Hurricane Isaac Update

Auditioning for Cantore's Job

This is heavy-hitting reporting on Hurricane Isaac's current effects in Central Louisiana.

Not for the weak of heart or minor children.

My recent trip to Tokyo reminded me that Mark Twain was right.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. Doug Larson

Einstein said it best

It's Friday! We've made it through another week. We're all geniuses.
(Yes, I have a low standard for "genius" status.)

Week two of no voice. Tests tomorrow.
 
Good news is that the loss of my voice has totally made me forget about my broken nose... Which my doc says adds character. Hmm, like I need any more character?!
 
And, as these things have helped remind me -- Never, ever, ever jokingly ask, "What else could go wrong?"
