Happy Mother's Day Bonesmokers

Yesterday I went to Kansas City. Yes, family time. I got to hear my aunt talk about her belief in the accuracy of psychics. In a nutshell: "I like that one on the Sci-Fi Channel. Those people try to tell her she's wrong, but she just turns around and tells them things about themselves that no one could know." I have resigned myself to the fact that any persuasion toward a reasonable explanation would be futile.

Today, I went to lunch with Whites. She is great. We went to the new and improved Bangkok Gardens...delicious. We talked about women in higher education and how difficult it can be. Although she is encouraging, it was discouraging to hear how women kind of get the shaft. She was alarmed by former students not pursuing master's degrees, perhaps, because of the pressure that many don't feel to continue their educations when compared to men. I think she may have given me the best advice about womanhood and the professional world that I have ever received: "You can either work and compete with all of the women or you can run with the men, be a complete pig, and deny your womanhood." Brilliant!

I'm a Wheel Watcher

What is wrong with me? I have a 15-20 page paper due tomorrow, yet I am writing letters to Pat Sajak instead. BTW:Wheel Watchers Facebook Club get on this. This will be on air if we act now! Here it is:

Dear Mr. Pat Sajak Sir,
First of all, I love the Wheel. I have been a faithful watcher since 84.' Thus far I have been pleased with your performance. I am writing to request a puzzle (well ,a speed puzzle, actually). I would like to see the words : DELICIOUS TAQUITOS on my television screen. Thank you.
Care to you and yours

Nancy Grace Summer Goal

My goal for summer 2006, you ask? Get a call into Nancy Grace's show on CNN. When the call is screened, I will tell them that I would like to know when Natalie Holloway's killer will be found. Look out though! When I get on the air, there will be no stopping me. "Uh yes Ms. Grace, when will you start reporting the real news?" or "How can I bring media attention to my string of frivolous lawsuits?" I suppose I will have to lie and say that I am from rural Kentucky or whatever too.

"My Dog is Bitchin" (thanks Laura)
