I'm collecting rules that apply only on TV. This week: Alias.

What does a person have to DO to get a Diet Pepsi in this place?

We have three machines and a little cafe, and all there is is Diet COKE. Uck.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has an interesting article today about senior citizens who are choosing not to participate in drug discount card programs. Since my company is currently negotiating to become part of some of these programs, the attitudes of the seniors featured toward the idea is a little disconcerting.

Well, I'm back at work. Day Two.

Yesterday was actually more fine for me than it was for Dave, because Miss Eleanor decided that it would be a good idea not to nap for the entire day. While I was in my office getting acclimated and regaling my coworkers with cute baby stories, Dave was in the trenches with a cranky, screaming baby. She didn't want to go to bed last night, either, and was up several times during the night.

Daddy and baby were cuddled up peacefully together this morning when I left for work, so maybe she'll be a little more accommodating today.

It's nice to be back at work. I already have a ton of projects and files to review, and my coworkers seem genuinely happy to have me back. I miss Dave and Ellie, but it's wonderful to see them at the end of the day and to see Ellie's big gummy smile when I pick her up. I love my little family.

Did I ever tell the story about the conversation that I had with Dave during my labor when I was high on Stadol? If I haven't, I really should.

Georgia House Minority Leader J. Glenn Richardson told a gathering of lawyers and journalists Saturday that he will introduce a bill to require all 159 Georgia county courthouses to display the Ten Commandments.

Chief Justice Norman Fletcher stated that he is concerned about the constitutionality of the bill, saying "I don't understand how the state Legislature can trump federal courts," referring to an 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that ordered the Alabama Supreme Court to remove a monument embossed with the Ten Commandments.

Richardson's proposal comes in the wake of a national controversy over former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy S. Moore's attempt to defend placing a 5,280-pound granite Ten Commandments monument in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court.

The 11th Circuit ordered the monument removed. Moore refused and was subsequently expelled from his post.
