Road trip

The highway sign just told me I'm 1700 miles from Denver. I'm not sure
what good that does me. I'm in Baltimore.

Questions to Ponder

I know you get a rainbow when it rains. Do you get a snowbow when it
snows?

This waste of your time brought to you by my freezing walk to the bank
during lunch.

Sleeping in the car 2

I think we wore her out

We are usually very careful about getting home in time for Mia's nap,
not later than 1:30 or so (normal nap time is about 1). But this day
my flag football ran late, we had a great lunch, and then drove the 15
minutes home.

She literally fell asleep with the sippy cup in her mouth. Once we got
home, she had a little milk, put on pjs and a pullup, and she was out
for another 2 hours. Whew!!

Dichotomy

Something seems ironic about reading the Wall Street Journal in
McDonalds. But I had to get my 99 cent filet-o-fish.

This is how Addy spent her time in church - reading the 20 ways to
pray for missionaries.

Comfy 2

Comfy

Here's Mia in her "comfy pjs" watching mickey mouse clubhouse on a
relaxing morning.

Cohen and Cohen

"Steve, Steve and I have something to tell you."

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (seriously, that's his name) is the latest running back for the New England Patriots. He's pretty good. And since his name's so long and takes forever to say, apparently his teammates just call him "Law Firm."

I need a good nickname. Unfortunately, my name is too easy to say, so there's no real motivation. I did get called Boy Wonder one time, but I think that was more of a "Boy, wonder what we were thinking when we hired him??!!"

Why Republicans are getting trounced

Dr. (Senator) Coburn lays it straight again...

"Therefore, what led the Republican Party to this day was not the application of conservative principles but the abandonment of those principles while hypocritically appealing to those tenets. The past few years have shown a strong correlation between electoral success and fidelity to limited government conservatism. The more Republicans abandoned conservatism, the more voters abandoned Republicans."

How to make it through the day

The magic formula....

Take advantage of every opportunity...

Matt Cassel, highly acclaimed out of high school, sat on the bench for four years at USC, behind Carson Palmer and then Matt Leinart. But who is the only one actually playing in the NFL right now? Yup - Cassel. Palmer is hurt, Leinart is benched (too many off-season parties), and Cassel is leading the Brady-less Pats to a 5-2 record (fighting with the struggling Colts right now).

Let that be a lesson to all you little boys and girls out there - never give up, even if you always seem to be playing second fiddle.
