yes, Barb, Illinois REALLY needs to start meeting its fiscal obligations...

it's supremely reprehensible that pensions aren't being funded!!

oh, and I forgot to answer you earlier, yes, DD has a minor in Linguistics.

and her grad ceremony is May 23.



*IF* my sister pays me back that big loan (tick... tick... tick... 2 years now... tap tap tapetty tap!) then, God willing, I may get to go see DD getting those fancy-schmancy HONORS conferred upon her.

wonder if she'll get one of those COOL (um, what're they called? sashes? cowls? stoles??) to wear on stage ??

wonder what color it will be?

lol, she's probably too busy to answer mom's silly email questions...

*sniffle*
