Short cuts

Today is the tenth anniversary of Yahoo! Can you remember a time before Yahoo? I think I can, but it's very faint.

Alicia and I have been watching lots of tv this season. CSI finally got us hooked, and we haven't missed an episode of 24 this season either. We've also enjoyed the supernatural dramas Medium and Point Pleasant. Medium will definitely be back next year, but it doesn't look good for Point Pleasant. That's a shame, I'm really enjoying it.

Alicia didn't like our trip to Woods Charter. She is extremely wary of sending Emma to the same facility as high school aged kids. With her concerns in mind, we have opted to forgo submitting an application, and to take a closer look at other options.

One of my friends asked why I hadn't challenged the school about Emma's suspension from the bus. I explained that I didn't want to be the parent that ended up on the 6pm news for an altercation with his child's school administration.

Did you know Emma rides the bus for an hour each afternoon? In the morning, Alicia takes her to school and drops me off at work, which is about five minutes away. The morning trip takes fifteen minutes if traffic is kind. There is another public elementary school five minutes drive from our house, but Emma can't attend that one due to the zoning. Even though ours is the most distant home in the district, Emma must attend PES because we're on the Northbound side of Highway 501. I find that odd, though, since Pittsboro is to the South.

Alicia and I caught the Peter Jennings UFO special several days ago. It was interesting, especially the part where they spoke to the physics professor at CUNY about wormholes and interstellar travel.

I have the best friends in the whle world, ever.

Malley's chocolate covered pretzels are good.

So are Werther's caramels. Mmmmmmmmmm.

I'm running out of things to say.

I guess I'll stop.
