Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as big as it needs to be?

Even in Sun City, you gotta take your meds!

For the last few weeks we have little tiny flies, even smaller than fruit flies, in the area of our house where we sit to watch TV. I haven't noticed them anywhere else. They are REALLY annoying. They seem to like warm moist areas because they land in my coffee and fly up our noses.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a team lunch with the city's Chamber of Commerce Tuesday and introduced their starting lineup. The dessert plates had barely been cleared and the room emptied when their quarterback, David Garrard, got a phone call telling him he'd been cut by the team. That has to be the quickest starting-QB-to-unemployed change in the history of the NFL. And I wonder about the team execs and coach who made those introductions knowing that in a matter of minutes they'd deliver that news.

Pam likes "Frasier," the Kelsey Grammer sit-com that ran for 10 years, with re-runs currently playing on one cable TV station or another at any hour of the day. We have watched a LOT of Frazier lately. Consistent with God's design for the universe I have the remote in my possession at all times unless I'm in another city. But barring something really, really good on TV (read: sports) I've found Frazier re-runs to watch. The other night she said, "We don't have to watch Frazier all the time."
Did I mention football starts tonight?

I tried to watch the Republican debate last night. Really, I did. But I could only take about 3 minutes of it before I switched back to Frazier. I hate artificiality and stupidity.
Too much of one or the other or both.

I watched the President's speech tonight. Most of it. OK, a lot of it.
He gets points for picking a loaded name: "The America Jobs Act." How do you vote against that?
Well, it starts by noting that he didn't say anything about how much all of this would cost.

"Clouds This Afternoon, Snow Tonight"
Did you see the item about the TV weatherman in Arkansas who was partying with two friends and woke up in the morning sitting in a waterless hot tub with the cold dead body of one of his friends next to him? The guy at whose house this happened says they'd been snorting some drugs earlier in the evening but he can't remember what.

We hit 110 in Sun City today. But they're predicting storms over the weekend and highs near 100. Hallelujah!

Sometimes my head is too full of stuff. Some days my heart is too full.
