most of you know bailey:

well, bailey had a seizure this morning, and we think she probably has epilepsy.
mike's taking her in for tests tomorrow morning to confirm (i'll be in purdue for triennium), but the vet's pretty sure that's what it is.
5 - 9 am this morning were the scariest 4 hours of my life, but now that we have more information and education about epilepsy and seizures, it's not so scary...
in fact, it looks like they'll become a pretty common part of our lives. 
.... that's all.  just wanted all you bailey lovers to know what's going on in her life.

I am a freakin' genius:
I just watched Jeopardy, and every single one of the contestants got the final jeopardy question WRONG, but I knew it! ME, yes me. 
granted, it was a question about american religious movements, and i'm a serminarian, but still.  i'm a genius. =)

(p.s. summer rocks)

p.s. the shirt in my profile pic says, "bombing for peace is like
f---ing for virginity" ... just in case you were curious. i would've
bought it if it wasn't marked at over $50.00 at urban. who spends that
much on tshirts?
