Even in Florida a wool sweater is comfortable, and this is a beautiful sweater. Our daughters gave it a thumb's up for style, too. Husband doesn't know, yet, I bought two.

Very comfortable and warm.
By Backbeat Ron
from Grand Blanc, MI
The fit was perfect for me I wear a large mens dress shirt large and extra large sweater and it fit me like a glove. If you're in between on sizes go for the larger of the two.I was very impressed with the quality and the craftsmanship very nicely done. I wore this one time with dress slacks and one time with jeans both times it was a perfect fit for the casual, and business setting.

Much smaller than expected.
By Johnny
from Minneapolis, Mn.
I ordered an XL. It is more the size of a medium. Either Jos. A Bank is making product smaller or this is terribly mislabeled.I cannot even wear it.I am very disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
(1 of 4 customers found this review helpful)
Runs small.
I have bought many sweaters from Jos A Banks. This one was small. When I tried to contact someone to return it I heard nothing back. All I wanted to do was exchange it. I still jhave the sweater in the box with the tags on it. maybe you can help me.I have had positive experiences with you company but would not recommend trying to return or exchange something.

Beautiful, practical, well made sweater
By Jim
from Chicago, IL
This sweater is pure lambs wool, extremely soft and very well made. It does have elbow pads, which are not mentioned in the description. I love a cardigan to wear around the house in the fall and winter in the morning when it is chilly and also in the evening. A cardigan is so essential, and they are hard to find. You can put it on or take it off without mussing your hair. You can leave it unbuttoned, or buttoned when it really is cold, and is great if your power goes off. Wear it with a dress shirt or turtleneck and you have a great look-- even with blue jeans. This is an exceptionally well made sweater.

CMoR reopens at new Short Pump site
The Children's Museum of Richmond last week opened its new Short Pump location at Short Pump Town Center, to the delight of children who attended a sneak preview of the location July 10. The new facility, located under the forthcoming LL Bean store (formerly the food court) is 8,500 square feet in size – much larger than CMoR's former Short Pump location at West Broad Village, which opened in 2010. The new space includes The CarMax Foundation Service Station, the Silver Diner, a grocery store, a performance stage and an art studio, as well as a giant Light Bright Wall. > Read more.
Minion mania
Spinoff is predictably silly, devoid of plot
In Minions, those jibberjabbering little corncob things from Despicable Me have finally earned their own feature film. Specifically, three of them: Kevin (tall), Stuart (plays the ukulele) and Bob (loves his teddy bear), all voiced by co-director Pierre Coffin.
After tracing the evolution of Minionkind – we don't know what they are, but we know they're hardwired to serve the baddest villain around – our three Minion heroes set off upon a quest to save their species and find the newest, nastiest villain overlord. > Read more.

Step 6: Cut That Can!
Step 6.
It's time to make the attachments for your handles.
First, mark off a 2"x2" square on the top half of the can.
Second, mark off another 2" x 2" square on the opposite side of the can.
Third, using your snipe nosed pliers and scissors cut the two vertical lines on the square, leaving the horizontal line as a mark for where you'll bend the can. You're essentially creating a flap which you will pull down, (repeat this step for the opposite side as well)
Finally, bend the flap down, toward the outside of the can, and trim off all but roughly 1" or so of the flap. (do this on both sides of the can)
Safety Note: Be very very careful when cutting and bending the can, those are some sharp edges!

Non Sequiturs
I'm posting this photo of my cat because Charlie is at the vet with a stomach ache. I want a tattoo and I just packed my four kids' bags because they're staying with their grandma tonight. My baby outgrew his boots and I can't forget to call the orthodontist. My daughter has to finish her research paper and I'd better plant my tomatoes. I made carbonara a few days ago and when is Marlboro Man's football meeting again? My brother Mike just had knee surgery and our WeedEater won't start. Am I doing the children's sermon Sunday and I hope we don't have wood bees this year. My washing machine isn't draining and I found a tick on my decolletage last week. We're working cattle at the farm next Tuesday and did I email Susanna back? Do I have laundry to pick up or drop off and I need to find my phone charger. My sister and I are working on Tasty Kitchen's app and I can't tell the difference between elbow pads and shin guards. That dang swallow finished its nest on our porch and I can not forget to send in the paperwork for the soccer tournament. I wish it would rain so I didn't have to water and thank you all for loving me through this unbelievably busy time some human beings refer to as…April.
Feel free to leave your own non sequitur in the comments. It would help me to know it isn't just…me.
P.S. It is April…isn't it?
P.P.S. What's a non sequitur?
P.P.P.S. If my understanding of non sequitur is incorrect, don't tell me.
P.P.P.P.S. I now have a lovely red bump on my decolletage. I promise it's not a zit.

Eww, wood bees, I hate them, we had those last year and the year before. They're huge and you can hear them coming in for a landing!
Barbara On Thursday, April 12 at 12:28 pm
To prevent the swallows from nesting on your porch, hang some plastic grocery sacks around the eaves. The noise/motion keeps them away!
Amanda On Thursday, April 12 at 12:28 pm
I hate ticks. I sure hope the one that bit my daughter last week didin't have Lymes Disease. If the dog pees or poops on the floor one more time I am going to insist that he be put down. I mean he is 14 years old and I can't believe I forgot to send my two year old to daycare today without shoes on. It was around 25 degrees at my house this morning and I sent her out without shoes! I would rather be in labor than dealing with this constant heartburn. Thankfully that will actually happen in a few months. But before then I have a list a mile long of things to do, one of which is to prepare for the baby's arrival by cleaning a whole bunch of things, which are sitting right next to where the dog is constantly peeing and pooping….

