What do the coaches not want to see that has her so captivated?A guest geek on the Today Show this morning answered a question from Matt Lauer about this latest blast of snow and cold in the northeast. Lauer wanted to know (or at least pretended to) how we should reconcile this miserable winter with global warming. The geek, a professor someplace, explained that the causative factor in all their snow isn’t so much the temperature as the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. But what I found interesting was his passing comments on global warming. He said there’s no question the earth is getting warmer, and in fact that warming puts more snow-causing moisture in the air. He went on to say there’s legitimate disagreement whether that warming is caused to any extent by human behavior or whether it’s just another of the natural swings the earth has seen over its existence.
I was shocked! A scientist/academic saying on national TV that global warming may not be caused by human behavior! Somewhere, Al Gore is pulling out his carefully dyed hair.
Some songs simply require that you turn the volume WAY up. Case in point: “I Hate Myself for Loving You” by Joan Jett.
I’m not sure if it’s OK to say this, and if it isn’t my sons will tell me the next time I see them. But one of the reasons I like tennis players Kim Clijsters and Caroline Wozniacki is that they wear modest outfits with adequate undergarments. They’re also both known for their graciousness and pleasant demeanor with other players and the press. Wazniacki provided several good laughs at the tournament before getting beat by Li Na. But I appreciate their decorum in matters of attire even if it does make me old fashioned or worse. (See this discussion on Slate for views on the subject.)
I have way too much material for Sunday’s adult class. We’re working through the 10 Commandments and this week it’s #4, the Sabbath. I’ve learned a lot from my prep. What to include, and how to structure it?
In what has to be considered a moral lapse I went into Walmart today. I needed cheap tennis balls. Cheap because I’m going to throw them, not play tennis with them. I got lazy and didn’t feel like driving three miles further up the road to Target, the next closest option.
Any trip to Walmart always leaves me with questions. This time: why don’t they have self-checkout lanes like everyone else? What business advantage do they realize by making me stand in line behind someone buying their week’s worth of groceries before I can buy a $2 can of tennis balls?
And another thing: the row of checkout stations is a quarter mile long with a store entrance at either end. Why do they only open up lanes at one end? [Note: it’s always the opposite end from where I parked my car. How do they know?] Wouldn’t it make sense to open two or three lanes at each end of the row so there would be a checkout station near your entrance/exit?
My mind has been on hyperdrive the last week or so. It makes me think of what happens with my appetite occasionally. I feel hungry all the time and want to eat anything and everything I can find. My mind feels hungry, and the more stuff I put in there the more it wants. Does your mind ever get really hungry?
This, because spastic eyelids is so much better than those annoying glasses.

These, because they're clever in a punish kind of way.
The back-up lights haven't arrived. He said he'd ship them from his place in Seattle last Monday. Even if he did UPS ground they should have arrived by now. I sent him a nice email asking for information, incl. a tracking number. If I don't hear back I have options, including a nasty review on the VW site and action through PayPal. I don't want to go down that road, I just want my lights.

Normal Walmarts across the country have self-checkout lanes. They know that in Sun City the general population won't use them because they can't figure out what a Bar Code is. That and they need an attendant to help them bag their denture cream.
One...Pastor has too much info for this week's Sunday School lesson = kids' teachers need to plan three or four extra activities to cover the "danger zone" - the time when Sunday School should be done and your material has all been used and the actual time the pastor lets the adults out.
Two...May be time to re-evaluate your life if Josh and I are your moral compass
I wish I could hang out with all of you in person.
Okay, I just watched the eyelid thing. That was horrifying.
