Concerns on this day:

1. Cosmos 1 decided to use a Russian rocket to get into space.

2. After probably hearing about it a million times, President Bush still insists on pronouncing the word nuclear, "nucuelar". It's a nice glimpse into his personality.

3. I hope that little lost brat in Utah got his just whipping.

4. It has only been 3 months since I moved into my place. There's nothing weird about all of my silverware and dishes still sitting in boxes on the kitchen floor. Is there?

5. Will Mars Express find caves or underground reservoirs of H2O?

Strange Days Indeed - I work at a Christian Organization, reviewing budgets, and I'm known at work as the "Detail Bulldog". Does anyone know what happened to that dude Ben?

My Gramps, Sim Shattuck, died very recently. I'm going to the funeral on Thursday. I just want to say that this man was the kindest, most easy to get along with human being that I've ever met and I will miss him.
