Our Saturday was spent helping Son2 and GF move out of their apartment. GF's stuff went to the duplex she is sharing with two girls from her graduate school class. Son2's stuff went into storage. No, it wasn't a breakup. Son2 will be staying with GF until he moves to the DC area in September, provided Congress gets off its lazy, idiotic, partisan backside and passes a budget. The starting date of his fellowship at the military medical university attached to Walter Reed depends on when those self-serving, entitled, attention-seeking, blankety-blanks get their act together. Am I bitter? I think it's time to revive my DRAIN campaign. Don't Relect Anyone In November. Sunday I spent doing reading and writing homework for the seminar I've been taking. We have one more virtual session next Sunday and then it's over. I've truly enjoyed the seminar and have learned a lot. Now, it's Monday. For my former teaching colleagues at my last school, it is the first day of the last week of summer break. Their workdays start on 8/7. I'll be camping at Jordan Lake that week. I hope you had a great weekend. How is your week starting off?

The politicians claim we need experienced leadership. The leadership we've experienced since about 1968 has a lot to be desired.

@DWDavis The leadership we have right now is too worried about proving the other side wrong at all costs. Maybe new ones would work together more

@wolfgirl569 Those on their third, fourth, or more term in office need to be taught that they are eminently replaceable.

Moving anyone anywhere can be pretty stressful. My week has started off well and I intend/hope to keep it going that way. lol

Tomorrow I head up to Raleigh, NC to observe Son2's presentation to his dissertation committee. Hopefully, before lunch tomorrow, he will become Son2, PhD.

@JudyEv Son2 passed his defense. He is now officially Dr. Davis. The first in our family.

Thank you. The work the team he is joining will do will benefit many wounded and injured both in and out of the military.

Looking for a useful politician is like asking if anyone in a seedy dive bar has seen your missing diamond ring.

Are you happy not to be going back to the class room August 7.

I hope things go through soon for your son's fellowship. Nothing much going on here. Enjoy your day.
