Mount Zion Ryan

1. We watched most of Larry King’s coverage of the Katrina devastation. I simply cannot fathom what those people are facing. One of the experts pointed believed they would be setting up what amounts to a refugee camp north of New Orleans as there are about 1,000,000 homeless people as a result of the destruction. Lord Have Mercy, Lord Have Mercy, Lord have Mercy.
2. Andy Roddick, 2003 Champion and 2005 4th seed, was defeated in straight sets 7-6, 7-6, 7-6, by Gilles Muller of Luxembourg, a relative unknown. I caught the last set as Lainey doesn’t like to watch sports. Muller was amazing. Although Muller had a tough time defending against Roddick’s serve, Roddick couldn’t stop Muller’s at all. He won the last tie-breaker 7-1! I wish I had seen the whole match.
3. I am no stranger to research. My degree from Berea College is in Religion with a minor in History. For three summers I was a research assistant for the Northwest Semitic Inscription Archive project (in fact I named it, woot!). Part of my job was bibliographic research to track down journal articles about inscriptions. I really enjoy research. But the more I look for research materials for the St. Moses book, the more I realize that I need access to a serious library. I simply don’t have access to some of the tools I need (JSTOR for instance). Arrgh, looks like I’ll have to buy a “membership” to either the University of Tennessee Library (at $100 per year) or the Knox County Public Library (at $25 per year). I hope Knox County will suffice.
