This day did not start out as a good session at work this morning. I felt lousy, probably due to the diabetes, and had a whine and grouch session that still embarasses me 20 hours later. I hate it when I act like that, at my age, and did a prayer period when I got home, to ask that I not do such stuff again. I probably should not put my private prayer news into cyberspace, but I am still ashamed of how I behaved.
Michael J. Fox was at the local very liberal college tonight, and gave a brief talk (5 minutes) on stem cell research, and a large crowd cheered him. I took an early evening nap and missed much of the early evening news, but what I got was more of the same events everywhere that happened yesterday. 25 Iraqi day job seekers were killed in one place in Bag., and the Pakistan air force bombed a madrass and killed either 80 Talibans or a lot of school boys. (Could have been the same.) The Pak military says they were out to kill Zawahari. No one is agreeing what the Truth was.
I woke up in time to finally watch an episode of Prison Break, and may get hooked on it on Monday nights.
Found an interesting site all about radio soap operas. Interesting section on the radio soap Portia Faces Life. Portia was a dynamo woman lawyer (an oddity 60 years ago). When the soap began to lose ratings in the early 50s and faced getting cancelled someone got the idea to get listeners by having Portia thrown in jail--and then the show was cancelled, and Portia never was let out of jail. And there was the over-35 Helen Trent who in c. 30 years on the air never got laid, even though a horde of men all tried to get her and jilted her, but good old Gil always sat at home and waited for Helen to return from her latest failed fling at romance.
After this rambling I am going to let my readers get some sleep, and I will try to get some also. It is supposed to be nice weather conditions on Tuesday, but the wind is howling around the corner of my domicile, so we are porbably in for another windy day. You all take care wherever you may be. Di di mau!