Oh….So that's it… It's APRIL.
My tooth broke (probably because I wasn't wearing my mouthgard very much the last few months… (I don't like it) Spent two hours (yesterday) in the dentist's chair and then drove to my Mom's to help her pack and drove her back home to stay with us while she has eye surgery. Up at 5:00 AM this morning to drive her to surgery. Back home now, settling her in and take care of her. I will be her 'eyes' for a few days. She is blind in the other eye, and it is her 'good' eye they did the surgery on, so right now she can't see….God bless her. She doesn't complain. I love her very much. Need to pay bills and sign tax forms and mail checks. Think about what to make for dinner, and see if I can take some time to upload the photos I took of some new creations to list in my etsy shop…..after I make some lunch and feed it to Mom. Read aloud to her later….(maybe I'll read all these comments and we'lll both feel comforted !
Mary On Thursday, April 12 at 12:30 pm
Ree, I STRONGLY suggest you get a prescription for doxycycline, if you have no allergy to it, for the tick bite. There are any number of ticks that can infect with a variety of "drag-you-down" sorts of afflictions other than lyme disease. The drug is inexpensive and has limited side effects. It does require a prescription, but treatment should not be withheld while "they" wait-and-see. All of the various tick bites are subject to the wonderful healing of the generic drug. Preventing an infection is better than treating a disease!
It will likely be reported to the CDC, and you can join me in the world of becoming a number. Now, if I find an offensive critter, I save it's little corpse on a card under clear tape, record the date and location of the bite. The easiest way to determine if the tick is infected with whatever offensive organism is to send the actual offender to the CDC. Speculation is reasonable, but they like accuracy.
And to all who stop to read this – Initially, be SURE to extract all of the creature from your flesh.
Been There, Done That
Toni On Thursday, April 12 at 4:22 pm
Thanks for chiming in Mary. Was thinking the same thing when I read the post but figured someone would have said the something by now, and you did. Hate those ticks. It is our dog who suffers mostly, but every now and then it is our turn and our area does have Lymes disease, and work is boring today, but I made spahghetti sauce and it is not raining anymore, and the house needs to be vacuumed, and the beds needs the linens changed, and I need to find a new duvet cover cuz the dog chewed one of them, and I need a nap, and I have more work to do, so better go now…
Susana Chipps On Thursday, April 12 at 12:30 pm
PW… you really need help around your house, so you can post more divine recipes, and write more books and keep on inspiring us all.
You are not alone.
I still need to post in tasty kitchen my salsa verde recipe that I promised myself I would do when I found your site about a year ago. I'm still busy. But I will get to it.
Have a fun day.

A. I just broke into a cold sweat & a panic attack reading that you had a tick on your decolletage. And I totally had to google decolletage. This I love about you.
#2. I recommend a glass of wine since it's April.
3rdly. Hang in there. It's better than hanging out there (my mom always says).
In closing, pretty please be careful and keep a close eye on the lovely red bump that's not a zit. Let me know if you have any questions about Lymes.

Loads to do for work but instead I'm reading about everyone elses' lists! My son was bitten on the ear at daycare today. I am 11 weeks pregnant and can't wait for the first trimester to be over since I have ZERO energy. Need to send my parents anniversary card. My husband told me today that he's been offered a new job which will mean switching health insurance. (Thrilling since we're having a baby). We might as well move into a new house too just to make things that much more exciting. I need to pick up some things for my best friend who just lost her brother too soon last week. I need to clean the house and do laundry, and I haven't really thought of a plan for dinner….but I do have two quarts of heavy whip from Easter – maybe Rea's fettucine alfredo? I want to look at baby things, and daydream about whether I'm having another boy or a girl. I've been addicted to things with cute owls lately, which is ironic since my 70s bedroom growing up had yellow and orange owls on the wallpaper. It's April in Michigan, which means I wore my winter coat to work and will have the windows open in my car on the way home. I need to not lay my head down on my desk again today, because I might really fall asleep. I need to look up new smoothie recipes. I need to pick weeds in my flower beds. I need to buy some herbs to plant, because I'm hoping after this week, the frost is over and heat can be shut off. Got paid today and thought I had hit the lotto. Then I paid the mortgage.
Carolyn C On Thursday, April 12 at 12:35 pm
My house burned down last June. I lost everything including my vehicle except my dogs and the PJs I was wearing at the time. So I've been dealing with an insurance company that won't pay me timely so I can replace items. I've been living in my house since Thanksgiving but had to put essentials such as a refrigerator on credit cards. Still don't have curtains. My mail was forwarded while I was living in temp housing and then the post office wasn't forwarding everything and now the forward is cancelled but they keep forwarding my mail and then have to forward it back. Last week I was cited by the city because the grass in my front yard is over 6 inches tall but I can't buy a lawn mower until I get money from the insurance company and I didn't realize the dog tags were overdue until I got a notice from the county last week that they are getting ready to issue a warrant for my arrest (okay slight exaggeration) and the paperwork they sent me wasn't even for either one of my dogs. Yea, life is great.

I put $1 rubber snakes on our porch eaves and the birds no longer build their messy nests up there. Thank goodness. I do not feel guilty. They have trees aplenty.

You might want to add get a lymes test to that long list! I got bit last summer and had no idea what lymes disease was….until I got it. Holy moly it is bad! Bells palsy, panic attacks, achy joints, my lymph node was the size of a golf ball. I've been bit since and run to my doctor to get tested…..very scary.

This post brings a couple of things to mind: that my life is kinda quiet and you sound just like I imagine it sounds in my daughter's head! Bless her heart she always has a million things going through it at any given moment! Right now I'm thinking that I have to make a decision on lunch, that i have to water my flowers when i get home, what made that new plant that i planted on Sat. die almost the second i put it in the dang pot & what good excuse can i give my mother when she asks how it's doing besides it didn't like it's new home (she brought it to me), why i wore this top with this skirt they don't do anything for each other or me, wondering how quick i can get done with grocery shopping this evening after i get off work and that we will be having frozen pizza for supper because I'll be give out and will not be cooking, annnnd now I've decided that the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree with my daughter!!!!

I need to go make friends with my breast pump again in about 15 minutes. I haven't gotten anything done today. I am going to string my cats up by their toes if they keep pooping on the basement floor. I hate that baby K can't play on the floor in the basement because of said cats. Why are cats so cute when they want to be? Probably so we don't kill them. I need to check on our mortgage re-fi. I really need to get better about blogging if I am really going to keep one. I need to keep building my website for my side business. I have got to make sure that my essential oils pregnancy to preteen class presentation is done for college day on Saturday. I need to organize my office. Has N booked the rooms for the wedding in August. When does our farm co-op start this year? I really like my day job. Do I really want to work part-time? Do I want to work out of the home at all? How did these bills happen? Thanks to Dave Ramsey they are going away. Why don't I ever have time to just sit and paint my nails? I need to get back to work….darn Google RSS Reader…darn awesome blogs that I follow….. Thanks! I needed that! It was much better for me than the super extra big coffee drink and chocolate ice cream that I want right now. Plus, I am ready to tackle some to-do's now!

