Too funny not to share

This was sent to me by my good buddy Perplexio:

One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed. He awakens to see George Washington standing by him. Bush asks him, "George, what's the best thing I can do to help the country?"

"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did", Washington advises, and then fades away...

The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas Jefferson moving through the darkened bedroom. Bush calls out, "Tom, please! What is the best thing I can do to help the country?"

"Respect the Constitution, as I did", Jefferson advises, and dims from sight...

The third night, sleep still does not come for Bush. He awakens to see the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed. Bush whispers, "Franklin, what is the best thing I can do to help the country?"

"Help the less fortunate, just as I did", FDR replies and fades into the mist...

Bush isn't sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure moving in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush pleads, "Abe, what is the best thing I can do right now to help the country?"

Lincoln replies, "Go see a play."

:D

The "Nantucket countdown" today is 81.

The countdown

I've decided to start posting the number of days left until Hub and I arrive on Nantucket. As of today, it's 83. This also means there are only 82 days left until I'm finished with school. I can barely contain my excitement.

By the way... this is where we'll be staying. Seems nice.

Also: I still hate this new google-blogger crap. Anyone who uses it knows how awful it is and probably shares my misery.

There once was a girl from Nantucket...

I'm not going to finish that thought...

I do have a few things to report today though and one of them has to do with Nantucket.

1) I booked a vacation for Hub and myself on Nantucket this May. We leave the day after my last class.

2) It truly will be my last class because I also graduate in May (hence the vacation - it's to celebrate the return of my social life). With any luck, I'll start grad school next year, probably in January. That will give me 7 full months of bliss.

3) I know I hardly blog anymore but it's because I hate google and consequently hate blogger now, since it (along with the rest of the world) is run by google.

4) I vow to change that. I've decided that I'm going to write at least once a week from now on. Probably more. Spread the word. I want to work up a good fan-base.

That's all for now. More later.
