So, my son graduated from high school today. Oddly enough, he attended my alma mater (Northeast High in Oakland Park, FL) and there are still two teachers there, Randa Flinn and Leslie Rowntree Black, who taught when I graduated from there in '87.

And I graduated with a bachelor of science degree in health information management (HIM) from Regis University in May 2012 in Denver, CO. I've heard rumors that my supervisor is retiring early, so if that's true, I might put in for her ...

So this morning my supervisor comes over and starts talking about what they found in "Obama's hideout...some women and children, so I guess we knew what he was doing for the past ten years!"

"Obama?" A coworker asks.

"Did I say Obama; I meant Osama. Same difference."

...I love working with Republicans.
