1. It is snowing outside. It has been snowing for almost seven hours. Hopefully no school/late start for tomorrow.

2. My daddy is watching FOTR. I will join him shortly.

3. I should really start reading "The Grapes of Wrath", since the book report is due in two weeks, yeah?

4. There is no number four.

5. Something interesting I learned in history today:

Pretend that you had to vote on a candidate based on only what I tell you. (If you've heard this before, don't spoil it for others):

Candidate A: Has had two known mistresses, drinks 8-10 martinis every night.

Candidate B: Sleeps until noon everyday, has been kicked out of office twice, chainsmokes, drinks a quart of whiskey every night.

Candidate C: Decorated war hero, doesn't smoke, and occasionally has a beer.

Congratulations if you voted for C, because you just elected Hitler as the leader of your country. :)

A was Roosevelt and B was Churchill. Never judge a book by its cover, eh? (Please don't bother correcting me, etc., I am only repeating what my history teacher said today.)

I actually liked Steinbeck. I could have written all essays on him, but we were only allowed to pick one non-Canadian author.

Congratulations if you voted for C, because you just elected Hitler as the leader of your country. :)

There's an extended list of quizzes like that somewhere. In one of them, based on terrible circumstances I don't recall, I thought a woman should have an abortion. The baby was Beethoven.

I've heard this one about Hitler and the one about Beethoven before. Something about his mum being mentally ill, and him being the 8th child, or something. (Was actually a lot worse than that).

But whether a man drinks martinis or not has nothing to do with whether he makes a good leader or not.

8-10 is quite a few though, is the point, I believe.

Yeah, our history teacher told us that one too. Intelligent man, my history teacher.
