Fun time

I’ve been travelling all day-- no, that’s not the fun part.  Although my drive to Harrisburg had a good deal of humor potential:  had to rent a Penn State vehicle because one of our cars is in trouble (and of course Janet and Jamie need the other one), but there were no Penn State cars left, so they told me they would give me a minivan (cue the line from Get Shorty here-- it’s the Cadillac of minivans!), except that the minivan was not a minivan but rather a serious maxivan, which meant that I went careening through the Alleghenies in a big empty boxlike thing.  Then, one hour from State College, discovered to my dismay that an entire section of US 322 was closed.  Cursing and weaving my way through oncoming traffic on side roads the rest of the way (I can explain, officer), I pulled into the parking garage and made my train in Harrisburg with 30 seconds to spare.  Which probably means that if I hadn’t run all the way from the garage to the platform (and you know what that looks like when you’re toting a garment bag, a laptop suitcase, and a gym bag), I would’ve missed the damn thing altogether.

So while I’m occupied with immediate tasks, I thought I’d direct you over to this diverting site, where you can have fun replacing Supreme Court justices with Scalia clones.  I suggest you do what I did-- get rid of (in order) Stevens, Rehnquist, O’Connor, Ginsburg, and then (just for good measure) Kennedy, Souter, and Breyer-- and see what happens!  Fun for the whole family!

Back tomorrow.
