A few headlines:

Did I miss something? Does Venezuela have oil? And that is harsh: "Chavez called the United States the 'most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world.'"

And hasn't this poor family suffered enough? Dana Reeve (Superman's wife) announced that she has lung cancer.

And here's a goal for you. Texas Man Aims to Visit Every Starbucks. I don't drink coffee (or any caffeine, actually) but that just sounds like an aimless goal. "Every time I reach a Starbucks I feel like I've accomplished something, when actually I have accomplished nothing." Then again, I want to hit every major league baseball park, so who am I to talk about pointless endeavors?

Oh, my 30th birthday is in 11 months! Which means that my surprise 3oth birthday was 11 months from yesterday. (Remember, the day before my birthday, becusue I won't be expecting it then.) You are all invited, of course.

More later.
