Good morning. I'm going to do my MATH update this morning. Mike, how is life as a radio superstar? Also, should I be miffed that rather than picking me up at the airport upon my return, Chris will be at the ACC tournament semifinals?

AB - what's wrong with your hip, baby?

I'm dying to know if Meg wrote Mike back.

I was over on Rob and Dana's new forum yesterday and they have a whole thread on crappy journals, but why we read them anyway. I'd love to start a thread like that on squishy.

Gaah!

I shudder to think of her law career. One, she can't spell. Two, she can't right. Three, she wants to be a PD?? I good friend of mine is a PD for Fulton County. She's a five-foot-tall Cugan girl (her maiden name is Pequena, which makes her even cuter) who has to go into the projects and find witnesses named Buttermilk and Junebug.

(No lie - her most recent case involved a man who killed another man because he was upset that the Man 1 ate the first piece of sweet potato pie at Thanksgiving. Man 1 had the pie, Man 2 was all, "Man, he doesn't deserve the first piece of pie!" Man 1 ate the pie anyway, and Man 2 was irate. A week later, Man 2 went after Man 1 with a lead pipe. Man 1 shot Man 2 dead. In his statement, Man 1 said, "Well, it was a damn good sweet potato pie." It was from the Picadilly, after all. Buttermilk ((his street name)) was the key witness.)

Anyway. Liz can pull shit like that off. But Meloonsa dealing with cases like that? Melissa LITIGATING?? Um, no.

Carolina is on the case. Is there a way that you can conference her in from your phone, and then y'all call Spain together? Or do you have three-way on your cell phone? I think she's on a work site - that's why she'd have to use her cell phone.
