I read today with concern that MT.Net friend and Garner mayor Ronnie Williams has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
I wish him well with his treatment.

Jackpot on school reassignments
Kelly and I danced with glee when we discovered this morning that Wake County School System’s proposed reassignment will have the kids going to nearby Enloe High School rather than across town to Leesville High. Its nothing against Leesville itself, of course. Its just that the distance to travel to and from Leeesville would cut considerably into the kids’ free time.
Enloe is an award-winning high school roughly a mile away. It is ranked by Newsweek as one of the top 100 high schools in the country. And Ligon Middle School is a fantastic school as well. We’re all very excited about the proposed changes.
If all that wasn’t enough to cheer about, the reassignment webserver runs Linux! Too cool.
Down the Tubes
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (R-felon) has lost his reelection campaign to Anchorage mayor Mark Begich. Maybe Sen. Stevens can use his newfound free time to learn about the Internet, which he supposedly regulated as a member of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Bonus link: I love it that Google Chrome has a “Tubes” Easter egg built in.
Aches and pains
I think an appropriate gift for my upcoming 40th birthday is a bulk supply of ibuprofen. Trying to leash-train a two-year-old Labrador is quite a workout.
