Today is another day of reverence. I am not Catholic, but I do have respect for John Paul II and all that he did in the name of Peace and Christianity. He was, as President Bush said, an example of human dignity in his battle against the ailments that eventually took him. May he rest in peace.

I watched Superman today (the 1978 movie with Christopher Reeve, RIP) and the song "Can You Read My Mind" was in it and I recalled singing that song with the Jazz Choir last spring. Good song.

Here is a link that plays a tune I threw together, but it's kind of a pain in the butt since it's on Geocities.  If that doesn't work you can try this one too, although the same ( Read more... )

Ugh, winter is the worst season of all. I'm feeling a little under the weather today, so I slept through church, and didn't get up until after 3 o' clock. Now I'm eating a sausage, egg, and cheese hot pocket and drinking country time lemonade, which is nice, i guess, but it seems somewhat lacking.

Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.

Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the ( Read more... )
