Ladies & Gentlemen

We have a winner in the great "Admit-the-Porters" sweepstakes.

Baylor University caved and decided to admit me to their Graduate Program in Religion.

What's that you say? I already have been in graduate school? Sure, but all I will have to show for it is a crummy master's degree. Baylor wants to give me a shiny PhD after I work my hind quarters off for a few years.

If none of that makes sense, then just hear this: We are moving to Waco!

(I am still to excited to admit to myself that I am moving to Texas. Adjustment will take time. Go easy on me. After all, I have been in New Jersey for so long that Limbo was beginning to sound quaint.)

Did You Know?

Did you know that the last vice president to shoot someone while in office was Aaron Burr in 1804? He shot and killed Alexander Hamilton.

Do you know what Aaron Burr is famous for? He is remembered as the guy who shot Alexander Hamilton.

Do you know what Dick Cheney is famous for? Me neither. He would never tell the press anything, so how would anybody know?

(Sorry about the macabre humor on Valentine's Day, or any day).
