:donut: Spring break is over and it is back to work now. The big new here in Houston is the gas prices. They jumped 4 cents the week before the break and jumped 10 cents overnight at the start of break-ouch.
I worked at a new hospital so I should be getting some extra money (always welcomed). The 2 highlights of the break were St Patrick's Day at the Mucky Duck Pub. Of course, I ran into a bunch of my students AND parents with a pint in my hand (always a special moment if you are not use to pubs).

The other highlight....I suffer thru Fox Sunday Morning because it is the only talk program that comes on before I go to Sunday school and services. This last Sunday was the payoff. Dick Durbin left Chris Wallace pale and speechless (that look on Wallace's face was priceless). Durbin tried to be diplomatic when Wallace pressed him about Feingold censure statement. Wallace would not let up and kept trying to paint Durbin in the corner. Wallace finally said something like would you vote for censure and Durbin said yes. Wallace repeated again because he couldn't believe his ears (this ia when the blood drained from his face). Durbin was very calm and matter of fact at this point and replied again. The second highlight came at the round table discussion with Brit Hume. He is such a pompous condescending, arrogant ass and has all but called Juan Williams 'boy' on several occasions. Well it was the "Wrath of Juan". I can't remember exactly what they were discussing (poll#, lying about Iraq, illegal wire tap) and Bill Cristol agreed with Juan. It hit a nerve and Brit Hume threw a hissy fit-a full fledged temper tantrum. Even Bill leaned back. Juan sat their until he wound down (Chris couldn't get a word in) and then jumped him again with a fact (think it was WMD or something) and Brit flew off again, looking even MORE childish-if that was possible. Juan's lips curled up just slightly. It was classic-like Jon Stuart's thrashing of Tucker. Brit didn't even know he had been out boxed (but Cristol's facial expressions gave it away). I hope it is on CanOFun-it was great.

Happy Hunting and watch out for the bears.
