Yesterday was an amazing day in the garage! My friend Ralph and I attacked the clutter by hanging things on the wall and out of the way, four ladders, a pair of saw horses, and three racks to hold lawn and garden and household tools. In addition we built a 2 foot by 8 foot peg board and hung it under some of the ladders, creating a space for tools and now I can easily find every screwdriver and hammer, knife or saw! The result was that the garage looks organized and empty, even with the golden golf cart and the McIntosh green Vue parked in there.

We are in that nightmarish time of year when preparation for the school year begins to weigh on teachers minds. Although we like our jobs, we like being off more. School starts for the faculty on Monday morning. At present, nothing is in the chorus room, bare floors and walls, and nothing can be moved in. The air conditioning in disconnected. Only the outside exit door is accesible to students. Mold is growing on the floor and on the risers. Nothing can be moved in until the floors are cleaned. But hey the cafeteria is in worse condition. No floor, no ceiling, no lights, no power, unfinished walls, and apparaently no worry for the contractor, who is hardly working in that area. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Say did you see that Bill Frist is now for stem cell research. I guess this begins his official run for the white house. AND he is affirming his long held position backing stem cell research. He's not flip flopping on the issues mind you, rather, he was always for stem cell research. What a bunch of bull. He sees the ground swell running away from the position that he has been advocating for the past 4 years or so, so he is running around to get in the front of that position and claiming it was always his. On television this morning he repeatedly called himself a "physician" and a "healer." There was nothing in his interview that called for those words. He never referred to himself as a medical doctor. Medical doctors are secular people. Physicians and healers are mystical, spiritual figures. He had his talking points and he stuck to them. Listen conservative right wing Christians! I'm your guy. I'm Nancy Reagan's guy. I'm Arlen Spector's guy.
Isn't it odd when the parctical evidence overwhelms the religious point of view then the religious point of view has to change. Political leaders want to catch the top of the wave on these direction shifts so they appear to be out front. Bill Frist is evil.

Pretty soon he'll have always been for ending the war in Iraq and bringing our soldiers home. (Gagging noises offstage).
