Poor Martha got convicted today on all counts. What will happen to her? Sounds like she will no longer be part of her own company. Can’t have a convicted felon running the place. I’ve thought she was guilty from the beginning. I love her stuff and all and have even purchased some and watched her show on TV, but she’s guilty. She should have confessed from the beginning and paid the fine and let it go. Now she’s spent more money on the case then she would have lost selling the stock. Those who have so much always want more. Now she’ll appeal and spend more money. Sounds like she’ll spend 18 months in prison at least. Wonder what that prison cell will look like.

I got to work this morning and the cable was out. I usually watch Good Morning America every morning and I couldn’t. I almost didn’t know what to do. Instead, I got on iTunes and clicked on the internet radio and chose NPR from the listing. I think it was NPR out of California because during their commercial breaks they were talking about the weather and the traffic out there.

So while I’m doing work I’m listening to NPR. They have the typical news reports which I found boring. But then they went into a longer story about Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun’s papers being released to the public. It was very interesting to hear all about the notes the justices pass back and forth to each other while on the bench. They could certainly be catty at times. They also talked about decisions he wrote and comments he made about them. I found the whole segment very revealing. I’ve listened to NPR in the past but never for any length of time. I enjoyed it this time. I should listen to it more often. Brad has it programed in his car I believe. He listens to it every morning on the way to work. He also reads The Economist from cover to cover every week. He enjoys reading the politics of third world nations. I don’t find that as interesting as the historical aspects of Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun’s papers. Then again, Brad is much more intelligent then I am.

As some of you have seen, I have fiddled with the look of my blog and my web site a lot lately. I change things all the time. I should just pick one look and leave it that way. I looked on my bookshelf and discovered I have so many web design books and such. You’d think my web site and blog would be amazing. I haven’t taken the time to read the books or do the tutorials to figure everything out. Seems like I only reference the books when I have a problem I want solved or when I have an idea to add something and don’t know how to do it. I also search other web sites for ideas and the HTML to go along with it. I’ll settle down at some point and leave it the way it is. But now I’m thinking about a background color or picture. I wonder if it will be too much to have color in the back ground. It’d have to be something in the orange family because that’s the basic color of my page. I think the maroon accents are fine but would not do for a background color and if I were to lighten the maroon, it would look pink and I won’t have that. Enough about that. I’ll leave it alone for now.

I’m off to Virginia Beach tomorrow morning with Brad. We are going down for Brad to meet with his publisher about his new book. The weather is supposed to suck so I doubt we’ll go to the beach or anything. Just see the local sites and relax I’m sure. It’ll be nice to get away with Brad for the weekend. I’m sure I’ll take tons of pictures and post some on the web site later this weekend.
