Everyone needs a goose egg

...on your head, right smack dab in the middle of the forehead, to realize why headache pain relievers really are great.

I was lucky enough to whack my head while going for one of Bubba's dropped M&Ms on the floor. I did not want to take the dog to the vet for eating too many of them. My reward is a big headache today, which is, thankfully, subsiding, so I could write this.

Outside of other fun activities, I'm still doing my PR work for the upcoming Notre Dame High School reunion on 6/25 (see www.ndalum.net for more details). It's going pretty well. Never underestimate the power of a parish secretary. They're the folks who do most of the work. I am so happy to be working with so many of them. They're making my task a lot easier.

My background check was rescheduled to next Wednesday. The scheduler was not real time, so it did not confirm my appointment, which I originally scheduled for yesterday. It just rescheduled me for the following week, and my spam filter on my e-mail promptly sorted it to the Junk folder and you can guess where it went. At least, they don't use ink anymore for that fingerprinting. Now, I just go back with my $100 check and my fingers, and all will be lovely.

Here are a couple of fun articles I found today whilst meandering through cyberspace:

The World's Snappiest Comebacks (from the Washington Post).
I love Nicole Kidman's heel comment.

A Mistakeover
How technology makes some things really good, and others, not so good. (also from the Washington Post)
