You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey TB, have you read a book called The Bottom Billion by Paul Collier? I'm reading it at the moment, and I was wondering what you thought of it.

Lori, when I had to visit a clinical site in Huntsville, I visited the space center and ended up having a pretty damned good time!

Billytea have not read it. I admit the call for "carefully calibrated military interventions" is one I find suspicious, but can't comment until I read it. Unfortunately, my schedule is full until July.

Yeah. His position is rather better principled than, say, the current administration's, being focused on preventing genocidee, internecine civil war and/or state collapse (such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia), but it still carries the risk of going wrong, and keeping governments committed to higher-minded principles may be an even greater challenge.
Still, for all that I'd have preferred to see (for instance) intervention in Rwanda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, did you know you are no longer being a scofflaw with the flying with the lighter in your pocket?
I did! Thanks.

I got info on department birthdays from the employee who used to have my job - she gave me her calendar, I copied the dates.
I had yesterday as her b'day. I got slammed in the afternoon and so did not go get her flowers as planned (not everyone would get flowers, but she is the ex-admin and when I asked the boss, he said to get something). So, this morning I run early to get a nice bouquet. I take them to her apologize they were not here yesterday - BLANK STARE. Apparently, what I read as her b'day on her calendar, was her DOG'S b'day. good lord. I hope I can still get reimbursed.
