Oh happy day! In the course of human events, there comes a time when Sarah is so smitten by something that is free that she feels a desire to thank her benefactor by actually paying for something! I just increased my Yahoo mailbox size from 6 MB to 25 MB for a mere $19.95! Now, a good part of my day will not being spent decided which of yer mail messages to delete! Well, at least for the next few weeks until I reach the edge of my 25 MB. But, I am going to try and be more discerning now...

Warning, the following is a testament to my brilliance... I decided to engage in a little theoretical physics last night. After spending a horribly depressing day in bed yesterday after falling ill due to seeing an exploding woodchuck, I noticed that one topic that did not seem particular depressing to ponder was why two sister particles separated by miles acted just the same. If you hit one and make it spin one way, the other will instantly start spinnning in the opposite direction. Apparently, the information to start spinning apparently travels faster than the speed of light it seemed to Eistein to be spooky and telepathic... Anyway, the process by which this happens is not currently understood so I decided that perhaps my total lack of knowledge about physics might be an advantage in figuring this out. So, I thought about it for several hours (off and on, I went to see "Kill Bill" in between) and decided that maybe they are connected to each other in a way we cannot detect and (this part was admittedly vague) someone how another dimension we can't understand is involved. Well, this morning, further on in the book, the author discussed the "superstring" theory which is similar (as far as I can tell...). Admittedly, this is not a new theory, but still, I had not heard of it so I was impressed with myself, which of course is really not difficult...

Ah, what great problems of the universe will I solve today... So far, I have donated some money to the Kerry campaign, so that is prolly a good start...
