Ridiculous bumper sticker

I saw one of the most ridiculous bumper stickers I have ever seen on the way into work this morning.  It said, “Well-behaved women rarely make history.”  My thoughts immediately went to Mary the mother of Jesus, Florence Nightingale, and Mother Theresa.  The statement does not apply to men either.  I think well-behaved people are the only ones who make any kind of history worth making.  I suppose it depends on to whom one conforms their behavior.  If the conformance is not to God, it is bad behavior.  I looked up the author of the quote.  The “scholar” who made the quote is a Harvard History professor who characterizes herself as an active feminist and Mormon.  It follows.

Back at the Marriott, but with Elite status

Day 561 of 1000

When I checked into the Marriott Residence Inn, they told me I had acheived “elite” status.  Now I am silver.  In two or three more trips, I will be gold and should hit platinum sometime this summer.  They did not have my previous room so they give me a MUCH bigger room with two beds.  Pretty amazing.  If I have to be away from home, this is not a bad place to be.
