Short Updates
Good morning! Was browsing a magazine story (yes, real print) entitled "Dream Jobs 2010". Well, it could more accurately be called dream engineering jobs, but you can read it here. (related link) My favorite, of course, was the engineer who works on enhancing Yamaha's digital piano line.
Went to a fun Saturday morning Step & abs class with Claire. I'm grateful that her knee has healed enough to do the class with me. Of course I undid most of the health benefits when later she asked if we could go get smoothies. ;-].

Claire's new nickname for Snickers: Fatty McMarshmallow. He's no longer the tiny kitten he was this summer and his coat color scheme reminds her of a toasted marshmallow.
Back from dinner at Red Arrow Diner with the family. A family of seven in a real diner car diner. Next time we'll have to leave earlier before it gets crowded. Now just watching as Abby tries her hand at Wii Fit Plus.

Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of so...
American Cancer Society TLC Hats for Cancer Patients
Comment: Ordered three more nice looking hats for Michelle.
Excerpt: TLC, a service of the American Cancer Society, offers a wide selection of affordable and attractive hats for cancer patients in three adjustable sizes Plus, all of our headcovers are cut deep enough to give the full coverage needed by women with hair loss.
