Well crap. I have pretty much used up all my sick time with emergency room visits because it seems like every day I feel sicker and sicker. Not last night's, but the visit before that (Wednesday?)

Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female. It is sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish.

The battle for the Eastern Conference finals begins tonight! It should be an interesting series as the teams will travel back and forth in Pennsylvania, so it may look like a state divided!
The pundits are all calling this series a WAR; but isn't that what every round, every game and every minute that playing for the Cup embodies.
