Actually, they are pretty receptive. In fact, most of the time, they are bored because they have to listen to 18 speeches in a row. But, they really do pay attention to mine. Some have said that they like it when I speak on terror because it's how they learn some things they didn't know... (What, you don't read newspapers)
But, after the Professor told me that Israel could expect terror because they stole the Paletinian's land... I knew that I had to speak on this subject. (I was toying around with Lord of the Rings, greatest fiction book written)... but the Prof's remark could not go unchallenged.

the Prof's remark could not go unchallenged.That's right! You GO girl! You are probably doing more REAL educating in that class than the bozo who's supposed to be teaching it! And as for them reading the newspapers to learn about the situation in Israel, which ones COULD they read to get the real story?

I mentioned yesterday that we were expecting snow today so I had gotten all my grocery shopping done. It is a good thing! We were supposed to get a TOTAL of 1-2 inches during the day; that was exceeded before 7 am! We now have about 4 inches, and it is supposed to continue to snow lightly all during the day! The public school kids were thrilled because they have an extra day off for Thanksgiving! I'm doing all my baking (except for the turkey) today. I love to bake when it is snowing!
Hey IOTN, did Providence get socked? Y'all were supposed to get more than we going to get! Little ones are SO fascinated watching the snow. Little ones, heck, I love watching it fall, I just don't like driving in the stuff! I know you and Autumn must have had a wonderful morning making memories! I hope you took some pictures, Dad!

I finally got around to listening to "Gollum's Song" from the soundtrack downloads. I couldn't get over the fact that it has a distinctly Middle Eastern sound to it, and I thought about you! It is an interesting song, and the orchestration at the end of it leads me to believe that it will be used as the song at the end of the credits the same way that "In Dreams" was used at the end of "Fellowship".