Do I have a quiz tonight? Man, I'm glad I aced my deep tissue comp last night. Gotta remember my dinner is in the freezer when I leave work. I smell broccoli. Did I make the candy bar pie? Hope my daughter has something nutritious for dinner tonight. My frapp is gone, I want another one. What were we going to work on tonight? I dont like the circulatory system, it's necessary, but boring. Only 2 more weeks of class. Passion party this weekend! I get out of the house! What should I make for dinner this weekend? I think we need to go grocery shopping. Oh, payday is tomorrow! We need dog food.
Jesseca On Thursday, April 12 at 12:53 pm
I want to knit. My financial forecast is due at work. Why do I insist on wearing these dress pants, the waist band is uncomfortably high. I need to make a vet appointment for my dog's overdue rabies shot. Why did it get cold here again? I want to go home and knit. Is cereal okay for dinner tonight? I wish I had a washing machine, the community one never drains. I just quit grad school. Am I going to regret quitting grad school?! I wish I hadn't gotten that tattoo in Ireland. I wish I hadn't started getting the tattoo removed. It hurts much worse. I want to go home and knit.
Bailey's Leaf On Thursday, April 12 at 12:54 pm
I need to send out those donations letters for the PTA and we do have a 4 PM appointment with the dental unit, right? It isn't 4:30, I don't think. Must remember to run dinner out to my sister. It is in the oven right now and south of where I need to drive 40 minutes north to the dentist. I said dentist, right? Oh, and city taxes because they don't let you file those until February 1. Rings. I'm supposed to get those checked and the soccer shoes. Must have K- try them on before tonight so that maybe we can get some on the way home and I have to log her reading and her First in Math needs done and did I sign her papers? She is on spring break and my brain has gone to mush. Peter (the resident wild rabbit) appears to be eating the snap peas and I need to put up a critter fence, but I need to water the peas, but not the tomatoes because it is too early and they are just coming up as volunteers anyhow. Volunteers that I need to put cages around? I mean, it is Ohio and we had snow yesterday in a sticking kind of way, but never mind that we had 86 degree weather a few weeks ago. Did I remember to spray the seeds in the green house? My rain barrel didn't freeze over yesterday, but tonight is a freeze warning– again and should I string sheets? The sheets are in the dryer and I should really check them. Hubs' pillows need cases, but all I have are flannel right now and I just switched to the 3 season sheets. I need to brush my teeth, put clothes away and bring laundry in from the line because it looks like rain. Yes. That is the reason I'm brushing, right? It looks like rain. Oh, shoot– didn't I mention something about the dentist?
BonnieQ On Thursday, April 12 at 12:54 pm
LOL! You inherit insanity from your kids! I know how it feels to have this whirly-gig of thoughts running through your mind when you are trying to get through incredibly busy days! Been there, done that…now I'm a senior citizen and the thing is, you still have a whirly-gig going on, it just churns slower!
Bless you and your family! I love your blog!
Jacki On Thursday, April 12 at 12:55 pm
Sounds like a normal life of a mom of 4……..you may not believe this, but you will miss these busy times when your baby is 33!…..Okay-and sometimes you won't!!
Kelly Dyer On Thursday, April 12 at 12:55 pm
Mom had to remind me last night that I was going to be 33 in June. I thought I was going to be 32. Why does the baby chew on the remote when I have 3756 teethers?
English Liz On Thursday, April 12 at 12:55 pm
i have two children at home for the holidays and it has rained every day. i have run out of inspirational ideas to keep them amused, and have given into a DS marathon. I have two kittens that can not go out yet rain or no rain, and so no longer have curtains/sofa/dinning room chairs. I have a week's worth of washing that I can't get dry. We have just exchanged on a new house and need to get curtain rails and blinds in as well as arrange for the rubbish to be collected, but I keep forgetting to phone the right people. I have fungus in my lawn from too much rain. I have put my tomatoes in the green house and now keep forgetting to water them as it is raining out side. I start a new job on Monday, the day the kids go back to school, and will be cycling to work. I really hope my memory comes back to me by then! (and it stops raining!)

Better have that tick bite looked to be sure you didn't get infected with Lyme disease!
Kim R. On Thursday, April 12 at 12:56 pm
Need to get good junkfood for house/dog sitter to have over weekend. Did she like pizza? Where are my kids' sunglasses? Do I have maternity shorts? When is my mother in law coming into town again? Will hubs clean the baseboards for me? I need to bleach the bathtub… I don't think I have bleach. When will the insurance company call me back? Is my shower curtain liner supposed to look like that? What is that smell?
Monie On Thursday, April 12 at 12:57 pm
Ticks are on my 'Why God' list, along with fleas, fire ants, no-see-ums, mosquitoes, and flesh eating bacteria, etc. With regard to your tick, aren't you glad it was in a place that you could SEE, and get to yourself?! That's all I want to say about that…
Spring is as busy as Christmas in our family…so many birthdays, events, etc. On top of EVERYTHING that is already on a to-do list that is pages long…(I jest not)…my dishwasher went out, the ice maker broke, my annual physical is four years overdue, I found evidence of termites in/on our house, the roof is leaking, and I found a tree growing in one of my gutters. Clearly, I have issues here…but the bottom line is that life is coming at me faster than I can keep up with and I give. I give. I give up. Oh, and let's just say that the temperature has been approaching the triple digit mark…and it's still APRIL. I fear for the summer months…it's going to be a da-ooooozy. Peace and happiness to everyone. The End.
Monie On Thursday, April 12 at 1:36 pm
I'm so sorry Charlie is having a vet visit…hope it's nothing major and that he's back home soon.

