Back to reality

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my family. They enjoyed spending time with the H-man, and he learned all sorts of new things. He hugs and blows kisses, walks several steps without falling, and may be addicted to bananas.

However, now we're back home with the sea of fans and dehumidifiers still blowing. I'm expecting reconstruction work to begin this week on the house. But as we've found out, everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much as you expect it to—so if we're hiring an attorney by the end of the week and still dealing with cracking ceilings and water stains by mid January, I won't be surprised. In fact, nearly nothing would surprise me now.

I'm over my head in work at the office, too. Missing more than a week of work has caused even more stress, because I'm so behind, I now have NINE projects in the works...or, rather, they SHOULD be in the works right now in order to meet deadlines.

I NEED A VACATION.
Oh wait. I just had one.

Yes, but holidays don't count. Vacations should include white sandy beaches, warm Gulf waters and a margarita. :)

Good luck at work!

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
