Time for Some Go/No-Go Decisions

Well, with four days until the start of the new semester, and ten days until that church service I'm leading, it's time to see whether launch is a go.

1. Doctor's Appointments: I've had a physical and a dental exam in the past two weeks. All seems to be okay except my LDL is slightly above normal, and yet I am technically underweight by BMI standards. I guess it's more Cheerios for breakfast for me. The dental exam was routine (no cavities), except for listening to the inauguration during the cleaning (more on this later).
2. Textbooks: They have been purchased and have begun to be read. In front of Law and Order.
3. Teaching Assignment: I get to teach Math 112 this semester, as the actual instructor. May heaven have mercy on those students, because I won't (okay, that's a bit of a stretch).
4. Parking: Aparently the parking situation at the apartment complex is being put under the university's transportation department, although we've officially been told nothing. It appears that procedures will pretty much stay the same, except that we may get new permits (and hopefully not be charged for them).
5. Sermon: The rough draft is finished, and I've received feedback from three people so far. Now I need to figure out how to trim the sermon down after revising it.
6. Rest of the Church Service: One of the Sunday School teachers has been tapped to lead the children's portion of the service. I have received the order of worship and some prayers to use throughout.
7. Travel Plans: These are still to be determined. I will get directions out to people sometime next week (one set from Frederick, as I think Adam can find his way there, and one from Baltimore).
8. Weather: Still to early to tell. And hopefully for the last time, I have no control over this.

Conclusion: all signs point to a go for launch, at least for the semester. The weather will determine the church service.
Oh, the comments on the inauguration. Let it be a lesson to us all to have a set of notes with us. Chief Justice Roberts botched the oath of office on Tuesday. This of course led to some people saying Obama was not legally president since the oath wasn't correct, and others to accuse Roberts of purposely messing up the ceremony. Both of these are absolutely ridiculous claims. The twentieth amendment makes it clear that Obama was president effective at noon on January 20, oath or no oath. Second, does anyone really think Roberts purposely made a fool of himself in front of the entire world to serve some political agenda? The man made a mistake. There is no "vast right-wing conspiracy" here. Fortunately, Roberts was gracious enough to go to the White House last night and administer the oath with the correct wording. So it kind of makes both ridiculous ideas moot.
Oh, and thank you to those who have reviewed the sermon and given me feedback. I sincerely appreciate it.
