Good news about next week. I love it when I can do that. Just putter around and not have any major "to-dos."
Well, you have fun teaching. What/who are you teaching?

Noted.....I will try this at lunchtime today. I think I will also try to get an IT buddy to upgrade me to WMP 10 at work. I have XP there. When I get home tonight I'll try it from here.

Surprise........
(Van Morrison)
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Didn't even give it no shred of doubt, no, no
They sold me out
Didn't even sit down and try to figure it out
They just sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
For a few shekels more, another minute in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
So beware brother it could happen to you
They sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
Just for a few shekels more, another minute of two in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
Got to beware brother it just might happen to you
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided out my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been known
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out

My head is swelling! :-)
In the run up to the liberation of Iraq a bunch of Mn. Freepers were going to meet at a rally here. Aeronaut & I were waiting for the others to show up. (The fact that no other freepers showed up is the subject for another day) This young guy waled up to us and asked if we were vets, Then thanked us, I must admit I got a little lump in the throat(I'm thinking it must've been a cold coming on).
Once again Thanks!

Good morning all.
On the AP wire this morning the panel on base closings voted to keep Sub Base New London open. So the Nutmeggers in Groton can go on grousing about the Navy and warning their daughters away from scalawag sailors for another decade.
