Trina Letter - Jet Lag? Seriously?

Sunday, November 20, 2005

Hey, Navy:

Did absolutely nothing worthwhile this weekend. Nada. Zip. Zero. Didn't grade papers because I'm giving tests this week. I'm not important at work to have to work weekends. Didn't exercise because I ate too much at breakfast and couldn’t get of the couch, so I watched football (you Americans call it...football). Did nothing of value that made me or people around me better human beings. YM and D went for a two-hour climb this morning up some hill near King's Canyon and successfully did the passport thing yesterday with your grandparents. They'll tell you about all this in their letters. Lara is seriously considering taking the Spring semester off. She's burned out on school and wants to get a job to earn some money for Ireland

This will be on The Daily Show:

BEIJING (Reuters) - Irked by a reporter who told him he seemed to be "off his game" at a Beijing public appearance, President George W. Bush sought to make a hasty exit from a news conference but was thwarted by locked doors. [A reporter asked the President if he was “off his game” and the President blamed jet lag.] When the reporter asked for "a very quick follow-up", Bush cut him off by thanking the press corps and telling the reporter "No you may not," as he strode towards a set of double doors leading out of the room. The only problem was that they were locked. "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work," Bush quipped, facing reporters again until an aide rescued him by pointing to him towards the correct door.

And here’s a bad joke:

“A torn and ragged one-dollar bill discovered that it was about to be retired from circulation. As it slowly moved along the conveyor belt to the shredder, it became acquainted and struck up a conversation with a fifty-dollar bill that was meeting the same fate. The fifty began reminiscing about its travels all over the country. Life has been good," the fifty exclaimed. "Why, I've been to Las Vegas, the finest restaurants in New York, political fund raisers, and just returned from a cruise on the Caribbean." Gee," said the one-dollar bill, "you're fortunate to have been able to visit all those places."

"So where all have you been in your lifetime, my little friend," says the fifty?" "Well, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Church of God, the Lutheran Church, the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the Assembly of God Church, the Brethren In Christ Church, the Quaker Church, the Pentecostal Church, the Charismatic Church, the Mennonite Church, the United Church of Christ, the Church of Christ ..."

"Excuse me," says the fifty, "but what's a Church"?

All my love,
