Wow--can things get any better around here?
1) Medical tests revealed that I don't have to have surgery on my abdomen! Hurrah!!! My problem should be easily treated with short-term prescription medicine.
2) I just got word from a museum and a library (both in Nebraska) that they have photos, obituaries, and even newspaper stories by and about my great-great-grandfather! We've lacked photos of him up until now, so this is huge. I'd say more, but I'm keeping it a secret from Little Things until, uh, the end of December... Anyway, for you genealogists out there, consider local museums as a source; it hadn't occurred to me until this week, and the photos were just there waiting all this time.
3) Watched The Incredibles with two friends, one of whom is a priest who'd never seen it before. The combination of scathing social commentary and the issues relating to one's personal philosophy really hit him, as did its insights into married relationships; he left amazed that a "cartoon" could be so good, saying he'd have to take a couple of ideas just to process all the ideas. It was my third time through, and I got things from it I hadn't seen the first two times.
4) I just this morning got invited to teach International Baccalaureate English next year. Have to pray on that one, but it's a huge honor.
5) Myxl, who just got third place in the children's division gingerbread house contest (and whom I hope has a shot of the Viewer's Choice Award, given some comments from a friend who visited the show), just earned three--count them, three!--Webelos cub scout badges at home, which will be added to the two he's so far earned at the meetings. That makes five, one more than is necessary to get his first "compass point" out of three possible. I'm so proud of him! (He was already the first in his den to get his compass patch, so he's really doing extremely well.)

1) Um, your abdomen has been giving you problems? I shouldn't find out about this kind of thing on the Internet. Glad surgery isn't going to be necessary.
2) I wonder if they can also turn up the series of articles that Moi wrote for the paper. I'd love to have copies of those. Great secret keeping, btw. ;)
3) Haven't seen this movie yet. Sounds worth a shot.
4) I'd say "think about it", but I think that's what you mean when you say "pray on that one". ;) Sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
4) W00t!! Go Myxl!
1) Abdomen pain came part-and-parcel with the old syndrome, so I figured it wasn't worth mentioning. Suffice it to say that the surgery on my nerves removed enough distraction that I am now able to pay attention to the milder discomforts.
2) Doesn't our cousin have a more-or-less complete set of Moi's clippings in his basement, having salvaged that from the Hyattsville home as well?
3-5) Yup, yup, and yup.
1) Good that it seems better. Or at least live-able.
2) I dunno. I *think* so, but I'm not sure where they ended up. I know I don't have them.
