one side…

School Update
I just finished my first full week of nursing school, and although I am tired, I am also excited, nervous, anxious and just a tad bit stressed. From the very first day we had long lectures, reading assignments, lab practices, and my very first exam is this coming Tuesday. I spend most hours of the…

Sick of Sheehan
Anybody else sick of the whole Cindy Sheehan thing? It’s really sad that her son died in Iraq, and I feel terrible about that…but the media are making her out to be some kind of martyr while leaving out all of the wacky things that she has said on almost a daily basis. This lady…

Catch Up
The astronauts did in fact make it back safely, thank God. I’ve been off for a few days so I’ve let some things slip, including posting on here and calling people back. Things get back to normal starting tomorrow though (and work too, unfortunately). With my few days off, Monica and I did some travelling…

Discovery
The shuttle is returning this morning around 4 am or so. Man, I hope they all return safely this time. The last thing we need is another tragedy. God be with you, brave astronauts.

Sixty Years Ago
I’m sure some of you have seen the recent polls which state that 60% of people think the U.S. was justified in dropping the bomb on Japan. What are those other 40% thinking? Do they not know their history? Anybody with an ounce of common sense knows that countless American lives were saved because the…

Shriners
Pretty uneventful weekend around here as it rained for most of it. I’ve had to do some actual work which makes for what amounts to a non-existent weekend, but we did manage to head out yesterday evening to help out my Dad and Marlene with one of their Shrine events. We helped hand out drinks…

It’s not the humidity, it’s the heat
It’s so hot today. How hot is it? It’s so hot, I saw a robin dunking his worm in Nestea. But seriously, what is up with the heat? All of our plants are dying, and it’s like an oven when you walk outside. Make that a sauna. When it’s 100 degrees outside, does it really…

All by myself
On Friday, Monica headed off to spend a week in New York with the family so I’ve been all alone this weekend. (She arrived safely and has been having a great time, she tells me.) Yesterday, I did some much needed yard work, and got to finally use our new lawn mower. Man, I must…
