Scientific tests confirmed what was painfully obvious. Terry Schiavo was indeed brain dead, and no amount of therapy would ever improve her condition. She was also blind, as the portions of her brain that control vision had completely disintegrated. Still, the Religious Right, including our president, rallies behind her family. I don't get it.

So in a week and a half, I will be on vacation. Of course, it won't be much of a vacation per se, as I was volunteered to help my father with the last remaining part of upgrading the drainage around the apartment house. Which means digging down and putting drainage pipes in around the house. Ugh. Some vacation.

And how do parents do that anyway? They just volunteer you to do things and you have to do them. Twenty-eight years old, living on my own, paying my own bills, and I'm still stuck helping Dad with yardwork.

Bleh...