I am so glad that someone has the same problems as me. Too much to do and not enough time or brain power to do it all. This week, I've been running a day behind and missing all of my appointments. Why oh Why can't I keep things straight? I am exhausted!
Naomi On Thursday, April 12 at 12:58 pm
Boy, can I relate to you! My day starts at 2:30am and ends at 8:30pm when I fall into bed, say prayers, and pretty much instantly fall asleep, except of course when the brain!!! doesn't want to let go:) Plus we haven't gotten much rain or snow this year, so making it difficult to keep anything alive. Still doing the plant containers, but all of them have to be hand watered, but the jalapenos, tomatoes, etc are so worth it! But you don't want a tattoo, they are there forever and get all wrinkly and ugly. I love your site and run away to it when I need some sanity!!!! Just hand it there, it'll get better tomorrow:)

Liza On Thursday, April 12 at 1:03 pm
I have a status meeting in 4 minutes and I did Carla say she would take Rowan to soccer tonight? Did I tell Laurie to get the kids from the bus and where is the year end report for the CFO? My toe nail polish is chipping so I guess I'll skip pilates. I have a status meeting in 3 minutes. Did I buy that model canon for Rowan's Civil War project and I does Laurie still need my help at the LAX clinic on Saturday. Lily has soccer practice tonight but I don't think I wash the shorts or socks she took with her to practice. How long is a LAX defense stick? Should 10 year old boys hit each other with them? Did I let the dog in after letting him out this morning? Did I lock the back door? I am 1 minute late for my meeting. I'm hungry, did I buy wine for dinner tonight? Maybe I have some tequilla.

Yes, we are all there. Soccer has stated for my son on Tuesday nights, dog classes are now moved from Tuesday to Wednesday nights, Thursday nights are horseback riding for my little one and now I have to cancel soccer for my oldest so I can fit in 3 days a week physical therepy for he back injury. All this and working full-time on top of it all Whew!!!
Like I always say….it will all work out they way it is suppose to. If it is not meant to be it will shake down that way.
Hang in there summer is coming
Krys72599 On Thursday, April 12 at 1:07 pm
Non sequiturs are my life, but I like to think of them as random thoughts or stream of consciousness… Xyrtec doesn't work for hubby, but June 5th works the best for BEA. Dinner tonight at Pizza Uno and we discussed Earth Day in 2nd grade today. Why am I more productive working at work instead of home in my pjs and slippers, and how long can you keep butter in the freezer? I don't know how I lived without my iPhone and "NO WHINING" is my new motto. Am feeling my diet mojo today and I ate a Boston Cream donut. Love the smell of ham baking in the oven and my neighbor had a bonfire in the backyard two days ago. Have tons of work to do but PW wants a tattoo.
Nicole Glover On Thursday, April 12 at 1:10 pm
Gracie wants to practice math with me. I do not want to. I do want coffee though. And shrimp scampi for dinner. Maybe Ree's shrimp scampi for dinner. I need shrimp. I need gas first though. Speaking of gas, I have gas. What did I eat? I did say I'd stop by Christie's though.Jack. I wanna smooch his little self. Back to the shrimp. Maybe Josh will hit the store for me. Then he'll need money or something though. Bank, almost forgot. Bank, gas, shrimp, Jack. Make a list. Oh yeah, laundry. Gotta start on that. A laundry list seems the idea.
A mother's day….

Kristine On Thursday, April 12 at 1:12 pm
Aside from the tick and the farm chores, this looks just like my monkey brain train of thought….I love spring…but right now, I am just hoping to survive until Memorial day and summer vacation.
Plus, just picked basil and cherokee purple tomatoes warm from the sun, ripe off the vine make April monkey brain (and very sore back muscles) worth it
Gayle On Thursday, April 12 at 1:14 pm
A non-sequitur is someone who is either allergic to sequins, or someone who doesn't wear clothing with sequins. It's raining in Kansas today. Come on up! We've got plenty of open prairie up here. We'd love to have ya! No fear … your kitty will look at you the same way whether it's April or not!
Old Married Lady On Thursday, April 12 at 1:14 pm
My washing machine causes the pipes to moan like a foghorn and why does my Think Thin sugar-free protein bar have 11 grams of sugar alcohol? Cats are cool but dogs rule and I wonder how much Stanley Steemer will charge to clean my carpets? I wrote a big check to the IRS last month and you're telling me it is just NOW April?
This is fun.
Laura M On Thursday, April 12 at 1:14 pm
I have to pay the wireless bill, oh yeah the water bill too. Once again forgot,to,call the orthodontist! My memory board project due on Monday , need to get to work early on Monday cause I was in such a big hurry to get out the door on Good Friday. Hope the fruit was not left in the room. School meeting for DD on Wednesday, make sure DS has a ride that night. Check DS grade, better yet make him check them himself and report. Taxes due on tuesday, not done yet. Every weeken booked til the 23rd of June. got to register DS for service project on the 28th, tickets for DD recital. Birthday present for DD. Just make things stop for a while, I can always do laundry.

This intestinal virus is still making me feel sick after a week, we are turning white carnations red and blue with food dyed water, my thumb is still bandaged from the mandolin slicer incident and today at Wegmans my 10 year old boy said the lady behind us in line was buying a lot of "bathroom condiments."
Gabby d. On Thursday, April 12 at 1:19 pm
We have lots of rain today in Wichita, KS, Ree – I would gladly send you plenty if I could.
Go for it on the tattoo, but be warned that they are addictive – I have three. . . so far. My April is shaping up to be insanely busy, too. Always LOVE your posts – thank you for sharing your interesting life!
Angelina On Thursday, April 12 at 1:19 pm
We just moved to a new state, boxes are everywhere, and I can't find my underwear. If I mail the utility payment, it will be late, so I have to go there in person (rats). We have critters, not cuddly ones but bad ones like hornets and house centipedes. My dishwasher isn't running, but my nose is. I'm almost out of tissues, and more concerning, I'm almost out of toilet paper. By the way, house centipedes are terrifying. I was excited to have found cilantro in our small town.
And that doesn't even scratch the surface of the random thoughts bouncing around my stuffed up head. I hope you feel better.
P.S. I found a tick in my decolletage when I was a teenager. I thought it was a mole for several days until I poked it and its legs moved. Gadzooks.
Jennie R.C. On Thursday, April 12 at 1:20 pm
Oh, about tattoos, the only one I've ever wanted was…you know sometimes when you nursed your babies their ear print would be left on your forearm? A cute widdle pink baby earprint? That's what I wanted tattooed on my arm so I'd never forget those. But turns out I didn't forget and it would have been weird to have an ear on my arm.
Susan C. On Thursday, April 12 at 1:21 pm
As I have been told in times such as this: 'Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?'
Lol ;-).
I took my cat to the vet day before yesterday for his annual check-up. They did blood work and confirmed he has a thyroid condition and pancreatitis. The pancreatitis is apparently thought to be connected with stomach problems. I'll be shopping for new cat food today and hoping that will help ease my cat's tummy.
Good luck to you!

