OT or is it?

The media is prepping us for war and disaster all the time...it's no wonder we're a nation of pill popping depressed folks!

Hi Sandi,

If you want some good laughs, have a listen to some of the scripts on the "Prairie Home Companion" radio show... http://prairiehome.publicradio.org

(Go to the section labeled "The Archive" to find some of the older shows...)

I was listening to the "Mom" script from the Nov. 8 show yesterday and thought it was hilarious!

(See the video here - http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2008/11/08/ . Go to where it says "Mom script".)

Business, or non-business? We all need a bit of both, at all times... If a time is needed for business, it's now. I'm clearing up some things right now and you'll see more activity from me from next week...

Cheers

Dien
