Guess I Don’t Eat Enough Grits…

or haven’t lived in the South long enough… or maybe I’m just your average Air Force brat. Turns out, I have no accent. I’m “Midland”. Sounds blah. I’ll have to try again next year. Y’all let us know how y’all sound.
| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

I recently read that the airspace over the US has never been as secure as it is right now. It’s this fact that has the folks at the North Pole on their toes making sure all flight plans are in order.
The smart folks at NORAD have set up a fancy site so you can follow Santa’s flight around the country on Christmas Eve.
Let’s just hope NORAD has upgraded their computers from this giant brick that was delievered in 1956 by IBM. It contained the first harddrive, storing a whopping 5mb of memory, in it’s one ton refrigerator-size case.
Merry Christmas everyone!

The first words out of Dr. Padgett’s mouth, during my first day in the university’s tv station…
“When you’re around tv news equipment, act like the cameras and mics are always on.”
I guess it can happen to anybody though…
Chicago Tribune’s coverage of G8.
America Voted…

…and I’m moving to Canada! How in the world did Chris get voted off last night? Not sure about bringing a child into a world that doesn’t value a gorgeous rocker with no hair and family values. Guess its too late now, though. (Right about now, T will probably want me to clarify that I religiously watched IDOL alone).
Despite the dark, dark fog that has settled over our great nation, today’s doctor’s appointment went well. The little one’s made no moves towards arrival. I’m sure he’s just bummed about the AI results last night, too. (We’ve observed from his movements that he’s a rocker - sorry, Dad!) Nonetheless, I’m sure he’ll snap back just in time.
