  Another day, another dollar, another headache. Today is my 3rd and final day to sit in for the president’s assistant.
This morning, he gave me a box of 4 chocolates that he got at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington DC last week. I’m saving them for dessert! No leftovers for lunch; Subway instead. It’s double stamp day!! So what else is new? They say that today is an “Indian Summer” day – which for us means that the high for today is 69.
I’m all for Indian Summer days! In today’s HEADLINES dept: A man is suing Wheel of Fortune host, Pat Sajak, over a hug he received on the show that he claims hurt his back so bad, he needed surgery and months of rehab. A Michigan man survived a plunge over Niagara Falls. He wore no protective devices, etc., just the clothes on his back. Amazing, but now he’s wearing handcuffs and is sitting in some holding cell somewhere in Ontario.
I’m currently reading a story on the Times Picayune website about this bacterium that appears as a small bump and then swells and is very painful. As it turns out, this mysterious little bacterium is resistant to penicillin, etc. It’s very contagious. I’ll let you know how it turns out. And on this day in 1879, Thomas Edison invented a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, NJ. (courtesy New York Times)
