Wedding Planning

Duh.

The survey of 1,000 women by TheKnot.com, WeddingChannel.com and ForbesWoman.com also showed that women spend about 10 hours a week planning their wedding and nearly 30 percent of it is done at work.

Twenty percent of women admitted that more than half of their wedding arrangements were done at work and 41 percent said they did it whenever they could. But only 15 percent said that someone at work had commented about it.

Most women also thought they did more work on the wedding than their partner.

As for the last point… um…. yeah.

NK Threatens Nuclear Response

Someone might want to look into this

North Korea says it will use its “nuclear deterrent” in response to joint US-South Korean military exercises this weekend.

Pyongyang was ready to launch a “retaliatory sacred war” at any time, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

Washington and Seoul say the war games are to deter North Korean aggression.

Tensions between the two Koreas have been high since the sinking of a South Korean warship in March.

Toronto Trip

I spent the last few days in Toronto.  It was my first time to the Canada, so it was fun.  Unfortunately, my return trip included a very long line at customs, hours on the Tarmac, and a sprint through O’Hare.  But I can’t complain too much after seeing the people hanging out on cots at O’Hare and sleeping chairs in Mitchell.

I’ve been traveling every week for the past six weeks or so.  I don’t have another scheduled trip for a few weeks.  Back to our regularly scheduled blogging…
