Musings

1. I might be a Hank Williams fan now.
2. Even though The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is kind of a silly book (I cried. Darn it!), the discussion tomorrow with my book club will rock, because I am leading it.
3. I should go to the doctor about my sore throat. No, I shouldn't go to the doctor about my sore throat.
4. Oh, to get my 2 1/2 year old to sleep through the night!
5. Samuel Alito seems to be holding up okay. I think I'd vote for his confirmation.
6. White House Press Secretary is the WORST job in the world.
7. What if my thoughts were numbered like this in my brain?
8. What were the makers of Dinotopia thinking making a four hour movie?
9. Syphilus in Baltimore. Books could be written.
10. I love my new lime boucle socks from Dillards.
11. I wish I could get that video clip on today.msnbc.com to play of my old roommate's best friend's encounter with a robber and how she did all the right things to stay safe. I'm glad she's okay and I hope she still listens to Alanis Morissette a lot.
12. What happened to Carly and Marcy and will they be coming back?
13. I really ought to come up with something clever to say for that special time when next my inquisitive neighbor tells me I look pregnant. . .because of the glow, only because of the glow.
14. She'll be the last person to know if I ever get pregnant.
15. I have a simple mind. And I'm tired. See number 4.
16. If someone is considering buying a gift for me, I would like a Simple Minds CD. And also Hank Williams.

Did the lady who was robbed have the last name of Hirsche? I saw her this morning on some morning news show and she just looked Mormon.

Gargle 8 oz of water with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for your sore throat.

Thank me later.

That was your old roommate that got robbed at the cash-a-check store?!! Oh my goodness! She's been all over the news. She said that she learned her tactics for escaping her attacker from an Oprah episode.

Check the KSL (Utah channel 5) website to see if they have the clip.

Hank Williams is pretty much the father of country music. He was known as a hillbilly singer in his day. He died at age 29 in 1953 in the back seat of a car that was taking him to a gig in Indiana, of an overdose of alcohol and various painkillers. I grew up listening to his music on the one countrified station we had in town, all through the 50's and 60's. I liked that sort of music then, but wished for something more sophisticated. Now I really like it. Van Zeiler, who played Hank Williams in the Herberger Theater production, was amazing!

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t...

This is a story about heroes

Last night while reading in bed, I developed a hankering for sweets: specifically, cookies or cake. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something. So I said, "Steve, I really want some cake. Or a cookie. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something." Then I added, "Why don't you call the Fattalehs and ask them if they have any cookies at their house." In very uncharacteristic fashion, my husband picked up his phone and asked, "What's the number?" I told him and he dialed something else and got the wrong number, and then I told him again and he dialed right the second time. He then got David on the phone and asked if they had anything sweet that we could come get because I felt like eating something sweet. Jami the hero always has delicious offerings at her house that she has made and that she is willing to magnanimously share with others, so David the hero said, "We do! We have brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll ...