This is so funny,because I was thinking of posting random thoughts today as well:).
Do I need to drive a dump truck are we chopping the new field? Is Caden with us tonight, and who is picking him up? Meatloaf do i have time? Should I back the cows off of rye I have a Jersey about to calve. I need to email wedding photographer when is my truck payment due? Why are my hands red and what am I supposed to be doing?
I'll figure it out…

don't forget birthday card for Jack little- did I do my taxes correctly?- oh, crud I forgot the dirty utensils in the trunk after church supper last night – where are my sunglasses? – did I do my taxes correctly? – pick up cream, yogurt and Vernor's – where is that car registration sticker? – did I do my taxes correctly? – get stamps so you can mail those taxes – what IS that pain in my foot? – am I finally going crazy asking my self all the questions? – gosh I hope I did my taxes right – which do I want hot dogs or hamburgers for cookout Saturday? – return Suzi's phone call after 9 tonight – ask her to pray I did my taxes right- coleslaw for sure – ugh, I'm tired of hard boiled eggs for awhile – iced coffee would be good right now – taxes ….
AuntieM On Thursday, April 12 at 3:06 pm
I wish PDub hadn't gotten me started thinking about what I am thinking – can't wait to get home and take this bra off -"little birdie, why do you do the things you do?" – just sign the forms and mail them in -how much longer can this day get?- if we don't have some more April showers can we still have May flowers? – I wish Justified had ended the season – Concentrate, concentrate….
Pamela Bates/Mercantile Muse On Thursday, April 12 at 1:40 pm
I adore the word decolletage, it rolls off the tongue…..did I remember to take the steak tips out of the freezer?
I did get that business card file to the printer in OKC, didn't I……I wish the stormy clouds would at least shed some rain on our dry, high fire danger area.
How many ad deadlines do I have tomorrow? Do I have ad deadlines tomorrow or are they today?…………Those chocolate covered raisins were wicked good after lunch.
I'm so glad I didn't get caught up in the traffic from the Vice President's visit…..damn, I forgot to put my mother's casserole dish in the car to return to her.
Why can't I remember to order my new obscure heliotrope soap from Milk & Honey Naturals……………………………………….Meeting done, check that off the list.
The list is now longer? More revisions?………………..I'd really love to sneak in a walk today.
I found a tick walking up my arm yesterday while weeding the garden, another on my bra beside my bed this morning, but none on my decolletage……I could really go for a cuppa white heron cranberry ginger tea, I think I'll make a pot.
Get that spot checked Pdub, whether it gets a ring or not, and especially if you start to feel flu-ey. My Dad had a tick like bite last week and they put him on antibiotics…..
What did Gman say he was doing in the basement?
Pamela Bates/Mercantile Muse On Thursday, April 12 at 1:43 pm

Mine goes like this: I need to text me dad to see if he's feeling better, When is the girl going to come pick up the set of drawers I'm selling her? I need to vacuum and burn some incense to get rid of the smell of smoke from the neighbors (oh city living!). Where are my favorite leggings and my favorite hole-y yoga pants? Laundry quarters need to be picked up at the drugstore so I can find them. I should check my mailbox and pay my x-ray bill. I want (another) tattoo as well. Or maybe just darken the one I have. I need to cancel dinner reservations for my boss. Wheres my lotion? I want a kitty.

Kate On Thursday, April 12 at 1:43 pm
Finish writing this report for my boss and clean up the sticky ceramic mess in my kitchen floor from dropping my coffee cup this morning. Did I turn in all of my receipts from my last trip? I need to send my coworker that recipe for the orange bread. Have to stop by Hobby Lobby to pick up craft supplies for a baby gift before my friend has the baby. I need to get some new black sandals for summer, but who has time for shopping. And where in the world is my black bra? Did I leave it at the hotel? What a surprise for the cleaning lady. Don't forget to stop for gas on my way home so that I don't have to rush in the morning. Maybe I should get up early and actually make some breakfast. I need to work on my flower beds, but I need to check summer travel plans so they don't croak in the Texas heat if I'm gone for a month. Which reminds me that I need to get some new luggage. Where did I put that coupon that Grandma mailed me? I need to check on my gym fee. I think they charged me too much for this month. Not that I've had time to go to the gym. Put that on the list for tomorrow. Wait, I'm already doing good to get up early to make breakfast. Scratch the gym. Sigh.
Carolyn On Thursday, April 12 at 1:44 pm
I made your iced coffee recipe and my cat died last year.
My tummy hurts and I need to get my eyes checked.
My boss is doing my annual performance evaluation today and I wore a really cute, chunky sterling silver necklace.
I need to find that Eucerin for the dry skin on my fingers from doing too many dishes but what will I fix for dinner.
How many tomato plants should I put in my raised bed, oh my goodness, I need to go pay on my layaway at TJMaxx (new bedding for my antique child's bed).
Once I finish cleaning my 40+ yr old dollhouse did I put away the tub mat after my shower this morning.
Where did I put those Polly Pocket dolls because I want to wash my car.
Haha…fun. Thanks for the laughs!
Robyne On Thursday, April 12 at 1:46 pm
Ah April- Who knew?!
My head has been spinning in a very similar fashion… Clay has a track meet tonight, I wonder if they'll cancel it because of the rain and snow? Probably not, they never cancel track- Chance has soccer practice tonight, I wonder if they'll cancel it because of the rain and snow? Maybe- Did he wear nice clothes to school today? The Dare Graduation is tonight. When do I leave work to pick them up? How will I feed them? I need to get to Hibbets to get him some new underarmor before the meet. I wonder if Clay's teeth hurt? Crap! I forgot to call the Assessors office again! Crap! I forgot to call about the water again. I wonder when they're turning the water on? The truck needs it's oil changed. It does not need a new air filter. My salad tastes good. A baked potato from Wendy's would taste better. I like hot food on cold days. What am I going to make for supper tonight since it will be late and cold when we get home? I wonder if my dog is freaking out because of the thunder? Poor Gracie. How am I going to fit in After School Art, Soccer, Wrestling and track all in this month? Don't forget to call Jodi. Don't forget to take the 24th off for the Train Trip. So glad I remembered to turn my money in for that. When is the 1st grade field trip again? How am I going to get the garden tilled? I need to call Toney and see if I can use his tractor. I need to get chicks from the feed store. I need to clean the chicken house out. What am I going to eat on Saturday? Don't forget to call Deryk about wrestling. I need to figure out Mom's birthday? Crap! I keep forgetting to have make-up birthday lunch with Becky! I wonder if Beuhla is bred? We should get her in and check soon. I need to get my garden tilled! It's time to plant onions and peas! Dandelions are taking over my flowerbeds. Do I need more nitrogen? Did I pay the electric bill? I think so… I hope so! Why is After School Art in April anyway? Why is there spring soccer? I hate spring soccer. When am I going to walk today? What can I do to bless Shane today? Oh Lord, Thank you for helping me- in a crazy time of life like this!!

