Song of the Day:
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
This Day in History:
In 1606, Dutch painter Rembrandt was born in Leiden, Netherlands.
In 1870, Georgia became the last Confederate state readmitted to the Union. Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixieland!
In 1916, Boeing Company, originally known as Pacific Aero Products, was founded in Seattle.
In 1948, President Truman was nominated for another term of office by the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia. Yawn.....
In 1965, U.S. scientists displayed close-up photographs of the planet Mars taken by Mariner Four. But don't judge too harshly; Mars was young at the time,and needed the money.
In 1971, in a surprise announcement, President Nixon told the nation he would visit the People's Republic of China. Now, why in the world would Nixon want to go to China? Food? Improve trade relations? Fulfill an old Vulcan proverb that "only Nixon could go to China"? (See: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)Hmmm......
In 1976, a 36-hour kidnap ordeal began for 26 schoolchildren and their bus driver as they were abducted near Chowchilla, Calif., by three gunmen and imprisoned in an underground cell. (The captives escaped unharmed.)
In 1992, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton claimed the Democratic presidential nomination at the party's convention in New York.
Word of the Day:
malaise ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-lz, -lz)
n.
1. A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an illness.
2. A general sense of depression or unease
Shakespeare Quote of the Day:
"An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told". - KING RICHARD III (Act IV, Scene IV)
Summer Camp:
Well, my oldest is finishing up her last days of Summer Camp at Camp Teko. Memories of staying in a particle board cabin, sweltering heat, rainstorms, muddy ground, camp fires, horse riding and swimming are all hers to create and cherish, like the rest of us. We recieved a leter from her, written on the first day of camp.
She's on her own, with only her social skills to get her through this. Is she making friends? IS she having a good time? What did she have to eat? Can Iafford to send her for another week? It's a horrible thought to commit to paper, but as much as I adore my daughter, it's been nice having some quiet in the house, with the sisters not fighting with each other.
Still, I can't wait for her to get home. Mom is about to burst with nervousness, not having her daughter close by. Absence is making the paranoia stronger.
Picture of Catherine Bell for no reason at all:
O'Neal in Heat
Shaq O'Neal has been traded to the Miami Heat, breaking up the Lakers 1-2 punch, and completing 2 of the 3 curses I heaped upon the Lakers in a recent update. NOw, there isn't anyone in the entire league that matches up with Shaq at center. However, Tim Duncan and Yao Ming at least gave him a challenge. In the east? Nobody. NO ONE AT ALL. IF you think he dominated before....imagine what he'll do with lesser competition, and an inner rage to prove the Lakers AND ESPECIALLY Kobe wrong.
He's not going to have the same amount of help in Miami as he did in Los Angeles, but he'll have Dwayne Wade, and there are other pieces coming, I am sure.
Changes for the better(?):
I've made a few changes here at the Daily Updaet, allowing for feedback from my public. If you look below, you now have the oppurtunity to post your own comments, in response to issues I might bring up, or topics you'd like to see some comment on. Since some of you aer employed by the company that USED to allow this newsletter, it might be best to adopt a moniker. Like, uh...."Russ"ty Tail Pipe, or "Don"-inator, or "E"-Coli. Ok, maybe not that last one. I'll leave it up to you. You get the idea. In fact, I think this will work better than it ever did in any version of the Daily UPdate previous!
A small update today, but there's another coming on Saturday. We'll see you then.
