On a side note, I got an A in Public Speaking...I think I screamed out loud when I saw that grade...got a few 'looks' from people.
That's great news! Congrats! The only A i got was in Physical Science. Great class... somewhat easy A.
I took Public Speaking in HS... definitely not my best class... teacher wasn't the greatest either, she had her favorites... I apparently wasn't one of them.

No, that show did get the boot. Sorry. At least you can join Kelsey Grammer. He is pissed that Fox cancelled his series,
Back To You. Fox said cost of Kelsey's show plus the rating did it in. Some series got little or no chance because of the Writers Strike, while others did get a second chance because the network they were on didn't have any pilots because of the Writers Strike. Isn't that quite ironic?
Can't wait to hear how my sister did in her class she took! She had to read Hamlet (not one of my favorite Shakespeare's plays). You guys should be proud of your grades. When I went to college, a lot of people I knew either drop out or failed college. Yes, I do have a degree, but damn if I had to do it over, it would not be in accounting. Ew!

I would be ticked too. It looked like a good show that just never got the chance. I'm also upset about Las Vegas. I got hooked through TNT reruns during the day.

My boss is a big Penguin fan. He was telling me today how people in Pittsburgh are buying tickets and renting a bus to the first game up there in Detriot! Don't be surprise to see Penguin fans in the stands on Saturday! I gave a lady at my other job, who has been a fan all season, pictures in the paper of Sid Crosby, the captain of the Penguins, by the Prince of Wales Cup. In Pittsburgh, he is known as Sid the Kid because he is only twenty years old. A lot of players on the Penguins are young!
