We watched the film "Just Married" last night. There are some funny parts, but it's not a 'must see'.

Yesterday marked the 50 year anniversary of the color television. Interesting.

The Beagle.U virus is out. Also, why did Symantec decide to skip versions P and Q of beagle? They jump from Beagle.O (aka Bagle.Q) to Beagle.R. Weird.

The problem with so many of this week's major social issues (gay marriage, fetus violence, constitutional amendments and states rights, Pledge of Allegiance and separation of church and state, war in Iraq, etc.) is that both sides of each argument are right in many respects - pieces of the truth in all opinions. It becomes a matter of picking the one with the most truth, but none have all the truth - very tricky and convoluted.

Our whole family has had this nasty cold this past week, which has included sinus headaches, coughing, throat tickles, watering nose, congestion, and general malaise. Not fun. I played the piano in church last Sunday (to accompany a singer) while I was majorly sick, and I messed up a little - I'd like to blame it on the fact that I wasn't feeling well. =(

Misti watched the cartoon movie "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" yesterday, but I didn't, although I think we've seen it before.

It's mildly funny to me that Presbyterians are sometimes called the 'frozen chosen', because I'd always heard that the 'frozen chosen' were LDS missionaries serving in Canada...   =)   Speaking of Canada, apparently Canada wants to annex the Turks and Caicos Islands (currently a British colony) to create another new province - in the Carribbean! Mike and Brad should love that one. Glad to hear that they are back safe and sound from Chicago and that they did a little caching on their trip.

Why would Yahoo put the Pope's message on the Sabbath in the 'Oddly Enough' section? Why is the Pope's statement news to anyone, or odd, or shocking at all? I think he's right on target.

Two interesting human body stories today: eating boogers is good for your immune system, and male circumcision protects against AIDS. Weird, but interesting.

I was glad to see that Presidential candidate John Kerry is against gay marriage, at least in terminology.
