Hmmm Newton, IA is on 60 minutes regarding the economy. When I was little we used to go there to see the Courthouse Christmas lights turned on. That's where Maytag started. Whoever bought them out.....Whirlpool I think, moved the plants to Mexico or someplace. Pretty sad.
Boo is in her chair, Ricky is on the couch and Callie is on her mat in the hallway. This is nice.

DR Elmore - have you tried putting ice on your knee?
I had three kids who didn't know to say "trick or treat" I said "What do you say" and they all said "Thank you"....well at least they know thank you

The day I arrived Bryan was scheduled at the hospital and then had a class lecture before picking me up. His little motorcycle was in the shop so he borrowed his wife's large scooter (they find this mode of transportation much easier for parking in Chicago) and had a spill going over construction while turning. His knee was swollen but he said for mild swelling it is better not to ice it to prevent infection.
My 95%-better right foot sends recovery vibes to Larry's right knee!
I was going to shut my light out about 20 minutes ago, but that last girl was so cute - out walking with her dad - I'm glad I left it on. I'll shut it off at 8:00

Another monarch was sighted in my yard tonight!
Wait, the candy they've been selling in the market in those big bags is to give out to other people?
Bruce I had hoped to surprise you in Portland and now I don't think it will happen. I'm very, very sorry.
