Lots of Stuff Happening

Next Sunday, Nov 11th, we leave for vacation. WooHoo!! One week in Morocco and one week in Spain. I'm hunting for electrical adapters today so I can take my iPod wall charger and a unit for rechargeable batteries.

We're leaving in the shadow of the upcoming midterm elections, which take place Tuesday, Nov 7th. Dems look poised to retake the House (subpoena power!) and possibly the Senate. Charles Taylor is too close to call with Heath Shuler. I'm volunteering at MoveOn.org here in Asheville tonight.

Check out V838MON a very ho-hum variable star that went nova in 2002 and just kept getting brighter and brighter. Heard about it on the Slackerpedia Galactica Podcast

Luke is out of school as Yancey closed all schools till Weds, Nov 8th due to a flu epidemic.

Last Saturday, I ran in the Bursnville Town Scamper 5K. I finished in 32:44. Today, I ran 5K on the Fitness Center's treadmill in 27:30 (no hills). I'm keeping a running log on my Protopage Site.
