So, I finished my list of 1,000 things and have decided to start over with it.  It has been a good exercise in optimism.  And trust me, a healthy dose of optimism has kept me afloat over the last few weeks.  I am thinking about entitling this blog "thoughts from a recovering pessimist."  I think I may just do that...someday.

As for the pics, I have FINALLY figured out the issue.  It involves going back and saving each one of my pics on the computer and reposting them.  Again...something I may eventually get to.  I have finally got around to almost ordering my computer (a.k.a. I think I am going to do it this week), so it will sit on my to-do list this week.

So...to test my theory on the pics, I am trying to post something that made me smile today.

Tomorrow, I begin creating the syllabus for my next feat:  teaching policy. What in Hades name did I think I was doing when I signed up for this?!?  Well...it will be an adventure...and I am guessing I have a few things to learn in the next week.  Details to come...
