Virginia, dogs & ER

Virginia - all I can say is "YEAH BABY!!!" - we did it, thanks in part to the Old Dominion the Democrats are now in control of the Senate - yay!!!!! This is freaking awesome (and ps, I live like two blocks from where Allen's "victory" party at the Richmond Marriott was being held - that explains why on Tuesday night there were so many news camera's around)!!!

Dogs - Props and shout out to Molly Malone and our mutual friend Super J, I truly think I've gotten over a large part of my fear of dogs, courtesy of them. Lately I've taken to walking right (close) by them on campus and wanting to pet them - how's that for progess! Molly and Super J both have well-behaved canines and helped me to see that these animals are more friendly and want to be loved than desire to bit me. Though I don't think I'll ever be a, "dog-person" I won't go shrieking when I hear a bark, as I did before.

ER - One of my rewards after a hard week is getting to watch ER, Thursday night. I love that show!! Last night, those writers did it again, with the Morse character, giving him depth, dealing with the multi-personality patient, where we thought it couldn't be possible. Amazing and really touching, thanks ER writers!

Have a good weekend all (the song running in my head since Rumsfield's resignation and Allen's loss):

na na na na

GOOD-BYE
