A couple of random comments on last night’s forum.
First, is that I had not been into the Met since I was a kid–all my dance recitals were held there, so I have both fond and vivid memories of the place. Upon walking into the theater, I turned and asked my parents “Was this place always [...]
Last night I went to the “Campus and Community Civility in a Time of Unrest†forum at the Met Theater. The moderator, I was delighted and somewhat surprised to discover, was Juan Williams (and I discovered that he did in fact write the book on Thurgood Marshall I have) Perhaps Morgantown isn’t as small as [...]
We just got handhelds for work! The reason is because so many people are using them, we’ll need to be able to support them, which we can’t do if we’ve never touched one.
So I now have in my possession a Palm Tungsten, which my manager says is a nice handheld. As I couldn’t afford one, [...]
There’s a new weblog dedicated to promoting progressive woman bloggers, What She Said.
She has links to a variety of websites that I already read, and is right now posting “interviews” with different bloggers.
I did, however, read one thing that irritated me, and that was in her criteria for inclusion:
…they have a feminist slant- pro-choice, size [...]
There is a woman who works in my building who has we have helped on several occasions. She’s an absolute delight to help, because she’s always nice to us, and really appreciates our help. (There’s nothing like a customer who calls demanding your help, while at the same time treating you like a lowly [...]
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend in Cincinnati. The wedding, as I said before, was marvelous. Heather was beautiful and radiant, as all brides are supposed to be, and Andy was handsome, but then I’ve always thought that he looks good in a tux. I loved Mary’s outfit—her sisters had brought her a shawl from [...]
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jacobs!

The wedding was *fantastic*. I danced my butt off, and am very tired.
And of course we forgot the charge the battery for the camera, so I didn’t get too many pictures.
Oh, and Daniel danced A LOT!
It’s a week of ends and beginnings.
In the past week two friends lost family members. Kim’s grandmother died last weekend, and Del’s mother died yesterday.
In both cases, it was hard, knowing that a friend was suffering, and there was nothing I could do.
But this week is also a week of beginnings, as Andy (finally) gets [...]

Former West Virginia welfare recipients struggling, study says
Only one of every four former West Virginia welfare recipients whose benefits have run out because of a five-year limit have been able to get a job. And more than half those who are working have only been able to find part-time work, according to a study prepared [...]
My relaxation this past week has been the incredibly geeky activity of watching Deep Space Nine episodes on DVD. It allows me to veg out, but since most episodes are less than an hour, it doesn’t have to take large chunks of time.
Michael and I watched all seven seasons of DS9 this spring, but we [...]
Is to go drinking and dancing.
I shan’t, however, be doing either.
Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!
I have to admit that I’m rather fond of this pirate…

So we just beat Maryland, 16-19 in overtime (sorry Grandmom) now I’m sitting on the porch with laptop and digital camera, stealing someone’s unsecured wireless connection, getting ready to watch stupid people. Since I already saw lots of pick-up trucks with beds full of drunks, it may take something special to qualify.

WWII bomber emerges from glacier
A long hot summer in Iceland has revealed previously hidden parts of a British warplane that crashed on a glacier in May 1941.
The Fairey Battle bomber has been re-emerging slowly from the ice since 1995, monitored by aviation enthusiast Hordur Geirsson.
The BBC also has links to previous stories on the glacier [...]
