- I’ve been hugely and uncharacteristically sloppy in keeping up with our household filing, so of course this is the time of year that the devil calls such in. I hope to get on top of the mountain by the end of the weekend.
- Well, we’re two thirds of the way through Obama’s vaunted first 100 days. I think I could stomach the arrogance if it were holding hands with competence. Instead, his “handling” of the economy is frightening and ham-fisted (to be kind), and his to-date foreign relations are utterly disastrous. I’m trying to be somewhat sparing with it all on the blog day to day, but I’ve already started the 100-day report card post.
- GPS receiver tries to kill motorist. Motorist arrested.
- OK, just one now. All of the hand-wringing and flagellation about “our standing in the world” is nauseating. Bad men don’t cease being bad men because you sit for a photo with them. Clearly, Obama doesn’t currently understand that there are a handful of countries in the world for which it is only important that they fear the United States. I hope he learns that lesson as inexpensively as possible.
- I continue to enjoy Halo Wars, though it’s not the consuming experience the “real” Halo games are. I haven’t been in a hurry to finish it. I’m about three quarters of the way through the campaign.
- Thisiswhyyourefat.com. I’ve made some ridiculous food items before, but this page trounces my comparatively meager efforts. I think my favorite is the White Castle “casserole.”
- Live in California? Want a black car? Better hurry.
- It’s rained three inches in the past 24 hours. Even if it weren’t going to rain that much again in the next 48 (which it almost certainly is), the soccer fields aren’t going to be in any kind of shape to play by Saturday, but Nathan’s game remains scheduled. We’ll see. Heh.

Our game is still on the schedule, too. We shall see. And, the California car comment that cracked me up was the one about banning fast foods because they “raise the surface area of California inhabitants” causing them to absorb more sunlight and need more a/c to stay cool.
Nathan was supposed to practice tonight. Lea saw on the local AYSO web site that Palmer was closed today, but had never heard from Nathan’s coach. She called him, and he was headed there. She called me, conveniently commuting, and I drove by there and both gates were closed and locked.
I’m looking at the forecast for overnight and tomorrow, and thinking “no way in hell.”
That always makes me chuckle. You think they’ve ever closed a pitch for rain in Scotland or Ireland? J.D. has been 0 for 2 on club-level games b/c the park thinks the fields are too soggy. THAT’S WHEN IT’S FUN! Ball moves at light speed, mud flying, and the kids who play the ball close-quarter, knife-fight style like J.D. thrive. We’re a bunch of sissies.
