Road Closed

If you look closely, you can see flashing lights where the local police closed down the road a few blocks from where I ate lunch outside today. Word on the street is that a suspicous package was reported and the bomb squad called out. Beautiful day in the 'hood.

Now when was that due?

This was forwarded to me. I typically don't pass them on, but I thought this was funny enough to merit a post.

 

And all I got was

I think Jill mentioned her recent experience hosting some students from the BYU Marriott School - Romney Institute for Public Administration. They gave her this little portfolio to commemorate the trip, I guess. It has a pocket on the inside, a pen holder, and a spot to slip a small memo pad, and it zips closed.

I thought it was pretty cool: our first grad school swag that we've received* =)

Hopefully it was a good trip for the MPA students.

* directly. We "inherited" some JHU business school stuff last year.

Little birdie

Why do you fly upside down?

I had (have?) a (Wynton?) Marsallis CD called, "Joe Cool's Blues." Ok, I don't really remember if that what it's called, but I think that's right.

Anyway, it has Peanuts-themed tracks. One of them is about that little yellow bird that perches on Snoopy's dog house. Woodstock, right?

The fun jazz number has a chorus that says:

"Little birdie / Why do you fly upside down?"

I thought of that song today because of the little visitor I had while eating lunch outside today.

layout update

Finally went "pro" with my new template from Our Blog Templates.

Still some minor tweaks needed, but I figured I'd wasted spent enough time today messing around with Blogger.

Issues I'd like to fix:
* ShareThis doesn't work any longer. I tried to load new code, but it still doesn't show up in my post footers. It must be the custom template.
* Couldn't get a "Tweet this" footer feature to work, either. Again, must be the custom template.
* Some gadgets are squished in the new column widths. May have to play around with that.

Anyway - enjoy. One day, I'll upgrade my other blogs. For now, they show up as "tabs" in the link bar just below the header.
