Good news, bad news

It's a mix today: Reporter Jill Carroll is released from captivity in Iraq. The lone survivor of the Sago Mine explosion was released from the hospital. Purdue women's basketball coach Kristy Curry has taken a job at Texas Tech in Lubbock. One year after Terri Schiavo's death, her husband speaks out, and living wills are her legacy. Still no public answers as to why Mary Winkler shot and killed her minister husband.

And my favorite: The Oregon family that was dramatically rescued after being trapped in the snow for several days has been arrested on meth charges. My girls were so moved by the rescue; do I tell them the latest twist?

Here on the home front, the front door has been fixed and no longer sticks. The loose carpet upstairs has been tacked down. And the area rug for the family room is in.

Currently reading: High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Currently listening to: A mix CD of songs about Texas — from Doc Watson and Marty Robbins to Buddy Holly and Kinky Friedman. And as a bonus, Steve Goodman's ultimate country song: You Don't Even Know My Name.
