Happiness is finding another 6-pk of Diet Dr. Pepper in the trunk of my car and not having to go to the store. My needs are simple, Boys and Girls. I would like for March Madness to be over so the internet is not so slow. Maybe it's a marketing ploy, Bellsouth dial-up is going the way of the rotary phone, sign up for DSL or else. I would not put it past 'em.

I just read an article about research that showed "whiny, insecure kids grew up to be conservatives; the confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals. " I'm not so sure about that. Benji was definitely more whiny than Ricky (2nd-borns usually are), and he's very liberal. They were both confident, resilient, and self-reliant, but Ricky went in the conservative direction. Just goes to show, my kids turned out to be as exceptional as I always claimed they were.

Mike wants me to come watch Capote with him. I'm not sure I can sit through the whole thing. Truman Capote always gave me the creeps. I heard a story on MPB the other day about the myth being laid to rest that he wrote To Kill a Mockingbird instead of Harper Lee.
