Hi everyone. It took me 15 minutes to read all of the posts that I have missed since last night. I also cheat when I try to name everyone by looking at other posts that have done so or scolling back.

I only graded papers this weekend, so I now have exams from two classes to read and grade this week. I spent most of the weekend reading. I actually read 2 novels. It has been awhile since I have done that. It is cold and sunny here in Central Illinois, Most of the trees are now bare. I have taught one class this morning, and I am ready for my graduate seminar this afternoon. We are looking at the relationship between the president and the judiciary. I wonder what kind of judges Obama will appoint?


Sandy, It does sound like your mom may need someone to check on her daily to see if she is taking her meds. Hope she is ok.

Sox, Hope all turns out ok. Saying prayers for you.

Kelly and Kay, Reading about your cats is pretty funny. Now you know why I so love those sneaky creatures.

Hey Twinks! Can I come for Thanksgiving? I have never been to Utah.

I do not have time to respond to everyone. Have to go eat before class.

Have a good day!
