Guy posted a bid on eBay for a Mickey Mouse outfit. Now he owns the NY Knicks.


I worked more on Gerta this afternoon. You can tell because I have bloody knuckles. But the driver's side wheel is now ready for re-assembly once the new spacers come. I'm going to wait to tear into the passenger side until then just in case I need to see how it looks as I put this side back together. My digital camera has died so I couldn't take a "before" pic as I usually do in a repair that requires tear-down.

The Vatican's second highest authority, Cardinal Bertone, has said the child sex abuse scandal in the Church has nothing to do with the vow of celibacy. Instead, Bertone says, the sexual abuse of children is a result of homosexuality.
How exactly is this better for the Catholic Church? 'cause didn't he just say they have a bunch of gay priests?

I went to Home Depot last Saturday looking for a particular copper pipe fitting called a wing fastener. The guy said I'd find it at a plumbing supply store over in Surprise. I went there this morning and he sent me to an industrial plumbing supply outfit in Peoria. That guy told me to try Home Depot.

I watched a little of Mike & Mike this morning and not surprisingly a good portion of their show covered Phil Michelson's win at The Masters. Watching that reminded me that two golfers have recently taken 4 months off of the tour. One of them left golf to be with his wife while she fought breast cancer. The other....
Mike Golic said some viewers probably found themselves having left the group that used to root for Tiger as they watched tourneys. I'm one of them.

An article on the website for the local ABC affiliate says a retired police sniffer dog can be rented by parents who want to know if their kids have a drug stash.
"Experts say Drago is useful for people who want to discover if someone they know is using drugs without contacting police."
There has to be a better way to write that sentence. Or somebody needs to tell people they're supposed to call the cops before they light up a joint.

I'm going back to the dentist Wednesday morning. I called them today because I don't think my mouth should hurt this much five days after he worked on me. And I'm running out of Ibuprofen.

A week from today I leave for Grand Rapids. Tomorrow I'm going to hunker down with my assigned topic for the Wed. night session and try to figure out what I'm going to say. Speaking to preachers presents special challenges and I'm wondering why I accepted this gig.

Time for supper, and more Ibuprofen.
Isn't it just about time for MNF again??

Please get that mouth pain resolved before flying to GR. High altitude, even in pressurized cabins, magnifies sinus, gum and tooth pain. I know this first-hand.
