Philip Gulley, 02.18.07-The boys had two days off from school this week because of the snow and were beside themselves with joy. They spent Tuesday sledding and Wednesday digging out a snow fort in the mound of snow the snowplow driver had piled in Libby Eddy’s side yard. If you're a kid and you have a snow day, your life opens up to all sorts of delicious possibilities. I was rather envious of them.

Jim Mulholland-2.11.07-In the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, there is a scene in which Sir Bedivere, one of King Arthur's knights, demonstrates his great wisdom by helping the townspeople determine if a woman is a witch. The woman they've dragged before him insists she isn't a witch.

Philip Gulley-February 4,2007-I was watching ESPN this week.  I don’t want you to get the idea I just sit around and watch TV, now that we have one.  It was strictly for research purposes.  I was seeing how long I could watch TV before Joan said, “When are you going to get up off that couch and do something?â€?  The answer to that question, by the way, is 8 minutes and 23 seconds.  But the sports commentators were talking about Payton Manning and all the pressure he’s under, what with being in the Super Bowl and having to secure his legacy.  Apparently, his skill as a quarterback is still in question.
