World Aids Day and REVOLUCION!!

Today is World AIDS day.
Cuba is the country with the lowest HIV infection rate...."why is that" you wonder?
MSNBC - not my favorite news source, but it will work...
"Cuba stopped quarantining in 1993 and allows people with HIV to stay at home after a course to teach them how to look after themselves and not spread the virus.
Universal free access to locally made generic antiretroviral drugs has kept AIDS cases and deaths very low, said the UNAIDS program.
Almost 20 years later, Cuba has one of the lowest rates of HIV infection in the world, a prevalence of less than 0.1 percent of its sexually active population.
That’s six times less than the United States and a big exception in the Caribbean, the second most-affected region in the world after sub-Saharan Africa, according to UNAIDS.
Cuba, a country of 11 million people, now focuses heavily on prevention and will mark World AIDS on Thursday by sending out volunteers to distribute free condoms on the streets of central Havana to encourage safe sex."
Yay for Cuba! VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday - you mean so much to my life; you bless more people than you realize and bring happiness to them everyday.
-- I love you........

Also the Birthdays of....

My friend Andrew Bueno and other such distinguished "lovers of words"
- C.S. (Clive Staples) Lewis and Louisa May Alcott - share a Birthday with each other. (does anyone else find this strange that they share the same day??)
Thank you to "The Writer's Almanac" for this delightful information - I added Lewis' real name in case any of you are ever on Jeopardy and not only need to know WHO he shares a Birthday with but what those letters mean....!!!! You know how I am with trivia facts and Garrison provides me with plenty at 8:35 EACH DAY!!!!!

*p.s. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.® G.Keillor

More from Berrien!!! (harry potter at 12:01)

How cool is it to have married friends (who work) come out for Harry Potter time with you at 12:01????!!!!


Can you see our "scars" of lipstick - another reason Trisha is SOO COOL

Does Pleasantville count?!

Ok, so I was telling Trisha how Jess's roommates - Holly and Steph - have never seen a black-n-white movie and how I thought that was just CRAZY!!!!! Where did these girls grow up?! And Trisha looks for a second and then says: "Not even Pleasantville?" and this is followed by a hearty laugh from Brandt and me almost falling off the couch from laughing so hard - Trisha, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Trisha!!!!!!

Yay! I had so much fun with Trisha - hahahaha, this just makes me laugh.

We had so much fun doing NOTHING........

These are CROP CIRCLES! I love it!!!!

more to come....

Was I just hit on?

I am at a coffee shop with Charlie and Judy and cute guy actually looked at my bag and said it was bottomless.....then proceded to tell me all the things he couldn't believe I had taken out.
Now - I am new to this non-Adventist "dating stuff" and I am impressed that he talked to me with Charlie around. I mean - who knows, we could have been married.
I can't believe people actually stare at me because I am always analyzing people.

Then he kept talking to me......cool.
Ohh....he had an LSAT book, maybe we will meet again at Vermont Law School
