A lot of talk in HILL today about North Korea, Kim Jong II, and this whole nuclear missile mess. Mr T calmly concluded that the whole business will be resolved and forgotten in less than a year. It's interesting how quickly the things which captivate so much of our attention are left by the wayside. Think Elian Gonzalez; think Afghanistan's reconstruction; think the continuing strife in northern ireland. It doesn't all just go away; we just seem to ignore it.

Candy drive begins today, if we get the candy, anyway. The less money I have to give mr tressler *remembers bank account sadly* the better.
