You're a Duggar, aren't you? AREN'T YOU!? I learned that the police have set up a new speed trap along my commute, and I hope to remember this new fact as I pass it this evening. VP |

Ooops. So Scarlett is not so good? I heard that she and her duo partner will appear on "Ellen" today, but I have never heard her sing.

From what I remember, her voice is surprisingly low and not very interesting. But YMMV. On another musical note, I learned all the words to "Brown Sugar." |

That flying to Halifax is hella expensive if you wait too long to book travel.
Also that our research office does not consider a trip to Canada "foreign travel."

I learned that one of my students is also an "exotic dancer" at a local strip club. She got arrested for soliciting an undercover cop and showed up in the police blotter in the paper this morning. Should that count as an excused absence?
