For some reason I'm always surprised by Thursdays...the early recognition that the weekend is near consistently startles me with joy...

Apparently war is near too... maybe we should start a pool. I'm betting the first cruise missile launches at 1:17 p.m. Central time one week from today...but then again I got zero numbers in lotto last nite.

An 85 year old woman in England has had the words "Do not resuscitate" tattooed on her chest because she fears she'll keel over and doctors will try to keep her alive..don't they make bracelets for that type of thing? I'm sure the unlucky tattoo artist trying to negotiate the wrinkles would have preferred the bracelet approach.
