Thursday the 16th

WOW! Ivan has arrived in Middle Tennessee. Getting a good amount of rain and some wind gusts. I hear the house creaking just a bit...

Not much new in Nashville. Life as usual...

A progress report on my genealogy class, Midwestern US Research, which I am taking through BYU: I turned in three lessons this morning and went to the library this evening and completed one more. Yee-Haw! I'll get this one done soon and move on to the next class; but I haven't decided on which one is next!

We had wonderful Chinese food lunch today. But my fortune was a little disappointing--Practice makes perfect. Is someone trying to tell me something???

Well, time to sign off and watch the news. See what kind of forecast we have for tomorrow.

A special note to some friends reading--

Chris...thanks for being a good friend!
Dave...where the hell are you??
Vaidas...we need to get a beer...no...multiple beers!

And to Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League...why the hell are you making our lives so miserable. Play the damn game and work out the details on the side!!
