07 November Tuesday and it's Voting DayMassachusetts has elected its first Democratic Governor in 20 years and its first African American Governor. Ted Kennedy has won his 8th term in the Senate. These weren't nasty political races, however, Vermont had some nastiness happening. NH didn't have too much going on. Anyway, it will be nice for a while after tomorrow and the majority of the post-election news is done. Every election it seems like it can't get any worse. Fooled again!
Just had a call from a fellow who was like a son to us when he lived here. He and his new wife and new son live in Michigan now where he works for the Boy Scouts as a professional. NH to OHIO to Michigan. When one works for the Boy Scouts, one must expect to move. Anyway, we communicate occasionally by e-mail, however, the phone kicks in just before winter. Our oldest son says it is the holidays and, since he feels like a son (and family), the holidays kick the phone calls in. Nice conclusion Sean. We couldn't finish our conversation because he had to stop and order supper to take home. What a good husband! I taught him well. lol More on this later.
Here's one I picked up recently and what a sign of the times.
While reviewing math symbols with my second-grade pupils, I drew a
greater-than symbol: > and a less-than symbol: < on the chalkboard and asked, "Does anyone remember what these mean?" A few moments passed, and then a boy confidently raised his hand. "One means fast-forward," he exclaimed, "and the other means rewind!" Hope your voting day was good and have a great day tomorrow. 25 Januar Italian court to decide whether Jesus existedThey call this news ODD! Please, give me a break.
Tue Jan 24, 2:53 PM ET ROME (AFP) - An Italian court will this week ponder the existence of Christ after an atheist accused a priest of misleading the public by presenting Jesus as an historical character. The atheist, 72-year-old Luigi Cascioli, first filed a complaint against 75-year-old Father Enrico Righi, a parish priest in Bagnoregno, central Italy, in September 2002. Righi had asserted the historical existence of Christ in a parish newsletter "This complaint does not wish to contest the freedom of Christians to profess their faith...but wishes to denounce the abuse that the Catholic Church commits by profiting from its prestige to present historical facts as if they are real when they are only inventions," the atheist says on his website. The trial, beginning Friday morning, will consider article 661 of the Italian penal code which, under the term "abuse of popular gullibility", sanctions people who mislead others. Cascioli has said he will withdraw his complaint if he receives proof of the historical existence of Christ. |
