cspan and quakers
on our desktop.
read more about this photo and the event here...
this photo contains some important people in life okonkwo. president bill clinton who charles hearts. bono who maureen hearts and has brain washed charles to heart by subliminal brain transmission and music playing while asleep. our favorite west african diplomatic kofi. and ofcourse preseident obasanjo from 'the great giant'- nigeria. there are some birtish blokes too.
we had a picnic last week at our apartment. it was great. we're following the news in nigeria closely. the news of the rioting has been sad and the upcoming bruhaha over elections tense... i wanted to post a screen shot of my faresaver to belfast. i can't figure it out. you can currently fly round trip for under $500. please- someone do it- so i can live vicariously through you. our gas bill topped $400 and i seriosuly thought charles might pee his pants in befuddlement.
have i mentioned i caved and let the bishop (my nickname for charles) get basic cable? within the last year- we've gone from having a t.v. fast (for the first ten months of marriage) to having basic cable. sigh. basically, we watch cspan all the time now. we watched the state of the black union. it was depressingly interesting. we also get a clear signal for pbs. you know you're aging quickly when one considers an evening of pbs and cspan a great evening. but we have wonderful conversation. friday night we watched this great show that covered the world economic fourum on economic development in africa. being married to charles helps me understand what my mom means when she talks sweetly of how she misses my dad- but misses his mind most. i love charles' mind so much.
i'm reading a great book by parker palmer. i love me those quakers. the book is about vocation. i'm having one of those, 'why the hell am i not a teacher' months.
today's chewable vitamin:

Are you sure you would want to teach? Maybe you have the patience and whatever else to deal with the children. I tried subbing in Columbus, that was an adventure. Maybe it might be different for you.
hi marsha!
i think we've had this convo before...
hope you are well!

reading this post makes me miss you.
and i want cable too, but can't afford it b/c i opt for netflix instead. maybe i should switch?
cable is 12bones monthly.
i envy you for netflix.

I have your kind of cable package. It's also a compromise for Pavel, because without CNN it's worthless to me. He thinks such a flimsy package is pretty worthless, too, but at least with Food Network and the Discovery Channel we get by. We do watch access and CSPAN though, too. We're not old, just sophisticated. :)
My roommate has Netflix, mainly so's we can try out workout videos before buying.
Girl, Charles needs him a blog. Does Charles have him a blog? Maybe you could also post about how much you will miss Charles' body, too. Bodies are worth sumpthin' you know.
