 | Japanese cranes are seen in a snow-covered field at the Tsurui village in the Akan district of Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan. About 900 Japanese cranes (Grus japonensis), also known as tanchos, inhabit the Kushiro Marshland, an area of nearly 27,000 hectares. |





 I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, Would that get me into Heaven? NO! the children answered. If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven? Again, the answer was, NO! By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun! Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven? I asked them again. Again, they all answered, NO! I was just bursting with pride for them. Well, I continued, then how can I get into Heaven? A five-year-old boy shouted out, YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.
A man calls his boss one morning and tells him that he is staying home because he is not feeling well. Whats the matter? he asks I have a case of anal glaucoma, he says in a weak voice. What the hell is anal glaucoma? I cant see my ass coming into work today. | |

A loud boom woke me up this morning. Another bright flash and boom convinced me our first thunderstorm of the season wasnt going to let me get back to sleep ... so here I am. Tracey has to open this morning so she will be out of bed in the next few minutes to get ready. A&B are leaving for the Roboteers event in Milwaukee so they will be gone by 5 a.m. and the house will be empty except for me. They will be staying in Milwaukee for two nights and wont be home until late Saturday night. The boys are still very disappointed in how the robot competition has turned out again this year with their so-called advisors building the robot again. Ben doesnt even want to drive the thing because he is sure it is a total loser. How sad that the school has so little control of this program that two kids who arent even students and the father of one of them could turn the entire project into their own little playground. Shameful. I spent another hour yesterday filling out more forms and making copies of our tax returns to send to ICC for the financial aid people. They keep asking for tax records for A&B and I cant seem to convince them the boys live at home, dont have jobs and have no income except what we give them. Im afraid all of this is going to be a waste of time anyway but I keep filling out the papers just in case. The Education Mafia floats on a sea of paper too. |
