Monday, Maynooth, Me, Molly, More Mice





FMM: 12 mi (Sat & Sun)

Happy Monday, Lads and Lassies,

There are some reasons that Baby Boomers shouldn't have digital cameras. See the second photo. Since Oprah always appears on the cover of her magazine, who else but I should be featured most often on Tiztalk? After all, you're reading this because you want to hear Tiz talk, right? Since we currently have no visitors to abuse, it's either Bob or I. Eventually, I may learn how to move around the pictures, put captions under them, and make my text go where it should, but in the meantime, I'm still amazed that I have ever gotten a picture to show up at all. The first one is mind BOGgling: it is I in front of a 5,000 year old piece of BOG at St. Patrick's College at Maynooth...We spent most of the weekend marching around Maynooth and Phoenix Park, a 1,000+ acre park here in Dublin, the largest enclosed park in Europe...Family Updates: Nancy's practice for her bit part in the Pi Phi Greek Week Skit was taking up 12 hours of her day yesterday. She was trying to figure out how to get out of practice so she could go home and do something frivolous: study for a test. Molly has a job interview today and has nothing suitable to wear. It seems that the nice suit I bought her last fall for just this purpose is now entirely unflattering and unsuitable. She was shopping at Gap at 4 PM yesterday..My niece Kit has a unique problem. Last week she was driving and felt a pain in her upper back. As her baby is due today (!!), she assumed it was a labor pain. However, the pain moved around her back in an unusual pattern. She stopped to clean out the car and discovered what she thought were chocolate sprinkles from ice cream. Since she is a certified health and safety inspector, she took a closer look and discovered that they were -- you guessed it --mouse droppings! Yes, a mouse is living in the seat of her car and was the cause of the strange feelings in her back! So far, the creature has not been captured. So, beware, ladies and gentlemen, and keep setting those mousetraps!...All the mouse droppings fit to print..

BOGgling minds every day,

I remain
