Yes one thing I have learned is how to procrastinate well.

procrastinate for a while and then cram for a short time. That is the american way.

The way I figure it is I need some time to play. I can't study all the time or I will go bonkers.

having a good balance makes for a all around healthy person.

That is why I quit my job so that I would have more time and not always be rushed. But now I realize how much I miss the money to go out on town with. Oh well, you can't have it all.

Jennifer Garner was on Letterman tonight? It's already off on the right coast....she went to high school with several people I know from back in WV.

Dub - I saw her at Disney's California Adventure on Sept 6. She really worked the crowd well. pics

That's awesome Phil. It looks like you and Debi had a great time. I've never been to Disneyworld/land so I'm jealous. :-D One day I plan on visiting when I'm not backpacking. Epcot Center is supposed to be very cool.

As for Jennifer Garner...I've never met her. However, Charleston is pretty small and our two high schools weren't far apart and played each other often in football/basketball etc....so I tell myself I've probably seen her before.

Dub - Cool. Maybe you will see her around sometime. Janet Evans grew up a couple of blocks from our house and her father was our veternarian. I've seen her around once or twice.

Well, I doozed off on the couch and missed Jennifer...dang. Off to bed.

I'm up. Just home from work. Now it's time to do school work. My mantra these days: "I can sleep when I'm dead." LOL! Anybody know how to jack up coffee even more?

Overnight, Mellbourne, Florida
Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 40s except near 50 along the coast. Light winds.
Drat! I'm near the coast and it's already below 50 and dropping. Either I go to bed or turn on the heat. It upsets me to have to use heat in Florida.

Well, OK, I turned on the heater. But I'm going to bed as soon as I finish this cup of hot chocolate.

I'm still up, and so is the Melbourne Airport Weather Station temperature. It's up to 53°F. It's probably because I'm running the heater so close to the airport.

The SE Pacific hurricane season closes this month. But they do have Arthur churning out there. It only appears a threat to shipping as it heads SE toward the South Pole. Those storms at sea have taken many a sailor. One thinks of those things, as past experiences come to mind.

I stayed up for a second cup of hot chocolate. But, for now, good night.

It's difficult for me to click-off WQXR.com from NYC. They've been playing:

Sullivan, Arthur Sir
The Mikado

The belly-rocking laughs, which are part of it, are great.
Hah, hah, hah ...

And in a little while they will broadcast:

Sullivan, Arthur Sir
The Pirates of Penzance: Overture

Wish I could keep my eyes open.

Can't recall ... Is The Lord Chancellor's Nightmare Song from "The Pirates of Penzance"?

That one will definitely wear a person out! LOL

(I won't fill up Matt's server ---- just the link this time)

No, I don't think so. Some of the literature on it indicates that they don't really have a source for it. I wnnt through The Pirates of Penzance and could not locate any mention of it.

Yes, Tilt, links are much better.

a-Ha!

It's from "Iolanthe" (act II)

from Wikipedia:
William H. Rehnquist, then Chief Justice of the United States, was inspired to add four golden stripes to the sleeves of his judicial robes after seeing the costume of the Lord Chancellor in a production of "Iolanthe". The current Chief Justice, John G. Roberts Jr., has not continued the practice. Rehnquist was a great Gilbert and Sullivan fan who once played the silent role of the Associate in "Trial by Jury".

mount it horizontally so you can set your bed infront of it then you wont have to get up in the middle of the night! LOL!
