On what grounds, I wonder?

I know my office will only say that we were employed there, or are employed
there, not any other information.

The Brunswick company has this year stopped making Flexible Flyer
sleds with runners on them. Naturally, this is the year my child has
asked for a runner sled.
Hopefully the sleds are still available in stores such as Dunham's. I
saw them a few weeks ago. I guess I'll be out looking tomorrow.

Kiwanis has used sleds so let us know if you need one.

I didn't like runner sleds as a kid. The snow where I lived was always
too soft for them. The best sled I ever had was a plastic toboggan. Of
course, it was impossible to steer, but crashing into trees is part of
childhood. ;>

I know all about sleding into trees. I did my sleding at my Aunt's
place. She had a hill in the back yard that ended in a cluster of small
trees. If you didn't turn in time, you'd run right through them,
invariably ripping some fomr of clothing. I messed up three pairs of
pants in one Winter.
Ah, those were the days.

re resp:373: Sindi, how much is Kiwanis charging? Are the sleds in
good shape?

I have no idea as I have not gone there. They usually have cheap sleds.

Muscles aching. I feel like I've done heavy lifting and had shots in my
arms.
Throat pain. Coughing.
No fever.
I was fine this morning. By 1:00 I was spacing out and feeling weird.
Might have I acquired the influenza that has been running amok and I did
not get a shot for?

Sounds like you have what Jim had and it will last a couple of weeks. He also
had no fever. He had partial laryngitis for a few days. Try hot baths. You
will feel tired and probably need to take some time off work in order to get
better faster. I don't think this is flu. There are lots of different
viruses going around right now.

Thanks.
Alas, time off is not an option. Getting the kids ready for exams and
I'm being evaluated this week.

Hmm.... then you should be able to take some time off in about a week,
when the kids are all out sick with what you've got. ;/

The wife of a former colleague and current "town mate", apparently in good
health to look at her, died suddenly on Sunday. She was only 48.
Unbelievable. :-(

IBB former Illinois Senator Paul Simon died today of complications from
heart surgery at age 75. Senator Simon was one of the few unabashed
liberals in the Senate who never tried to be anything but what he was. I
worked for Senator Simon when he ran for President in 1988, in Atlanta and
in Iowa. He wore a bow tie and repeatedly ignored his own political
advisors who said he looked nerdy and old fashioned wearing a bow tie, and
that he should wear regular ties. Wearing regular ties wasn't part of who
he was, and Simon was a man of great integrity, and he wasn't going to
change his look or his views to satisfy other people. Simon's bow tie
became the symbol of his campaign, and appeared on his campaign buttons
and tshirts.
I met Senator Simon and thought he was one of the most genuine, most
decent of any politicians/lawmakers that I have known or seen. I was
proud to work on his campaign. Senator Simon's last public act was this
past Thursday, when-- critically ill-- he spoke directly from his hospital
bed in a telephone interview and endorsed Howard Dean for president. It
was that important to him to make this clear before he was too sick to
express himself or had died.
Senator Paul Simon RIP. A great american.

re resp:384: My condolences to her friends and family, Kevin. It's
shocking when someone as young as that dies suddenly.

It is truly sobering. They have 4 kids, young middle school through just
graduated from high school. I don't know details. I admit to the weakness
of wanting to know details, looking for answers, as if there are any.
An auto wreck one can at least fathom. Having lost a mom on Christmas Eve,
I know how painful this will be to them. For those who believe in such
things, prayers for God's healing would be appreciated.

the 4-6 inches of snow that fell last friday is all gone, victim to
Pittsburgh's sun (!!) and the rain that fell last night.

I'm bummed that I've been unable so far see any of the second half
of HBO's "Angels in America", due to other commitments.
