Americans will be voting next week in what is expected to be a historic election. Voters need to be informed, and this site offers a great deal of unbiased information about how incumbents have voted on every issue ranging from abortion to war & peace, as well as what challengers have said about those same issues. Please, be informed and please vote.
On The Issues – Every Political Issue on Every Leader

Everyday and every day are commonly confused in English; though there’s no difference in pronunciation, mixing them up is definitely wrong when you write: Everyday vs Every Day
Most of the original seven wonders of the world have disappeared, and now you can vote for new ones. This is an official initiative open to voters from all over the world, so don’t miss your chance to contribute to this historic decision. Some of the finalists include Stonehenge, Alhambra, and the Eiffel Tower, and the New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on 7-7-07 (you’ve got to love the date).

I’m obviously way too old to trick-or-treat, we never get any trick-or-treaters back in the boonies where we live, and I’m not a huge fan of costume parties, so to celebrate Halloween this year I’m going to see The Nightmare Before Christmas on IMAX. I’ve always loved this movie, and seeing it on a huge screen in 3D can only make it better.
I’m not a complete Halloween grinch though; here are a few links to help spread Halloween cheer:
During my recent trip to California, my husband and I met with a group of adult students who use my French site. In addition to treating us to a lovely lunch (at Nora’s Café, in Palo Alto), they had thoughtfully printed out information about some of their favorite French restaurants in San Francisco. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to visit any of them as we were leaving the next day, but I thought I’d share them here.
The happiest day of my life so far was either the day I paid off my student loans (which were so high that my then-boyfriend broke up with me, for fear that he would somehow end up having to help pay them) or the day I quit my “real” job and started freelancing full time (which happened to be 1 January 2000). One might think that my wedding day would be the happiest, but since we’d already been together for 6 years, the wedding was just a formality.
The happiest day of my life yet to come will be the day that I move to France (which is still completely up in the air – no response to my visa appeal yet). 🙁
What was the happiest day of your life?
