My girl in 'Nam is enjoying it.

We've heard from her via e mail twice. Haven't heard in two days so expect to soon. The correspondence is short and sweet " we are here and staying here e mail you again soon...." Another 5 days or so and they should be back in the US. Whew.

They'll need time to decompress. I HOPE they have built in a little time off before they return to work schedules but I'm not sure about that.

I won't be expecting the much anticipated face to face stories for awhile but likely some pictures will be on line sooner than that. I look forward to that but first things first. Get home safely Zach & Danielle.

Confession.

I like to watch Project Runway. That is all.

The First Three Words You See Will Desribe You.

I got fool, beautiful & lovely. So I'm a beautifully, lovely fool. There's some real truth to that.

Have you seen this? CUTE!

Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

I had to stay awake to see the wedding. I was very intrigued by the whole thing. I want to believe that Gene the superstar, super smart, super business saavy, super successful etc etc etc man will be faithful in all ways to his wife Shannon but I'm not sure he will. It will be so sad if he goes back to be an ass especially for his kids whom I adore ...Nick & Sophie. Shannon & Gene both managed to raise two wonderfully intelligent, talented ( did you hear them SING at the wedding? FANTASTIC!) and secure adult children. It would sadden me to no end if Gene did all of this for the fan fair,the attention, the spotlight that he craves.... but I would NOT be surprised if he cheated on Shannon again.

Stay faithful GENE!!!

Flash!

ps Gene.... I really never thought KISS was so spectacular but I don't hold THAT against you!! Just keep your pecker where it belongs....at HOME!!!

I think America should just SHUT UP!!

Hey Andrea.....

My goal for tomorrow.... to NOT get pissed at students before 9:00 a.m. LAST Monday I was yelling ( very rare for me) by 9:00am. Here's a math problem for your students:

If Mary can delay her pissed off ed ness by 15 minutes every consecutive Monday of the school year starting tomorrow.... how many weeks will it be before she can say "I didn't YELL AT MY STUDENTS ONCE TODAY!!!!!"

Depending on the answer, I might actually set that as a goal.
