Sad day in sports
RIP Pat Summerall. A broadcasting legend passes away at the age of 82. No broadcaster called more Super Bowls (16) than him.
riddles
You're in a mansion and the power's out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn't matter which.) Now you see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn't matter which you pick). Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says "Death from drowning," another says "Death from machine guns," and the last one says "Death from electric chair." Then you see a big sign off to the side that says "Or stay in the mansion and starve to death." What do you choose and still live?
The law.com breaking
Parting or dividing by force and violence a solid substance, or piercing, penetrating, or bursting through the same. 2. In cases of burglary and house-breaking, the removal, of any part of the house, or of the fastenings provided to secure it, with violence and a felonious intent, is called a breaking. 3. The breaking is actual, as in the above case; or constructive, as when the burglar or house-breaker gains an entry by fraud, conspiracy or threats. In England it has been decided that if the sash of a window be partly open, but not sufficiently so to admit a person, the raising of it so as to admit a person is not a breaking of the house. No reasons are assigned. It is difficult to conceive, if this case be law, what further opening will amount to a breaking.

In the acts of limitation it is provided that persons lying under certain disabilities, such as being non compos, an infant, in prison, or under coverture, shall have the right to bring actions after the disability shall have been removed. 6. In the construction of this saving in the acts, it has been decided that two disabilities shall not be joined when they occur in different persons; as, if a right of entry accrue to a feme covert, and during the coverture she die, and the right descends to her infant son. But the rule is otherwise when there are several disabilities in the same person; as, if the right accrues to an infant, and before he has attained his full age, he becomes non compos mentis; in this case he may establish his right after the removal of the last disability.

Sandi Update
She had her shot early this morning and
seems to be doing okay. So far so good.
She did not get an afternoon nap today
like she should have because our phone
was constantly ringing. Over a dozen
phone calls this afternoon and things seem
to be coming together. Nothing is totally
finalized, but, this seems to be the current
plan.
In about ten days she will be in
Jacksonville, Florida at the Mayo Cancer
Center Clinic for her stem cell transplant.
Because of everything here with Scott in
school, Karl's lawsuit against Kroger for
his wrongful termination which is getting
steadily closer to a very public trial, my
own health, and other major issues, I am
not going to be able to make the trip.
Somebody has to stay herewith the boys
(both special needs and they can't drive)
and hold down the fort. Fortunately, a
friend of hers has agreed to go and will be
flying back and forth at various stages over
the next two months to help Sandi as she
goes through the process. The process is
very complicated and I will explain later
when I am in better shape to do so. The
bottom line is Sandi will be gone for two
months and I can't be there or do anything
about it at all.
I'm very frustrated that things are being
handled this way as it would have been
easier on the patient and us if she had
stayed here with the doctors she has been
working with the last several months. We
are not being given the choice to make the
medical decisions on this as her employer,
Wal-Mart, is mandating everything
regardless of what the doctors involved,
the insurance company, etc., think. We
have no choice at all! The only saving
grace in this is the fact that her cancer
doctor here spent a lot of time in the past
working with the man who will be working
Sandi's case while she is in Florida and
has tremendous respect for him.
I have to trust this stem cell transplant
thing is not only going to work, but this
trip and everything with it is the best thing
for her. And somehow come to terms with
the fact that there is not a damn thing I
can do about any of it.
