I have to disagree with everyone who thinks Taggart’s accent is terrible. Hey, he’s just form a different part of Austrialia. It’s like the difference between a Boston accent and a New York accent. They’re not that far apart, but they sound different. And what about the difference between someone from Boston and some one from, say Savannah? They sound nothing alike. So…. just because his accent doesn’t sound like what WE American’s think it SHOULD sound like… doesn’t mean it isn’t right.
Those pesky ends
I need to go back and take a couple of knitting lessons. I can’t seem to get the last stitch (or 1st one) small. It’s always this gigantic loop that I have to pull extra tight when I start the row. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It’s irritating. Bah!

Makes Perfect Sense??
I got the following in an e-mail. I think it’s a good analogy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move. Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed.. She has never run a City, County, or State. When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the White House, former Clinton Advisor, Dick Morris, stated “so has the pastry chef.”
The Present
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and today;
Today is a gift, that is why we call it the present.
