What does your handwriting say about YOU?
Festivus is coming; and I’ve got an awesome blog post in mind when the time comes. *nod*

Monday Madness…on a Tuesday! (Well, it’s Tuesday in my time zone.)
1. When is the last time you moved?
October 1985, when I moved from an Air Force Base to the town where I reside now.
2. How many times in your life have you moved?
Three times.
3. In your opinion, what is the worst thing about moving?
The first two times I moved, I was too young to understand the entire concept (the first time I moved was when I was a baby!). The third time I moved I didn’t really care much.
IMO, it’d be leaving friends behind.
4. What is the most exciting thing about moving?
Probably get a fresh start in a new place and meeting new people who could become your new friends.
5. If you’ve lived in the same place all your life, do you plan to move in the future?
Well, I’ve lived in the same place for 4/5 of my life. ;) I don’t necessarily plan to move away anytime soon. However…
6. Do you WANT to move somewhere else; if so, where?
I definitely want to move away–preferrably to the west coast of Canada (British Columbia to be exact…either Vancouver or Victoria–more likely the latter, I think). Just somewhere totally different from where I am. And bigger. *nod*
CBC News: Final 9/11 report warns of danger ahead
On Monday, the commission issued its final report and it gives a dismal grade to the White House and Congress. After billions of dollars spent and a bureaucratic shakeup since the initial report, the commission’s 10-member panel believes the U.S. is still in grave danger.
“There are many things that people think have been done that simply haven’t been done. Our leadership has been distracted in this country. Some of the failures are shocking,” said commission co-chair Thomas Kean.
Hrm, I wonder what said distraction was. It couldn’t have been that country whose name starts with an “I” and ends with “Q”, now, could it? ;)
If you follow NHL hockey at all–either as a casual fan, a diehard, or somewhere in between the two–you know that this week, Boston Bruins captain Joe Thornton was traded to the San Jose Sharks.
What the…?
Yes, the Bruins have a crappy record (as of the trade, they’d lost ten of their last eleven games). But, as far as the team went, he was one of their best players. How on earth does one trade away their best player?!
“I was blindsided,” Thornton said of the trade.
“On the one hand, it is disappointing. And on the other, it’s good to start over again.”
(snipped)
The three-time all-star has totalled a team-high 33 points (nine goals, 24 points) in 23 games this season, his eighth in the NHL, and 169 goals and 454 points in 532 NHL games since being drafted first overall by Boston in 1997.
In his first game as a Shark, they smoked the Buffalo Sabres 5-0. Joe got a couple of assists out of it.
Only time will tell.
