New Trimester

My schedule this term is much different than last, but I am getting used to it. I have back to back 1.5 hour lectures on Wed and Fri and a 3 hr Thursday nite lecture. Mix in 2 2 hr labs (T, R) and it gets kind of hectic. Good thing is I have most all the slides ready for lecture. I am making new presentations for APII lab,since I didn't teach it last term. THEN, on Wednesday and Monday nite, beginning on Jan 18th (my 50th Birthday), I am teaching a 6:30 pm class at Southwest Tennessee Com. College! The money will be good, but I will be good and tired by Friday afternoons. I don't have any day classes on Monday, so I can use that day to recuperate and get ready for each new week!

Why can't this country deal with the concept of ABORTIONS? Every new judge means more ABORTION crap! Abortions are here to stay in our society. Making them illegal won't stop them, it will just lead to more jail time and more deaths and serious injuries do to illegal abortions being done by unqualified people. If it is ever made illegal, any idiot off the street can set up shop and pawn himself off as a doctor and get cash for abortions! This Nation needs to grow up and move on. There are many more problems we need to deal with. The same person that so adamantly opposes abortion will blow up a clinic and kill innocent folks! How does that work? Murder = OK; Abortions = No No? The fact of the matter is, not every pregnancy needs to go full term. Many, many unwanted children are brought into an already overcrowded world and passed around or pawned off on relatives or, even worse, the government to be cared for! Why not let a female terminate a pregancy in peace if they so choose? What the hell business is it of anyone else?

Oops, got a bit excited there. I don't know who will follow GW into the white house, but the poor soul is going to have a HUGE mess to clean up. GW's dirty little war, his destruction of the environment, his mounting up a monumental national debt that might never be balances again... heck, the next prez will be almost destined to fail simply because it could take decades to recover from this idiot Bush! The very first time I heard the man speak publicly, I new he was and idiot and not smart enough to run a baseball team, much less lead the free world!

Ok, enough of GW. I guess I will get back to work now. Oh yeah, my team, the UK Wildcats absolutely suck this season, so much of my joy in life is gone until the NCAA tourny is over... UK fans look forward to watching our team dominate the SEC and get deep into the Big Dance, but not this year! I guess I will cheer for the U of Memphis Tigers, who are ranked #5 and look really good so far! And, their colors are almost identical to UK!

Good day.
