For a Sunday, yesterday was a busy day.

Saturday night about seven-thirty, the driver living in Bangs dropped off all the trucker's envelopes so I could do billing and settlements and Krl could write checks. Being the first settlement of the year from the jobsite, I had to build new matrixes for my '09 folder, so this week took much longer than most.

Five hours later, Krl was proofing and writing checks.

I put the checks and a few other items for the drivers in my mail box and if things went according to plan, this morning they should have miraculously disappeared!

My plan is for me to make the drive to St. Lawrence, make an appearance, present a bill, and trade a fuel check for the company's check.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I watched 60 Minutes last evening and saw the segment of the show about a new drug which can hold off the effects of aging and possibly extend life one or two more decades. The two researchers who have been working on it say they are about ready for human trials. They said they don't know how effective it will be if you are in your fifties, sixties, or seventies, but if they can get in front of the bus, they believe it will do what it is billed to do.

Interesting.

The program went on to say that since the segment was recorded, the two researchers have sold their start up company to one of the pharmaceutical giants for three-quarters of a billion dollars! Krl said she bets the drug, even if it lives up to it's billing, never makes it to the shelves! She thinks drug companies are making too much money off the common ailments of ageing.

Very impressive information on the effects the medication had on diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart ailments. The list was long.

We can hope!

When I was reading the Vegas lines on the upcoming Superbowl, I couldn't help but be amazed at all the things a person could bet on. One of the silliest was how many times announcers will call Steeler quarterback Ben Rothlesberger Big Ben.

I haven't seen anything on the '09 edition of the Super Ads, although I have seen an article saying they will be toned down. I bet they were a harder sell this year than in past years!

Well, I am nine minutes behind my Monday! Gotta go!

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for this day and the blessing it holds. I pray for safety in my travels and for our workers. I pray for precipitation. Thank YOU for YOUR love FATHER. AMAZING GRACE.
