Do any of you have this problem or is it just me? It seems every time I get a Tim Horton’s Coffee to go. The cup invariable leaks! Just wondering.

My vehicles license tags expire today. I woke up early and headed to our BMV. Fortunately, I know the proprietor of one of the bureaus and was able to get in before anyone else arrived. No long lines! As I wrote out my check for $158.57, I thought “What a scam”, the fee for these tags go up every year and for what reason? But, what are you going to do? Pay it and shut up!

I have to say that this has been one of the most bizarre months on record. I have had to deal with some of the most unusual people, witness some of the most curious events, and handle some of the most difficult problems, in my entire 46 years. And to think; there’s one day left.

Really! Is there anything better than your first sip of coffee in the morning?

I finished watching Tiger win another the Buick Open. The winner gets money and a Buick automobile. Jim Nance; the announcer for the broadcast said, “Tiger needs another Buick, like he needs another dozen golf balls”. The guy is amazing!

The New York Times has an interesting article concerning the Middle Class

Federer wins number 10. Although I wouldn’t deem myself to be a huge tennis fan, I did watch some of the Australian Open on Sunday. I was impressed by both players. They were talented and athletic.

I have been in bed most of the day. Michelle and I have been fighting off colds for the past 3 or 4 days. She seems to be a day ahead of me in the recovery department. It is nearly 3:00 p.m. Eastern time; and I am just begining to stir. Yesterday my laptop got sick as well. I am unable to diagnosis its ailment, so I will call the computer doctor on Monday. Although it is the computer I use most often, it isn’t our only source to the outside world.

Life is short and we have not too much time
to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us.
Oh, be swift to love.
Make haste to be kind.

I was supposed to be in Indiana right now. But I am home sick instead! Both Michelle and I, are sick. She is still in bed, and I have been working from home. Today is Ethan’s Birthday and he is visiting the University of Toledo. We celebrated his birthday last evening with dinner at Olive Garden (his favorite). I will post a couple pictures later.