Need to learn to just breathe…in and out…slowly one breath at a time. Clear my brain or your brain and focus on one thing at a time. Just breathe. I love to run, but I can't breathe. Breathing is our life blood. My daughters research paper weighs on me more than her. My son is leaving home for two years…I must gather things for him…I must breathe…I must pack. Have to go to work…Wait, I need to clean the bathrooms. Oh look, someone spilled on the floor. Just breathe…Need to mop the floors, gotta run, just breathe.

Oh my lord, too funny, I am not the only one living my life in a whirlwind? April – are you sure? I don't know if I should believe my iphone. Oh, and by the way, in the midst of the chaos referred to as life, don't update your laptop's (which by the way is possibly more important in life than red wine) operating system, throwing your overflowing email into chaos where the mouse doesn't work the same etc. etc….My day job is ramping up for a hopefully robust and profitable season, my hobby job has a monster deadline/tradeshow this month and may be on the cusp of a very expensive expansion..I acquired another job which has dropped me into a morass of issues to fix, before I fix the job itself and hand it off, competitive dance has started, soccer is on it's way, winter number 3 may be relenting to spring number 4…….Oh my god! Why is there not a martini in my hand?
Hah – above all this I figured, if you read this, you might find it interesting that your Charlie the Ranch Dog book is on the kids Scholastic books order form that some of the public schools do up here in Ontario, I have already purchased this in hardcover but it was cool to see it on that order form also. Cheers, thanks for the relief of a glimpse into a life so different, yet so the same as mine!
Thanks – Nicole

I'm sick of all this rain, and where did all the mosquito hawks come from? I need to finish planting my garden too, and what in the world am I going to serve to our dinner guests Saturday night? We need to power wash the deck and front porch, and the cats won't stay off the roof. I need to buy flowers for all my outside pots, and the bathroom sink is still leaking.

Product description
Samuel Beckett is widely regarded as 'the last modernist', the writer in whose work the aesthetic principles which drove the modernist project dwindled and were finally exhausted. And yet despite this, it is striking that many of the most important contemporary writers, across the world, see their work as emerging from a Beckettian legacy. So whilst Beckett belongs, in one sense, to the end of the modernist period, in another sense he is the well spring from which the contemporary, in a wide array of guises, can be seen to emerge. Since Beckett looks at a number of writers, in different national and political contexts, tracing the way in which Beckett's writing inhabits the contemporary, while at the same time reading back through Beckett to the modernist and proto-modernist forms he inherited. In reading Beckett against the contemporary in this way, Peter Boxall offers both a compelling re-reading of Beckett, and a powerful new analysis of contemporary culture.

Author information
Peter Boxall is a Reader in English at the University of Sussex, UK. His books include Samuel Beckett- "Waiting for Godot", 'Endgame" (Palgrave, 2000) Don Delillo: The Possibility of Fiction (Routledge, 2005) and 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (Century, 2006).
Review quote
'Superbly contextualized, beautifully written, and wonderfully attentive to (and informative about) critical and theoretical backgrounds, this is a book for all who would better understand the literary era ushered in and still presided over - in spirit, at least - by Samuel Beckett. Resisting the notion that Beckett represents the final phase (or ossification) of modernism, the immensely learned Boxall effectively demonstrates the many ways that the aesthetic postures of exhaustion and persistence crafted by Beckett breathe through the works of some of our most important contemporary writers, notably Banville, DeLillo, Coetzee, and Sebald. Since Beckett is a profound meditation on the work of the master himself and a constantly engaging argument for his continuing importance to world letters." - Professor David Cowart, Department of English Language and Literature, University of South Carolina, USA. 'In Since Beckett, Peter Boxall has written a subtle, shimmering study of the ways in which Beckett's example continues to glow and flare renewedly- to life in the work of the most significant writers of fiction since the War. In a series of luminous readings, Boxall reveals Beckett's work, not as a sternly anomalous outcrop from the literary- historical landmass, but rather an isthmus connecting an Irish past to an imagined European and even global future. Written with warmth, wit and grace, Peter Boxall's book marks a definitive new direction for Beckett studies, allowing his work to move in a larger geopolitical landscape than has previously seemed imaginable." - Professor Steven Connor, School of English and Humanities, Birkbeck College, UK 'Peter Boxall writes with sensitivity and authority about what it means to be a novelist in a literary world still unsettled by Beckett's remarkable accomplishment. Free of fashionable theory and jargon, Boxall does what only the finest Beckett critics do: he makes you think." - Enoch Bra ter, author of The Drama in the Text: Beckett's Late Fiction. 'In this excellent, topical study of Beckett's place as a writer of fiction Peter Boxall brings his wide knowledge of modern literature to bear on an investigation of Beckett's debts and legacies. He shows how Beckett's fiction has enabled others to continue in the face of loss. What is especially powerful is the nuanced shifting of perspective between national, European and global standpoints towards Beckett's writing. Original new readings of many of Beckett's prose texts from across his entire career, as well as novels and short fictions by writers ranging from Kleist to Don DeLillo and W G. Sebald, trace interconnections between these writers via guiding tropes such as waiting, falling, front and back, and tuning. This is a fascinating, highly intelligent study of how fiction continues to develop today by reconfiguring the resources of its greatest exponents." - Professor Peter Middleton, University of Southampton, UK 'For anyone tempted to see Beckett as an abstracted, isolated fig-ure, this book is the perfect antidote. Setting Beckett against Irish, European, and global contexts, it stages a series of exhilarating encounters with interlocutor writers. The 'multiply haunted Beckett' who emerges here continues to evolve alongside the ever more complex movements and revisionings of twenty-first century globalisation." - Professor Mary Bryden, Department of French Studies, University of Reading, UK 'Peter Boxall's Since Beckett is a study that at once consolidates and transcends assumptions regarding Beckett's influence on contemporary writing, and represents the culmination of a broader project to liberate Beckett from the exclusive confines of the Irish literary tradition.' -Oxford Journals

Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing (Dirtyloud Remix)0
2 years ago
by JMatt in Brand New, Wobble Wednesday
Calvin Harris and Florence Welch collaborated to create Sweet Nothing which released back in September. It took Florence's (yes, of Florence and the Machine) soulful, indie rock vocals and matched them with Calvin Harris' EDM production skills (who is out with a new album, "18 Months," on October 29th). A great song on its own for sure. Then you have Dirtyloud come along and add some heavy bass to give it a Dubstep remix. They released the full version just a few days ago and I have been listening ever since. Dirtyloud is an Electro House/Dubstep duo from Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Plano East senior-to-be Jennifer Madu, SportsDay's 2011 girls track and field athlete of the year, continued her great season Thursday.
Madu won the 100 meters race at the 7th IAAF World Youth Championships in Lille, France. The meet started Wednesday and concludes Sunday.
Madu edged fellow American Myasia Jacobs to claim the World Youth gold medal in 11.57 seconds. Jacobs, from Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey, was second in 11.61.
On Wednesday, Madu competed in the triple jump at the IAAF World Youth Championships in France but failed to qualify for the finals on Friday.
Madu was a one-woman show at the UIL Class 5A state track and field meet in mid-May in Austin for a school that has one of the largest enrollments in Texas. Madu won titles in the triple jump (40-3 1/4) and 100 meters (11.63 seconds), finished second in the long jump (19-2) and sixth in the 200 meters (24.34) for a total of 29 points, placing Plano East fifth in the final team standings.
Jacobs had defeated Madu a few weeks ago in the 100 meters at the World Youth Track and Field Trials in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Jacobs, also a senior-to-be, is the only girl in New Jersey state history to win both the 100 and 200 meters races three consecutive seasons at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions.
Mansfield Legacy senior-to-be Shelbi Vaughan will compete in Group A of the women's discus preliminaries Friday at the IAAF World Youth Championships in France. If she qualifies, she'd compete in the discus finals Saturday. Vaughan won the 5A state title in mid-May in Austin in the discus (161 feet) andfinished second in the shot put (44-11 1/4).

Canadians, say goodbye to the quirky Nissan Cube. In fact, it's too late; it's already gone. The question now becomes whether the boxy model gets the axe in the US as well.
The Nissan Cube is... different. There aren't many vehicles that pack the length of a sub-compact, the height of a crossover and the sex appeal of a postal truck. There is no question that Nissan was thinking out of the box with this boxy ride, but the model has never really caught on in the States. In 2009, Nissan sold 21,000 units, followed by 23,000 units in 2010. This year, however, sales have dipped to just 13,850 units through 10 months, a tepid 198 units having been sold in October.

Live on the Edge
This goes against all those lawyers' warnings, but it works for David Deubelbeiss, the Boss of the Belt. He's a Toronto ultramarathoner who set a world record by running 130.82 miles on a treadmill in 24 hours. (And who knows boredom better than a Canadian?)
His tip: When you get bored, slow your stride (not the speed of the treadmill) so you drift toward the back edge of the belt. When your heels touch the end, quickly step up to the front. Do this at a relatively slow belt speed, warns Deubelbeiss, and don't try it until you can run without looking at any part of the treadmill for 30 seconds.

Do-It-Yourself CAPE DECORATING KIT..great gift or party activity
Customer Reviews
Beyond Adorable Capes!
Sew Plain Jane was the only site I could find online (or in stores, for that matter) that offered a do-it-yourself cape-making kit. The capes arrived yesterday and they are ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, not to mention that they are have clearly been constructed with care. In addition, the cape fits my two-year-old daughter and my five-year-old son equally well. I also was very specific with what decorations, letters, and colors I wanted, and the owner was very accommodating and sweet about meeting my requests. I know that these capes are going to be the biggest hit at the party--my son is "chomping at the bit" to decorate and wear his. Thanks in advance, Sew Plain Jane, for making my son's party one he and his friends will always remember!
Awesome Capes!!!!
I ordered cape kits along with the mom & Dad capes for my sons 5th birthday party and they were a BIG hit. Not only with the kids but with the parents as well. I searched for months to find super hero capes to go along with my super hero theme and I am so glad I found your website. I also loved that I was able to get each child's initial and at the last minute I needed to add an additional cape kit to my order and my request was easily fulfilled. I highly recommend Sew Plain Jane and thank you for helping make my son's party a memorable one!!

Hari Ohm. Recently We visisted Govindapauram. I have Posted a Blog on this visit. Please log on to folloing link and Offer your Comments. http://bbjee.blogspot.com/2011/08/sri-vittal-rukmani-temple-govindapuram.html.
Jai Sai Ram Vittaldas Maharaj, Without Panduranga blessing I can't share my experiances. I heard about you through one of my friend Uma Subramanyam. We both are from same place. I recived the Vittal Rukhmini picture from Uma which you already blessed. When she told me about you I felt my self and our family is really blessed. I really impressed when I heard your voice on vittaldas.com the Jap is going like Vittala vittala vittala panduranga. You are voice is so amazing. I love nama sankirtan. Saibaba gave us the oppertunity to do Satsang at Sri Shirdi Saimandir in Cary, NC. Jai Sai Ram.
I feel good when I hear Namasankeerthanam. After hearing Vittaldas Maharaj speech I feel good.
I hear Namasangeerthanam in Jaya TV. It was realy useful to me and my family. After hearing His speech my family want to go Govindapuram. Every Saturday and Sunday begings with a bleasend speech.
With Bhaghwan's blessings I had the opportunity to stay at Govindapuram for four days during the Gokulashtami festival. Beautiful alankarams for Pandurangan and Rukumai. Had the great opportunity to listen to Vittaldas Maharaj Ji's Ashtapathi and other bhajans in person. Full of energy and divine power. It is amazing to see that the beautiful temple with Goshala is maintained very clean under the leadership of one individual, all with the divinity's grace. Amazed at the simple lifestyle of so many people in the rural setting. Radhe Krishna!!!
Felt, blessed with SAAYUJYAM, when I was at the temple.
Radhe Krishna ! You are doing a great job by bringing all happenings to people like us very far away from Govindapuram and Anna. God bless :-) I was checking out the site and did see that there is a caller tunes section and it is only for people in India. Is it possible you can do something for poor souls like us :-) Thanks much !!
I have visited this temple once before a week for kumbhabishekam. Really amazing. we can enjoy the full grace of God there. Pandurangan statue is very beautiful. words are rare to describe. The seiling art and in the door art also superb. May the God showers his bless to all.
I was fortunate enough to see the live telecast of Shri vittaldas and group's bhajan in venkateswara bhakthi channel. It was really enchanting. My mind was full of happiness. I pray to Lord Balaji to shower his blessings to Shri Vittaldhas maharaj and his group to continue their namasangeerthanam for hundred years. It is a must for everyone to listen to these bhajans to purify mind and soul, in the present day stressful living. The rhythm with the vocal support and the co artists is really marvellous. Some of the bhajans bring tears from our eyes and create brahmanandham. Anyone will forget the time and surroundings when you close your eyes to listen to these enchanting bhajans. Swami vittaldhas also gives discourses about the bhakthas of Shri Panduranga bhagavan. It is really thrilling to hear about the experiences of those bhakthas and how they constantly search for the grace of lord krishna.

