 This image provided by the US Mint shows the newly redesigned one-cent coin (penny) in 50 years which will be presented Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009 at the National Park Service’s Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, in Hodgenville, Kentucky. The obverse (heads side) will continue to bear the likeness of President Lincoln currently on the penny. The reverse (tails side) will reflect four different designs, each one representing a different aspect, or theme, of President Lincoln’s life. The themes for the reverse designs represent the four major aspects of Abraham Lincoln’s life, from left, include his birth and early childhood in Kentucky; his formative years in Indiana; his professional life in Illinois; and his presidency in Washington, D.C.
They left out the scene where he turned a trade dispute between the North and South into a Civil War, and then while losing that fight escalated it into an ethnic war by pretending to free the slaves. |
How I Got Fired
 A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, “What’s with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!”
The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such ineptitude!”
The pastor said, “Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let’s have a word with him.”
“Hi George. Say, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?”
The greens keeper replied, “Oh, yes, that’s a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.”
The group was silent for a moment.
The pastor said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”
The doctor said, “Good idea. And I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”
The engineer said, “Why can’t these guys just play at night?” |

Tracey went to work for the entire day ... I won’t see her again until 9:30 tonight or so. Bummer. She is totally unthrilled about work for the next couple of days. They are switching over computer systems and for a couple days everything will be done by pencil and paper. Oh What Fun!
I don’t have much going on today ... I do want to talk with somebody at the high school about the Prom Extortion Scheme as we are calling it, but that may not happen unless I just happen to stumble upon somebody who knows because I don’t think anyone there actually talks with anyone else so even those “in authority” are usually clueless.
I will be anxiously awaiting our snow that is supposed to start falling this afternoon. Maybe we can have some more snow days ... those are always fun! |

| Okay, now I need to know. What is the Prom Extortion Scheme? I skipped prom, so I have no idea |

| Hi Noah ... go up to the “Food For Thought” link on today’s page to see about the magazine sales to pay for the Prom. You will see the papers your brothers were given billing them $60 each because they didn’t sell any magazines as they were instructed to by the student council. I talked to the Principal this morning and he said they don’t have to pay the $60 if they don’t go to Prom or take the School Trip next year. |
