WE REPORT.. YOU DECIDE..

Put aside whatever you think about gun control for a minute and consider this:

A man and his 17-year old daughter come to town for the weekend to look for a house. They're moving to sunny Florida. In the Howard Johnson's, after a long day of searching, they order room service. The knock on the door comes.. but when they open it.. two men burst into the room with knives and lead pipes.

They push dad down onto the bed.. and one takes the 17-year old into the bathroom and locks the door. You can imagine the sounds dad heard from the bed with some guy holding a lead pipe over him. But dad carries a gun. It's hidden under the pillow on the very same bed where he's now held captive. Short version: one minute later one pipe-toting thug is dead.. the other is about to die in the hospital a few days later. Father and daughter are fine.. although they've changed their minds about the Sunshine State.

I've never been a fan of guns myself.. and would probably fall on the gun control side of the argument if I ever had to argue one way or the other.. but it would be hard to make that argument right now.

DO I GET A RAISE?

Moved up 6 market sizes this year to 70.... does that mean I get more money?

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.

APPARENTLY, I HAVE A DISNEYLAND KEYCHAIN..

Two men I've never met before reintroduced me to my life this morning. My life - in the form of 143 tagged items and boxes. As they were unloaded off the truck one by one.. it felt like little pieces of me being put back together. On top of it all - they found a Disneyland keychain somewhere in the middle of it all. Who knew I ever had one..

As I sit here writing this - my parents are at my house painting it. How cool is that. The desk from hell that never fits through any doors.. somehow got into the tiny back bedroom that will be my home office. Tomorrow night, I will sleep on my own sheets in my own bed in my own (new) room. So cool. I will no longer open a suitcase in the morning to find clothes for work. After almost two months, that gets a little old. Of course, the dripping faucet is mine as well.. the pitter patter of water has imprinted itself on my brain - so that I can still here it in my head while I sit here at work.

Now.. if I can just find another relative who likes to mow lawns..
