misc.

(1) fun link nicole's parents sent out tonight: carve your own pumpkin :-)

(2) bush quote of the day (from when i was watching MSNBC this afternoon (which i watch a lot of since we only have 20 channels and half are in spanish) (probably slight paraphrase since this is me remembering from hours ago, but i was amused)...."i can be too blunt; i get that from my mother... i have been known to completely mangle the english language; i get that from my father..." the whole paragraph that was from was good, but those two lines in particular got a good laugh both from the live audience and from me :-)

(3) Dr. Truemper, chair of theology at Valpo while i was there, died today... he was having major health problems already for a bit and was going into hospice care this fall... i never had him for a class, but was familiar with him from the chapel... more i have lots of friends who were greatly touched by him and will miss him greatly.... life never stops throwing you for loops, eh?

done rambling for the day... i think.

remember to set those clocks back. :-P
