- Jeb Bush says it’s time to leave Reagan behind: (http://is.gd/wmyY). Um, Jeb … Your dad and brother are nothing like Reagan. Try again. #
- @mtgdude No, I didn’t. I might try that after work tomorrow. Thanks! in reply to mtgdude #
- My whole afternoon has been wasted between trips to Lowe’s and Home Depot because of an antique bathroom faucet. AND IT’S STILL NOT FIXED. #
- Church was awesome, and now it’s off to Lowe’s. #
- Getting ready for church. So far, it’s a peaceful morning. #
- R.I.P. Jack Kemp. “GRIDLOCK!” #
- Just got back from “Wolverine.” Needed a little more action, but was pretty doggone good. Will be buying it when it comes out. #
- Yay! Our sixth potential buyer is coming to look at our house today at 3 p.m. Glad we already planned to be gone! BUY! BUY! BUY! #
- I’m up, but I’m definitely not awake. I need some “Slap Chop Rap” to help! http://is.gd/w7le #
- A fight broke out at my house today: http://is.gd/w1z6 #
- RT @Drudge_Report: Swine flu may be less potent than first feared… http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090502/D97TQKO80.html … You think?? #
- Outta here! Family portrait tonight, then “Wolverine” tomorrow. Should be a relaxing weekend (I hope). #
- @awbryant You can thank the 24-hour news channels and government hype for all the coverage of this mess.
in reply to awbryant # - @KKimbrell Just for you, Katers! http://tinyurl.com/6ukakq in reply to KKimbrell #
- @gparmer I’m wondering if parking services will ticket some of the students. There were some parked behind Samford without correct tags. in reply to gparmer #
- Yay! I finished watching “The Office” three minutes before the work day starts. I loved it! Take that, NBC 38!! #
- @KKimbrell C’mon down! We’ll see what strings we can pull. in reply to KKimbrell #
- @bowerep I hear you! I didn’t like giving up WSFA, but we’re about to move, so I’m waiting on the bigger antenna. in reply to bowerep #
- Many thanks to my pals Bob and Charlie at WSFA for answering my digital signal question. C’mon June 12! #
- @jbrannan Come to think of it, I do have some strings in Samford I could probably pull, too.
in reply to jbrannan # - @jbrannan Yep. Raycom has eyeballed that station for so long. I’m glad they finally got it. in reply to jbrannan #
- @jbrannan My connection to WSFA is I used to do stories for them when I was with WTVM, too. Sister stations have awesome perks. in reply to jbrannan #
- @jbrannan True, however I do know one person up here that got clearance to get WSFA. I’ve got strings there I can pull, too … maybe. in reply to jbrannan #
- @jbrannan I know for a fact none of those stations hand out waivers. I think WSFA might, though. Hmmm… in reply to jbrannan #
- @jbrannan Thank goodness. I’m tempted to pay the extra $2/month to get the NY / LA NBC feeds until we get our new house and bigger antenna. in reply to jbrannan #
- @jbrannan We’re on DirecTV b/c Charter didn’t play nice with the bill. We’ve got an antenna that always picks up NBC 38. Except Thursdays. in reply to jbrannan #
- NBC 38 strikes again! No over-the-air signal, just in time for “The Office.” Lousy. Just lousy. Hey, WSFA, is your digital signal 100%? #
- @KKimbrell Come on down to visit, and we might be able to scrounge up a bottle. in reply to KKimbrell #
- @mtgdude That’s cool. That frees me up to go see “Wolverine” that afternoon then. I’ll keep my eyes open for other events down here. in reply to mtgdude #
- @JINX Clay in reply to JINX #
- @Philpepe Aye in reply to Philpepe #

- Changed my Facebook language to “English (Pirate).” I love it! #
- @Tex3911 In LaGrange, GA. in reply to Tex3911 #
- Nice. Swine flu confirmed 30 minutes up the road in my wife’s hometown. #
- A little citrus and medicine helps. I’m feeling bad this morning, but a little better. Head cold, not swine flu. And stay off the subway. #
- I appreciate my friends and family that disagree w/ me politically, yet still love me. 1st Amendment and hearts at work. Some need to learn. #
- I love it when my boy spits up all over me! He’s getting a bath, and I think I need one, too. #

- All’s well this morning. Just hoping and praying for someone to finally bid on our house. Had lots of interest so far. #
- @mtgdude Sounds good! Do we know yet how many ASWS or B’ham GB guys will be there? I definitely need to know what the schedule is. Thanks! in reply to mtgdude #

- We had two last-minute showings of our house today. We’ll hear their thoughts tomorrow! #
- Fancy that. The Internet works at home! #
- @KKimbrell I wish! Granted, my job is Web-based, so technically I could work from home if needed… Hmmm… in reply to KKimbrell #
- This is unreal. Won’t the campus internet please work? I can’t because it’s down. #
- Nothing like twiddling my thumbs because of a pathetic Internet connection. #

- Almost time for lunch! Work and the iPod has made it a very fast morning. #

- @Tex3911 And that’s not the last way he’ll scare the American people. in reply to Tex3911 #
- Very sad to hear about Kim’s mother this morning. My love and prayers go out to you. #
- Wondering why I keep having small bursts of joy and giddiness at some points in the day, but drop back down to normal within minutes. #
