If I could be...

This meme came my way via Sean....and I thank him for choosing me...

For three that might happen by Streams of Consiousness, I'd like Sharon, Melissa and Uncle Todd to pick five and answer. Feel free to answer on your own blog, or in the comments to this post, or not at all...

interact, by Sean Meade: I'm it: If I could be...

The task is to complete five of the sentence beginnings from the following list:

If I could be a musician...
If I could be a farmer...
If I could be a psychologist...
If I could be a lawyer...
If I could be a missionary...
If I could be a gardener...
If I could be a painter...
If I could be an architect...
If I could be a doctor...
If I could be a linguist...
If I could be a writer...
If I could be a professor...
If I could be an athlete...
If I could be a justice on any court in the world...
If I could be a world famous blogger...
If I could be married to any current world politician...
If I could be a scientist...
If I could be an actor...
If I could be a chef...
If I could be an innkeeper...
If I could be an agent...


If I could be a missionary...I'd probably find fulfillment, though I would be a missionary not necessarily to bring "religion" to other people, but to assist other people, and to help them learn. I always dreamed of volunteering for the Peace Corps.

If I could be an innkeeper...I'd own a Bed and Breakfast in an old Victorian house in northwestern Pennsylvania, or south-centeral Pennsylvania, arguably my two favorite places on earth.

If I could be a doctor...I'd be a transplant surgeon.

If I could be a lawyer...I'd be an ambulance chaser. Just kidding!! I'd either practice constitutional law, or be a public defender. I could never be a prosecutor.

If I could be a farmer...I'd grow corn. What can I say? I'm from Iowa!

I was just reading about turning the other cheek and thinking about loving people like really loving even if they annoy me or even harder if i fear i annoy them which really makes me want to smear them so i feel better about myself and i felt very led to go read this blog so i checked and there wasn't a new post so i thought maybe i'm supposed to do the list thing but then i started reading the ones that were there and I loved them and was delighted to see mel's because i have been hunting for your blog .but then i got cannot find server.so close but yet so far away.... but then i read your thing about taking a pill and i think that's why I'm here.I really like what you said i have been feeling this way a lot lately and have really really tried to listen and love even when i don't understand or feel misunderstood. in our little fellowship at our house I have actually started praying as people speak that there wouldn't be misunderstanding and hurt feelings,that our hearts would be soft towards each other.I can be sooo stinking defensive.Anyway I know this is pretty random but I just really enjoyed your thoughts,mel and I know you have such a huge heart and I can learn from that.

The agony of victory....a.k.a. picking my jaw up off the floor

Allright. I've now had nearly 24 hours (although its taken me a couple of days to complete this post) to calm down, reflect upon and digest the improbable gut wrenching game yesterday in which the heavily favored Colts lost to the Steelers 21-18. I wrote last year of not being as emotionally attached to the Steelers as I have been in the past. I wrote last week of how I thought that I might be spending too much valuable time following the Steelers, especially since I have absolutely no control over the outcome of their games. Let me just say this: yesterday's game was probably in the top five emotionally draining, and ultimately gratifying, experiences of my life. Ouside of my wedding and the birth of my two sons, I can't remember being as nervous, deflated, joyful, stunned and exhilirated as I was yesterday----all withing about a ten minute stretch of seemingly neverending time! What could have been a devestating loss to live with in the offseason (and, forever, for Jerome...

"The Axis of Evil and the Doctrine of Preemption Three Years On"

Jerod and I attended a lecture by Brookings Institution fellow Michael O'Hanlon last night at Park University in Parkville, MO. The lecture was part of the Jerzy Hauptmann Distinguished Guest Lecture series. As a Park University M.B.A. alum, I received an invitation to the 13th annual lecture in the series. I like going to events like this, especially since I was interested in the content of this particular lecture, of which the title was the title of this post. Dr. O'Hanlon described himself as a Sam Nunn Democrat at the beginning of the lecture. It's always difficult to prevent political feeling from entering into objective analysis, and I don't know how you measure the "objectiveness" of analysis, but I feel that most Brookings scholars are at least "fair", and Dr. O'Hanlon was no exception. His analysis of the doctrine of preemption was focused on the effectiveness of the doctrine, as opposed to any moral righteousness or implications of the...

Removing a password that was created in a previous version from an Access 2007 database

Earlier this week I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to remove a password from an Access 2007 database (file extension .accdb). The database was created in a previous version of access and subsequently "upgraded" to the Access 2007 format. I believe some type of a wizard was used to perform the "upgrade." The security model is evidently different in Access 2007 than in previous versions. It doesn't appear that you can set/unset database passwords. Instead, in Access 2007, there is an option to Encrypt with Password. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be logically similar to the earlier version password architecture, but there was no way that I could find to easily remove the password that had been created in the earlier version when using the Access 2007 interface. Access security has always been confusing to me, and I need to take the time someday to understand how the security model is supposed to work in Access 2007. An...
