Thought of the moment:

Osama bin Laden located.

Bin Laden is living in South Waziristan in the Baluchistan Mountains of the Baluchistan Region, Lehman told the San Bernadino Sun, after delivering a keynote speech on terrorism at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.
"There is an American presence in the area, but we can't just send in troops," he told the Sun. "If we did, we could have another Vietnam, and the United States cannot afford that right now."

My comments, via IM to Dave:
me: ???
me: We have another Vietnam already. Why not more? Just add to the collection!
me: We could systematically transform the entire middle east into a whole matching set of Vietnams.

WOULDN'T THAT MAKE FOR A GREAT MANTELPIECE DECORATION? EH? EH?

Having bin Laden's decaptitated head in the middle would at least be a consolation.

Judging by the caps lock and overuse of italics, I seem to be getting excited again. Turning to other news...


I think I'm going to start keeping score on how many times I get urged to marry Dave during this whole Gram's-wake-and-funeral brouhaha. You all realize, of course, that he is the youngest of her grandchildren, and is the only unmarried one.


Tally so far since arrival at the hospital just after Gram's passing:
Aunt Carol: 1
Aunt Jean: 1
total: 2.

Watch this space. There will be more. Oh yes. i'm going to keep an index card and a pen in my pocket, and keep score, with attributions.


You know who's the only one who doesn't bug me about it?
His mom.

Grim.
