Or where there?
It was announced on the Rush Limbaugh show that Al Gore is running a little late for a 12:30 speech at Georgetown University. Stay tuned....
Oh but there were...;-)
Hubby has a Planning Board meeting which he must attend for a client, so I will probably go to the grocery after my haircut. I think I will go sort my coupons, and check in with you guys later.
P.S. The freeper comments are priceless....a classic.
I really hate it for them that this is dragging out like this and is looking more and more like it's going to be more complicated than anticipated. All indications are still that mother and baby are fine, though, and for that we are grateful.
I probably won't be back until late tonight.
Prayers being said.
Many thanks for that link about the car chase and Big Momma. I'm sore from laughing so hard at the freeper comments!
Thanks for the update, kayak. Your dil must be very tired.
Am wondering about till's infection, the one she mentioned the other day....
We're about to get a weather change. Well, the nice sunny days were much appreciated!
Here's my story:
On the day after Thanksgiving, Fall, '00, we buried my father on a hill...a beautiful cemetary in Fauquier Co. Virginia.
As the brief service ended, my sister and I turned and looked over our shoulders...
There was a magnificent hawk flying nearby, down the hill away, and over the surrouding trees.
We were both struck dumb by this coincidence? and very, very moved. It was awesome!
I wrote here about it later, & illstillbe picked up on it.
I think this is the kind of thing you were getting at??
Yes, it was. When I saw that book, it was in a book store which has since gone out of business. I searched Google...found one article about the phenomenon going back to Celtic myths. I think I'll next check a nearby bookstore that specializes in religious books. I know it's out there somewhere. Bevlar wants to know too.
(When I die there'll be a lost Domino's Pizza delivery guy ramblin' thru the cemetary....;-))
Son says mother and baby are doing fine.
Not the maitre d' with the wine list???;^))
That Paul Johnson is a very good writer, and he makes some fair points on Clinton, including this one:
Clinton in fact did nothing. It was not so much masterly inactivity as mistressly inactivity.
LOL!
