The birthday run is almost over. Dec 3 -Muggs, Dec. 7 -Jack, Dec.27 -me, Dec.31 -Anniversary, Jan. 5 -M-I-L, Jan.12 -Julianna, Jan. 17 -Mom, Feb. 26 -Andrew. Add Christmas and car tags....=BROKE & Nuts. Poor Jack had a sleepover a month after his birthday, cause everything got so crazy. Hmmm. Better planning next year. Maybe a family Christmas cruise to satisfy all! It's probably cheaper! I am getting ready for a week of possibilities. Well, aren't they all? I am in the running for lost of various jobs...bus driver, substitute teacher, lampwork bead maker, some mysterious school system job, then there's the art thing. Ebay store proprietor may be in the running, too. Junk dealer. The world is my oyster! God only knows where the arrow will point on my wheel-o-careers.
I'm also thinking about Armageddon and war, and financial disasters, too. It's difficult sometimes to balance doing laundry, making lunches, and pontificating inescapable doom. The Novena begins tonight to destroy FOCA (the Freedom of Choice Act) Obama aims to sign. Nine days of rosary and fasting. Constant prayer for the unborn. There are tens of thousands of people doing it. It will be interesting to watch what happens.
I'm hopping over to Mindy's blog to check out what enlightening things she has to say.
I wish my brothers and sisters would send pictures from Christmas so I can post them!!! Y'all hear me??

Here is Mark Hanna's Obituary
Mark Hanna, age 82, husband of Ellen Argo Hanna, died Sunday, December 28, at home under Hospice care. His body was donated to the Medical College of GA. A memorial service will be held at Central Presbyterian Church, Saturday, January 3, at 10:00 A.M. with the Rev. Charles Cook and the Rev. Hunter Coleman officiating.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, May 7, 1926, he was the son of the late Lafayette Randolph and Kathryn Parrish Hanna of Birmingham. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother C. Beaty Hanna of Birmingham. He attended The Webb School, Phillips High School, Birmingham Southern, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from which he received his PhD in 1962.
Prior to completing his education, he served in the Navy during WW II. After graduating from college, he joined the Navy Reserves and was sent to Japan in 1950 during the Korean War. He married Ellen Argo, also of Birmingham, just three weeks before his departure for Japan. Upon returning from the Korean War he joined a brokerage firm before enrolling in graduate school.
He taught at Auburn University from 1958 to 1963 and then at the University of Georgia Terry College of Business, Finance Department, where he taught Investments and Security Analysis from 1963 until retiring and being granted Emeritus status in 1990. While at the University, he served on numerous boards and committees, including ten years on the Athletic Association Board and became an Emeritus member.

He was active in Central Presbyterian Church of Athens heading the Daily Bread Ministry for over ten years. He also volunteered with Hospice in its early years. A lover of the outdoors, he hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia into Virginia, many peaks in Colorado, the Western States and the Swiss Alps. He was also an avid tennis player.
