You still have 14 days.
Cheezits are really good, by the way.

True. Did you hear? Bush got a gate.
Probably to keep his OU neighbors from trashing his lawn like they did at my sister's house with the Gator lights in his 'hood.True. Did you hear? Bush got a gate.
There should be some anti-Yale passion in Preston Hollow, right?

So what, it's not much security if the code is written on the side of the box. That and I'm sure it would be something hard to crack like 1-2-3-4.
I was thinking about randomness today...and this came in my email from my friend Alan Cohen, the writer and teacher. I thought I would share on the Random Thoughts Thread:
Greatness in Your Midst
As thousands of commuters rushed through a metro station in Washington, D.C. on a cold January morning, a musician stood next to a wall playing his violin, the case at his feet open for tips. He played six Bach pieces for 45 minutes. A few people stopped and listened for a moment, then hurried on their way. A few threw some change or a dollar into the case.
The most attentive listener was a three-year-old boy holding his mother's hand. He wanted to stay and listen, but his mother tugged him along. A few other kids tried to stop, but their parents, too, hustled them.
After 45 minutes, only half a dozen people stopped, and the violinist collected $32. He put his violin away, closed the case, and disappeared into the crowd. No one applauded or thanked him.
Neither did anyone realize the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the world's greatest violin virtuosos. The piece he played was incredibly demanding, and his violin was worth 3.5 million dollars. Days earlier Bell had played to a sold-out crowd in Boston for tickets at $100.
The unlikely concert was sponsored by the Washington Post as a social experiment. Would listeners recognize and appreciate talent and beauty in an unexpected setting? Would they stop from their busyness to feed their spirit? Would their expectations of meager talent override their grasp of greatness?
Blessed are those who have their antennae up for quality and greatness. There is talent, beauty, wonder, and inspiration in your midst right now. To pass it by is to miss the gift. To stop and breathe it in is to be the recipient of a miracle.
