• No promises.

    I have not decided if I will be willing or able to make my entry next week, what with Christmas falling on my normal writing day and all. Christy will be in town and Beth will be expecting a Christmas to remember, so I think I may have other things on my mind.

    If not next week, then next year.

  • We’re going back to Disney World!

    Actually, we already did. This time no one got sick. Just as important: we all had fun. We spent the morning covering the ground that was missed at the Magic Kingdom. We saw the Pirates of the Caribbean and ran around Tom Sawyer’s Island, before taking in the Country Bear’s Jamboree. Beth and I frolicked about Tom Sawyer’s Island like a brother and sister, and Cheryl could do nothing but watch has her two kids raced around with the enthusiasm of children on Christmas morning. What’s more, it was a perfect day for running around. The high for the day topped out around 60 degrees, and the air felt crisp. It was cool enough not to get hot, but not so cold that you lost sensation in your extremities. I’ll say it again, it was perfect.

  • In the world today.

    Does anyone else wonder what the difference between Iraq and North Korea is? Both countries are ruled by a government that we’ve gone to war with. Both countries are suspected of developing nuclear weapons. Both countries have current rulers that seem a bit too unstable for comfort. North Korea has come out and admitted that they are actively developing “the bomb.” Based on what I’ve heard in the news, we know North Korea has some of the materials and infrastructure necessary to actually build one. Based on what I’ve heard in the news, it is rumored that Iraq has been seeking the materials and infrastructure to develop such weapons, but that they are not there yet. Iraq has been known to have chemical and biological weapons. These weapons, while certainly dangerous, do not approach the destructive or killing power of “the bomb.” Meanwhile, we are actively seeking an excuse to go to war with Iraq, in order to prevent it’s leader from developing and using “weapons of mass destruction.” At the same time, we are apparently turning our backs on the North Koreans, despite the same concerns.

    Am I missing something?
