Welcome to ALL.., Here is what I am thinking about right now. Well I just found out that the Father will be teaching a class at the UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME (South Bend, IN) this coming fall semester so since I do not have a big time job with health insurance. I will go with Father and Mother to NOTRE DAME for a few months and I will have a new home e-mail address. So be ready for that change. I have research for trips and how I would do stuff away from home. take care...

My thoughts about NCAA'S Men's College Basketball Tournament are clear that certain teams got in shouldn't have gotten in. I believe that NOTRE DAME should have gotten in with all things that happen this year but the NCAA tournament selection committee thought other wise. What are your thoughts are teams who got in or not? Let me know if I am spelling anything wrong. I thought was a great idea to goto the war and help Iraq from a bad leader but its killing all of our soldiers because iraq people or bad guys boys doing all the things over there. those are my words for today. TAKE CARE...
