Back in the Saddle Again!

This has been a very rough week. School started with a BANG. I had to drop/add three classes. Then there was the accident on I-55. Things are getting better and I can start blogging again and reading the news.

I guess the most important topic on my mind right now is car safety. Put a fire extinguisher in your car. I cannot say that loud enough or long enough.

Second is the death of Ted Kennedy. A facebook friend said yesterday, "I am having a hard time mourning the death of the Hero of Chappaquiddick". You do not have to mourn him. Just keep your pie hole shut if you don't have anything good to say. Put his shoes on for just one second. He lost three brothers and a sister before he turned forty. After the accident Tuesday I can vividly imagine losing my sister, multiply that times four. These weren't just any siblings either. They were literally the cream of the cream, possibly the brightest and most talented people in our nation's history. And he had to try and carry on after them. No pressure Ted, no pressure.

More later. I have a most interesting class coming up.
Hopefully make flyers tomorrow and start pimping this blog!
