9-11 and a Good Magic Trick

Nine Eleven
Today is 9/11/2008. A day that brings lots of sad memories about the terrorist attacks made against the United States. We will never forget!


A Special September 11th
Today is also a special birthday. Do you remember Jade? She was a Vietnamese exchange student who lived with us last year. Well, today's is Jade's nineteenth birthday. Jade just started classes at BYU in Utah. It is so far from East Tennessee. But we're hoping she'll be able to visit and spend Christmas with us.

Card Trick on a Bus

I must tell you that this trick "blew my mind." It's another one of Criss Angel's amazing tricks, this one on a moving bus. I wonder how it does it?

Joke of the Day
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign...

"Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step on exhaust."
