Went back to the WC doc today to have the elbow looked at.  Finally, after 5 months someone took an X-ray of it.  Torn tendon.  But I didn't need diagnostic equipment to already know that.  Doc also commented on the profound swelling and heat still at the site after all this time.  MRI being scheduled to take a peek at the muscle.  PT, which will ( Read more... )

One more paper... one take home final... gasp... almost at the finish line.  December 8th can't get here quickly enough.

Week from hell anticipated.  Too much writing.  Too little sleep.  One good thing:  no more Holocaust reading or writing.  At least for a semester or two. I expect a B out of that class, and an A from the political science class ( Read more... )

Martin came up a couple of minutes ago after verifying online we were registered to vote.

Ah, Angel.  You're not registered to vote.

Stop the presses!  Oh YES I AM!  I've been registered since voting for Regan in 1980.  I voted in the primary last year.  I am registered!!!

Turn left.  Turn Right.  Turn around.  And around until you spin.  National and political news is drumming to a roaring crescendo.

A quick solution to the banking crisis is very, very important.  I become suspicious when we’re told we must pass a bill RIGHT NOW.  I understand the implications this has on the global economy, but we must stop and ( Read more... )

It's gotten considerably cooler over the past week or so.  It's time to throw the doors and windows open wide and enjoy the beautiful days.  This means it's also time to decide on which corn maize we'll be visiting this year.  We're so fortunate to have so many in the area to choose from.  We really liked the one we went to last year at Chick-Fil-A ( Read more... )

FoxNews reports the Democrats are concerned about Obama's standing in the polls as compared to McCain.  Peeking beyond the headline, those defending Obama say he's somehow not gotten his message out to the people.  This is delusional speak.  It's not that Obama hasn't gotten the message out, it's that we've heard the message and we don't like it.  ( Read more... )
