Now if I could only find that job, that perfect one I keep seeing in my head.
Three and a half years ago I enrolled in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, or as students/alumni say, UL, or ULL. Me, I prefer UL.

I will miss it. It will be interesting to watch our government for the next few years. A government health plan will be a reality in America and I can't wait to see it develop. The details that will be debated, the changes in the health care we receive. And the deficit. Our deficit is the closest number to infinity that I have ever seen.

I mean really, a migraine is aggravatingly debilitating. Normal headaches are painful but one can still function. Migraines: no way, there is no functioning when you have a migraine. There are drugs now that are tremendous in that they stop a migraine. The one I take a miracle drug called Amerge.

This is common knowledge, I'm sure you'll agree. Let's not discount printed news altogether now. It remains a news source force to be reckoned with as it's decrease in popularity slowly progresses. In fact, recent research has found that multitudes still read print news. And they do so frequently.

Never cease to amaze.There are people who believe their stimulus checks came from the Government, from the President. Literally. The fact that they are the source, is lost on them. That amazes me.
I wonder if people saw the Great Depression coming for years before it arrived. If so, for how long? Two years, three years, did they watch the events unfold for six months? One year?

It was so thought provoking. He has such a clear, no-nonsense, and inspirational take of how to care for the econonic wounds of our country. What's inspirational is the realization that these wounds can be cared for, and will lead to eventual healing. I have not been so moved by any discussion, speech, or opinion in a very long time.

Time. Make the trip a good one. No regrets.Things are moving along quite nicely. I still have not completed the number of assignments I'd like at this point. But, I am close. My work is constant. My arms and hands are stiff and sore from laptop use. Even my foot is sore because I held it in an awkward position for hours, resting on the wheel arms of my desk chair. Boo-hoo.

There is a slight possibility that I and my son will see a movie and have dinner. I'd love to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range. Or play a round of golf. After that, whatever the activity might be, I will sit in my office and complete an assignment.
