Hey, Navy:
I’m home sick for a second day because of a cold that is almost out of my system. I still have to go to class at night because I’m giving tests next week and I should be able to go back to work tomorrow. Wheee.
Taking a quick look at the Reno Gazette-Journal and the Nevada Appeal web sites, there’s the usual nothing going on. The president of UNR resigned to take a job at Baylor. Governor Guinn of Nevada was selected by Time magazine as one of the nation’s five best governors. The guy that drove into the Michael Hohl’s car dealership showroom admitted he’s been on a two-day marijuana bender. The new Carson-Tahoe hospital is about to open and everyone is impressed so far (but wait till the bills start rolling in). Going to CNN, one of the daughters of Emperor Akihito of Japan left the royal family to marry a commoner. She’s no longer a princess and has to learn to drive and keep house like a “normal” Japanese housewife. Houston Street of the Oakland Athletics won the American League Rookie of the Year award.
Strange news items:
“In September, to preserve "respect and dignity" for newborns, the neo-natal unit of Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax, England, officially banned visitors' "cooing" at infants. Said hospital official Debbie Lawson, "Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you or me." To illustrate the rule, officials displayed a doll holding a sign reading: "What makes you think I want to be looked at?" [BBC News]”
“Conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them on Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck. [Rueters]”
“A nursing home in [Dublin] Ireland has hit on a cheering way to keep up the spirits of its elderly patients -- by providing its own pub. [Rueters]”
As for the Moores, Danielle caught the interest of a high-profile writing agent and we signed the release for her. Lara has got the yuckies, too, and didn’t got to class today. Her room is momentarily clean and the love seat is stacked with piles of clothes. YM had a disaster exercise at work yesterday which evolved into a fiasco that no one took seriously. Over the weekend, she reorganized the garage to find room for your stuff, but there are still bins in the living room so I’m guessing there was only so much rearranging to do. Maybe if we move the Ark of the Covenant over by the window…
All my love,
Air Force
