That’s probably what I smelled like when I finally got back to the country house last night. So I took a shower and got all clean.
I helped our student group selling concessions at the LittleU’s opening football game yesterday. Do people only go to football games to eat? Seriously! Not [...]

Sarah Palin is McCain’s VP pick. Not unhappy with the choice. And that’s all I have to say about it.

Leaving the world behind
Posted by: J on: August 28, 2008
It’s weird to think that next week I’ll be retreating completely from the world to learn Vipassana meditation. And when I say completely, I mean just that. No cell phone, no computer, no television, no books, no newspapers, no radio, no talking. What will the world look like when I return? [...]

To all my readers who generously gave a bit to help a dog in need. Thank you! $900 dollars was raised overnight. Another example of how wonderful humans can really be!

These are the few pictures I got before they made an announcement that if you didn’t have permission to take pictures (which I didn’t), you’d be thrown out of the market. And I could not have that happen! *laugh*

There is a wonderful woman with a great dog out there who needs some help. Her dog needs surgery pronto for his eyes, but it’s a relatively expensive surgery for those of us on librarian’s salaries. Go here if you can help her out a bit. (I don’t think she’s got the [...]
