Announcement No. 1:
Today is The Professor's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! Hope you have a great day.
1936 was a great year for Americans. Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the Olympics in Berlin, effectively wiping Hitler's nose in the Nazi theory of a superior Aryan race. And Wallis Simpson lured the King of England right off the throne. I guess Grandma and Grandpa weren't the only ones doing a little movin' and shakin' in 1936. ;0
Announcement No. 2:
Old Dutch R makes a potato chip called Dutch CrunchTM Kettle Chips. The salt & vinegar flavored ones...manna from heaven. If you eat a whole bunch of them in one sitting (I have, several times, so this is a scientifically-tested statement) you will corrode 75% of your taste buds. Worth. The. Cost.
Announcement No. 3:
Go check out Front Line Voices.
The mission of this site is to get out the full story by posting first-hand accounts as written by men and women who have actually been to Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no editing or commentary by those who run this site, and we will print any letter or story submitted by a legitimate source who has served overseas. Our only goal is to offer you the opportunity to read these stories and to find out what the reality is.I.e. - No big media spin. Go.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled blog reading.

BTW, is the Professor scheduled to contribute any time in the future? Not that I don't enjoy the daily bulletins from Cathy, but I also enjoyed the Professor's time as locum tenens.
Posted by: aelfheld at October 2, 2003 11:12 AMI hope so. He's going to be traveling a lot during October, but I've had several requests to see some more of his work. I brought it up last week; his excuse was that he forgot how to log into my site. Sigh...just like a little kid.
