happy birthday sweet nora...

i decided nora's day took precedence over the other events that i am reading about today.

here are the cliff notes to the competitors that lost...
bolton's nomination to the U.N. post
sudan's future.

these topics are too much of a downer for me to write about today.

today's chewable vitamin
"the way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity - even under the most difficult circumstances - to add a deeper meaning to his life. he may remain brave, dignified, and unselfish. or in the bitter fight for self-preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than an animal. here lies the chance for a man either to make use of or to forgo the opportunities of attaining the moral values that a difficult situation may afford him. and this decides whether he is worthy of his sufferings or not."