As of Monday, August 19, 2013

COVINGTON — Now is the time to register for the 30th Annual Covington Police Department Fuzz Run.
The Fun Run begins at 8 a.m. and the 5K race starts at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14.
The Fuzz Run is a community-wide fun run and 5K race that helps raise money for police officers that have been injured in the line of duty, along with other local charities.
CPD Detective Chip Shirah, along with Capts. Willie Davis and Ken Malcom, is organizing this year's Fuzz Run.
"We are really excited about our 30th anniversary and are hoping this will be our most successful year yet," Shirah said.
To help celebrate the 30th year of the Fuzz Run, the CPD has released a humorous promotional video which can be seen on the home page at www.rockdalecitizen.com, on YouTube and the Covington Police Department's Facebook page that pays homage to the 1980s movie, "Back to the Future."
In addition, American Idol runner-up Bo Bice will sing the National Anthem just before the 5K shotgun start.
For 30 years, runners and walkers have come out on the second Saturday of September to participate in the fun run and race that supports law enforcement officers and other local charities.
Capt. Davis organized the first Fuzz Run in 1984 to raise money for police officers injured in the line of duty. That year, about 12 people participated in the race that began at the Police Department on Oak St. and ended at City Pond Park. Over the years, however, the event has grown in popularity. Last year, more than $30,000 was raised for local charities and about 2,200 runners participated. Shirah said the Fuzz Run is the biggest event in Covington outside the annual Fourth of July celebration.
This year, Fuzz Run proceeds will not only benefit police officers injured or killed in the line of duty, but also $1 per runner will be donated to the American Cancer Society in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Other local charities to benefit from the Fuzz Run will be the Garden of Gethsemane Homeless Shelter, the Washington Street Community Center, Project ReNeWal and Newton County Special Olympics.
The Fuzz Run begins at Baker Field next to the Police Department. The route takes runners down Floyd Street and Newton Drive before winding through the Square and returning to Baker Field. A business and health expo will be held at Baker Field after the race and nearly 150 door prizes will be given away. Shirah said registration forms will be mailed out by the end of the week to previous participants of the Fuzz Run. Registration forms are also available at the Covington Police Department, located at 1143 Oak St., and on the CPD website, www.covingtonpolice.com/fuzz-run.aspx.
The cost is $18 for those who register by Sept. 6 and $20 for registration after that date. A family of four can register for $60.

Product description
Nora Helmer, wife to Torvald and mother of three children, appears to enjoy living the life of a pampered, indulged child. But as her economic dependence becomes brutally clear, Nora's acceptance of the status quo undergoes a profound change. To the horror of the bewildered Torvald, himself caught in the tight web of a conservative society which demands that he exert strict control, Nora comes to see that the only possible true course of action is to leave the family home.

Author information
Only Shakespeare's plays are performed more frequently than those of Henrik Ibsen (1828 1906). The Norwegian playwright, theater director, and poet scandalized many of his contemporaries as he led the theater into the modern era by exploring the realities behind 19th-century social conventions."
Back cover copy
One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, "A Doll's House" richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama. In the central character of Nora, Ibsen epitomized the human struggle against the humiliating constraints of social conformity. Nora's ultimate rejection of a smothering marriage and life in "a doll's house" shocked theatergoers of the late 1800s and opened new horizons for playwrights and their audiences. But daring social themes are only one aspect of Ibsen's power as a dramatist. "A Doll's House" shows as well his gifts for creating realistic dialogue, a suspenseful flow of events and, above all, psychologically penetrating characterizations that make the struggles of his dramatic personages utterly convincing. Here is a deeply absorbing play as readable as it is eminently playable, reprinted from an authoritative translation. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Gear Question
Hey All,
Building my backcountry ski kit...
Hey All,
Building my backcountry ski kit a bit deeper this year. I am 6 ft and need some recs on sizing an ice axe. Any reccomendations please would be a big help. Thanks
Barrett Wood
I'm 5 ft 11 in and I use a 65 or 70. In general, you want an ice axe that, when you hold it at your side with your arm straight, stops a little bit above your ankle. If you plan on going up steep slopes, you'll want the axe to be a few cm shorter than that. This only applies if you're going to use the axe as a cane.
If you plan on using it on very steep slopes where you're going to swing it over your head, you'll want a significantly shorter tool. The standard length for technical tools is closer to 50 cm. If that's what you plan on doing, a 57 cm Venom might serve you pretty well.
Jason Speer
I just bought a 50cm Venom hammer as a second tool to my 65cm Raven for north Cascades ski mountaineering and climbing. I'm shorter than you but my reasoning is that I'll be skinning with poles on anything under ~45 degrees and if it gets to the point that I want an axe it's to plunge up to the pick on steep faces. I don't need anything approaching cane length for that. When I have some more money I'll replace my Raven with a Venom adze.

Barack Obama's tone at the National Archives was so defensive as to be nearly adversarial. But whose wouldn't be if they were trying to convince the country that having no plan is better than using the plan that kept them safe for nearly eight years?
That's the substantive takeaway from the address: the people who railed against Guantanamo for years still have no thoughts on a viable alternative.
