It's Tuesday, Sept. 16th, and it's Tom's Mom's birthday!
We've got a little surprise in store, but can't write about it until tomorrow, as mom reads this blog.... so you'll have to wait and see tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Fall has arrived in Maryland... finally. The dry cold front that came through yesterday afternoon (yup, none of the much-needed rain) wiped away the abysmal humidity of Sunday. It was about 59F here this morning, which made for a great early morning (6:30am) walk with the dogs. Today at 1pm though, I have to take Dolly to the Annapolis Veterinary Hospital for more tests, prior to her surgery tomorrow. I'm stressed over it, of course.
Speaking of, we're pretty concerned about the economy after yesterday's news:
Wall Street Posts Worst Loss Since 2001
NY Times
Despite reassurances by the Bush administration, the Dow fell 4.4 percent on Monday, dragged by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the sale of Merrill Lynch.
Whoever says the economy is good (I think John McCain said it was sound, at least
3 times in recent weeks) is not paying attention.
Happy Tuesday!
