...how many ways can you say bored? I'm not sure if anything interesting has happened recently.... except that I read J. Budziszewski's book How To Stay Christian in College this week. Good book. I especially like the chapter "What God Thinks of the World". I generally like the style, too. Not hard, of course, but it made me think.

Remember awhile back when somebody or other (I'd guess a Constitutional scholar of some sort) suggested that it would be narrowly Constitutional for Bill Clinton to be elected the Vice-President in 2008, even though he's served two terms already as President? Or any former two-term President, for that matter - even though an untimely incapacity/death of the President would put him in a position of a third-term President, even though Amendment 22 of the Constitution forbids electing a President to a third term: "No person shall be electd to the office of the President more than twice..." Of course, it says nothing about electing a former two-term President to the office of Vice President, and then the President going postal. Third-term President by finagling. Could some guy actually sneak this by the Supreme Court, do you think? Nope. Re-read your Amendments to the Constitution, specifically the end of Amendment 12: "But no person constitutionally ineligible t...

I'm off to see the cousins this weekend. Yep, just as we do every Memorial Day week(end). It will be great. :-) We'll run around in the yard, and play in the cousins' pool, and talk to my one cousin about his freshman year at college, and scold my other cousin (in fun, of course) for not writing me back, and show all the cousins my new digital camera... I love visits to cousins!! :-) And since they always occur on holidays, I therefore love holidays. Mom will be making poppyseed bread to take for one particular cousin who craves it. It's amusing. Yes, I have an amazing number of cousins on my father's side. It's great for holiday family get-togethers! *** I was thinking aloud last night... to my sister, of course... One thing I hope for at college - probably the only thing I'm none too sure about - is a roommate I can talk to. The way my sister and I chat after the lights are out at night, about anything and everything, bouncing ideas and opinions off...

I have finally listened to "Puff the Magic Dragon" in its entirety. After years of knowing that he lived down by the sea in a land called Honallie (or however that should be spelled). And this was a result of finding it among my ramblings on Yahoo Music. I am enjoying this "customize your station" thingy.

On April 18, five Muslims entered a Christian publishing company and killed three believers in the southeastern province of Malatya. Two of the victims were Turkish converts from Islam and the third man was a German citizen who had lived in Turkey for 10 years. News reports said four of the attackers admitted that the killings were motivated by both “nationalist and religious feelings.” More at Voice of the Martyrs. It was grisly.

Last night was the graduation celebration at church, as mentioned before . When the youth pastor got up to grill us, I was first (of course - the only girl!). The last kid, however, was by far the funniest. He made clear to us the difference between a computer nerd and a computer geek. A computer geek has greasy skin. A computer nerd is more intelligent and cool. Also, geeks are into hardware and nerds are into software. Of course, the kid described himself as a computer nerd. On another night, Dad said that, since I'll be going off to college and boys will start asking me out, I should come up with some good excuses not to go (to use on the boys I don't like, of course). He mentioned the one that he got in high school - "I have to wash my hair that night!" - and that got me and my brother on a roll. Also thinking of "I have to paint the driveway" from some episode of Full House that my brother saw once, here's what we came up with: --Sorry, I hav...

In other words, I got a new hat yesterday. A nice navy blue messenger hat: And I got one last Friday at another rummage sale - a purple knit cap. Which brings the total to twenty-two plus a graduation cap! ( Proof - i.e., pictures of all twenty-two-plus hats! )
