I slept like the dead last night. Good thing. as I was totally exhausted from the previous night.

We went grocery shopping and did a bit of shopping at KMart. We found some shoes for me, some PJs for Dick and another footstool for MY desk. I actually had one but we found that it is good for Dick as he is sleeping in his chair until the back is better. He should be elevating his feet and the stool was just right.

I finished unpacking and arranging one side of the garage today. Whew. Am I ever tired again. Then this evening I spent a couple of hours in the basement starting arranging my sewing area. I should be able to start sewing again now as I have located the current projects.

Tomorrow, Mother, Dick and I will go to Nino's for dinner and then on to Horace Mann School to see Annie by the Sheboygan Theatre Co. Should be a nice evening.



> NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE
>
> To the citizens of the United States of America,
>
> In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to
> govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
> independence, effective today.
>
> Her Sovereign and Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume
> monarchical duties over
> all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she
> does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP
> for
> the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world
> outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the
> need
> for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A
> questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of
> you
> noticed.
>
> To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following
> rules
> are introduced with immediate effect:
>
> 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
> Then
> look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed
> at
> just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should
> raise
> your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the
> same
> twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and
> "you
> know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up
> "interspersed".
>
> 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know
> on
> your behalf.
>
> 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.
> It
> really isn't that hard.
>
> 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
> good guys.
>
> 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
> Queen",
> but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get
> confused and give up half way through.
>
> 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind
> of
> football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good
> game.
> The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
> borders
> may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will
> no
> longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
> Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a
> difficult
> game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
> (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping
> for
> a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like
> nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side
> by
> 2005.
>
> 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if
> they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that
> there is
> a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The
> Russians
> have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "shit".
>
> 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new
> national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive
> Day".
>
> 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for
> your
> own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we
> mean.
>
> 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
>
> Thank you for your cooperation.
