"My Baby Left Me"


On this Day in History
79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire


On this Day in History
1814 British forces under General Robert Ross
sacked Washington, DC, burning the Capitol and White House

On this Day in History
1989 Gambling Pete Rose was permanently suspended from

Don't forget the syrup!

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?

Tell Katie, I said Hey!

HUGS

"They sold me out?"

Does that mean that his concert sold out?

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.
