I was glad when they said unto me...

Have you been trying to figure out what is "bailout" and why we need one? John Fortune and John Bird bring you the British humorous edition. I've wondered and worried about things political and econonmic, and so far have come to no understanding. Pete's axiom of organizations, "Organizations are run for the benefit of those who control them." Banks, Senate, Congress, Wall Street, all of them. And the corollary in these peculiar times? Beats me. So let the sun keep shining, and I'll try to be merry.

I'm having a wonderful time, still. I crashed and burned in the high school class on Tuesday because I wasn't prepared, and couldn't focus on where we were going. Part of the distraction was wondering if the sky was falling. But the sky didn't fall. We're in a slow motion lowering of the skies, maybe but not a fall.

Photo of the day is from before Gustav, before Ike, there was Hannah. She rained and rained rained upon us. And the mushrooms mushed. This yellow beauty was in my back yard.



Three things that made me smile today.

1. Almost all my students were present in the College Algebra Class and I'm getting to know them more and more.

2. Tania's to do list included some things I can do. I made a couple more stabs at the punch ladle.

3. The outer border of the Round Robin is going together and I'll have it ready for Houston I think.

Tag you're it. What are three things that made you smile today?
