I have a master's degree in Liberal Arts and we were required to write a thesis for every class......not an easy task but when I was done I knew what a footnote was.....

That's 7 cups in under an hour. About 40 minutes.

My Wednesday started off pretty well. My younger daughter got up this morning and made waffles for me, for no reason. Wow! I nearly fell over. So, mine started off well. I have two job interviews next week and I'm looking forward to the GTG this weekend. Life is good.

Thanks. I know you were joking, but I actually ran across a job for a salesman to do wholesale porn stuff, DVDs, dildos, lubricants, etc. I couldn't believe it. I considered sending them my resume just for the hell of it.

Could you imagine the buzz around the neighborhood or church if everyone sees your car parked at every sex shop in town?

At least then he'd have work as an excuse.

At least it would be something I have a lot of enthusiasm for . . . .

Had a fun night last night (relatively speaking)...La Crosse just got done electing its youngest mayor in its history...a 24yo kid named Matt Harter...

If there's a saying about "...being drunk with euphoria..." I saw it this past evening...

When the results (100% precincts reporting) were read off and it showed he won by 1,300 votes over his oponent, after 12,000 were cast, Matt was just staggering around the place in disbelief...most folks hoped he was going to win, but EVERYONE figured it was going to be REAL CLOSE - but winning by 12% was considered a landslide in this particular election...

Everyone is hoping he does well...and he'll have his hands full when it comes to some of the "good ol' boys" in the City Council...but a lot of folks have expressed their displeasure with the way things were being done and with the way the economy has been beating on everyones' door lately, a few of the "cronies" got the boot this past evening, too.

Maybe all this spending to make the earth greener and trees more huggable is starting to wear thin when it comes to paying for it with the tax bills...

We'll see if La Crosse is going to stay on the map or eventually slide into the Mississippi 'cause the Green-plaid-garden-gophermite is no longer keeping gophers off the eastern banks and the den-digging is undermining the top-soil to the point that sometime, within the next 1.5 milleniums, La Crosse's streets and top-soil will slide West and into the River...

We can only hope the College Kids have taken over the Western edge of town by then...

Otherwise, today is goin' to be travelin' day...heading to the upper northern climes of Western Wisconsin to help a few folks tune in a few digital signals...then when I get back this evening, I'll be packing to head south to Decatur, IL., to help the X-wife pack up her mother's belongings to finally close out her apartment...the treatments haven't been going too well and she's been moved from one hospital, to an extended nursing facility, and just yesterday afternoon, we found out that 'cause of her diabetes, they found her yesterday morning with a BS of 40...and dropping...they got her to a hospital just down the street from the ENF, and she sounded "lucid" last night, but the prognosis isn't too good...

It's going to be a very hairy few days this weekend and beyond into the next week...

Wish me well...I'll be on the road for a majority of those days...and wish Mary well, too...she'll need the prayers way worse than I will...

I have another job interview today. That'll be my focus for this Hump Day. Good luck to all of us job hunters and I hope everybody has a terrific day today. It's sunny here and looks like it'll be a beautiful day all day.

The Mrs. and I spent the morning with a Trust lawyer trying to get a Special Needs Trust set up for my little guy with Ds. Once that's in place we can move on to the rest of the financial planning. He gave us a bunch of options to mull over and my head is spinning. Essentially the kid can't have over $2000 is assets or he would be disqualified for many state and federal programs. By setting up the Trust we can get around that, with all intents and purposes, an infinite amount of money. Our goal is for him to be self-sufficient and never have to count on state or federal aid but are preparing for the worst case scenario and want to be sure he's covered no matter what. Big fun. Boy does my head hurt.

Are you getting the feeling your boss is thinking about firing you, Ted?
