the good news is that it was UNBELIEVABLY WARM today. we went running this afternoon and it was actually hot for that. i guess we\u2019ll have a little bit of cooler weather late in the week but SPRING HAS SPRUNG.<\/p>\n
my friend jerri had a baby, and his name is charlie. she had him about a week ago, i believe. i haven\u2019t actually talked to her, but christine tells me these things. plus there\u2019s a photo of him on her blog. christine and jerri don\u2019t actually talk very much, i don\u2019t think, but they constantly instant message each other. <\/p>\n
i\u2019m not usually even around a computer very much, which is why i don\u2019t take part in any instant-messaging. plus when i used to be around a computer most of the time, the instant messaging was always a big distraction because usually when i\u2019m on the computer i\u2019m LOOKING THINGS UP. <\/p>\n
VERY IMPORTANT THINGS that need to be looked up. like calcium and potassium and barack obama.<\/p>\n
i listened to one of his podcasts just now and it was quite interesting, plus when you listen to it, there\u2019s all these very trippy images on the screen as you listen. you could get very mesmerized by the images. <\/p>\n
i was trying to find about barack obama events here in spfld. surely there must be a bunch of them, don\u2019t you think, seeing as how this is the capitol city and he\u2019s a senator from illinois? i went to his website and found that there was actually an informal meeting TONIGHT, but i missed it because it was a couple of hours ago. but it looked like a very small event; there must be something more than a bunch of people meeting at Panera Bread, isn\u2019t there? isn\u2019t there?<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve also been reading his book, “the audacity of hope,” and i suggest that you go pick up a copy and read it. i\u2019m halfway through, and i have to say that it\u2019s pretty fascinating and informative and isn\u2019t too bad to get through, even though i don\u2019t normally read anything that non-fictiony, not to mention that it\u2019s full of things that people should know, stuff about how government and the media and politics and politicians and everything works. it\u2019s good but also sobering and a little depressing.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s kind of like childhood obesity, which is bad and getting worse, but i really don\u2019t see any hope of it getting better, only worse. just like all the stuff about government and the way the world actually works, and there are just so many huge things that need to be fixed and i don\u2019t see how they ever could. be. <\/p>\n
it makes a person want to sit around eating doughnuts and humming a nice little tune, maybe something from “the music man,” forgetting all the bad things in the world.<\/p>\n
christine called me the other day to say she was amused that kevin\u2019s fencing lame (the silver jacket he wears over his fencing jacket in a competition. it\u2019s silver because it\u2019s made of some kind of metal, so that when an electric fencing foil touches it, it makes the score box light up and buzz) says HUGHES USA on it, as if he was going to be fencing in russia or something.<\/p>\n
hey, it could happen. it does seem kind of funny that it says USA on it, but i feel that he\u2019s not going to just suddenly stop being in competitions, and it seems that there certainly is a possibility of fencing in some other country.<\/p>\n
i\u2019ll be happy to go along. BUT DON\u2019T MAKE ME FENCE. it\u2019s bad enough fencing here in the USA; i\u2019m sure i\u2019d get SLAUGHTERED by russian fencers. <\/p>\n
theoretically i\u2019m going to be in a beginner\u2019s fencing tournament this weekend, but maybe something huge will happen and i won\u2019t have to go. kevin keeps saying i\u2019m going to do GREAT. right now only four people are signed up for it, and they\u2019re all 12 years old or younger. i\u2019m not going if it\u2019s just going to be a bunch of kids. if i beat them, well, it\u2019s because they\u2019re 12 or younger. but what if they all beat me? that would be much too humiliating. <\/p>\n
oh, here\u2019s a photo of the kitties. winnie, who is, indeed, a very GIANT kitty, was trying to climb over to me. honey was lying in her bed and this is usually how she does it. very very cute, even though she\u2019s a ruthless killer in real life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
