Should I be offended or just confused?

Yesterday I sent a message to students from Blackboard, a system provided by the University. Normally, Blackboard also sends a copy to my work e-mail address, also provided by the University. However, yesterday, I noticed that I didn't get a copy of the Blackboard message.

What possibly could have happened?

Simple answer: my message from me to me, had been relegated to the Junk Mail file.

My e-mail account thinks I'm junk! I'm no different than the off-shore schemers who claim to be ready to deposit millions of dollars into my bank account and the peddlers of male enhancement products.

I think I'm confused--and offended.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?


That's all I've got to say to the Eagles. Somehow I don't think McNabb will be relishing his return visit to Dallas for the first play-off game. .


Truth be known, I don't have the kind of confidence in the 'boys like I did in the 1990s. It's hard to beat any NFL team 3 times in one season. And Tony Romo is no Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach. So the Eagles may have the last laugh when it's all said and done.


But I'm going to gloat while the gloatin' is good.
