Good morning! As I wake up my legs are so stiff from Thursday's workout. I may skip this morning's strength class and just do the Step & abs class after it to loosen my muscles up. Still playing with OS's. I'm now downloading the full Ubuntu installation. I had put it on my work laptop last year, but interested in seeing what's new in 2010. 6:34am

Since my microphone was delivered today, I tried it out together with AudioHijackPro and Fission. The new mic made a dramatic difference compared to a simple USB headset commonly used in things like Skype. The kids are down to bed now. Good night all! 8:24pm

Mayo is probably a leading indicator of where other hospitals and doctors a...

Angelus
Comment: Well if I ever find my noon time praying of the Angelus too dry, here's one way to pray it with more devotion.
Excerpt: We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a "call to prayer," too! It is the Angelus. Three times ...
