I can still be surprised by things my daughter says, even after eleven years. Here’s a snippet of a conversation between Cheryl and Beth.
“You know Beth, in another six or seven years you may be living on your own.”
“Not in this economy. I wouldn’t be able to afford to live on my own.”
She may be gaining on Cheryl’s height as we watch, but she’s…
On Cheryl’s behalf, I want to say thanks for your comments and your thoughts. Cheryl got a little lift from every comment, message, and stop over (at the house).
Now that I’ve got the warm-fuzzies out of the way I’m going to start whining.
Cheryl’s been feeling a little worse, but it wasn’t unexpected. She’s been home all this week – except for when…
The Phillies were the better team. I’m not going to qualify that statement in any way. At best, the Rays starting pitching was equal to the Phillies (but I don’t think they were), and the Phillies bullpen was much better.
Folks talk about the Rays having the potential to be good for a long time, but it’s hard to buy now. Not because they’re suddenly a bad team, but because…
I didn’t think this would be a great weekend. My wife’s cousin was killed in a motorcycle accident last weekend and we planned to drive over to Orlando for the service set for Saturday (tomorrow).

If you believe the robo-calls blanketing the country, Obama’s first action as president will be to firebomb a few red-state capitals around…
Maybe that was true months ago, but tonight added the exclamation point.
I wasn’t really confident going into tonight. No Rays fan should have been. I spent four hours of my life repeating to myself: “it’s just a game… it’s just a game,” but if you put a finger on my wrist you wouldn’t need a stopwatch to know I was having trouble convincing…
I had no reply for two things said yesterday:
“I don’t know how to ride the bus.”
“I didn’t have any money and I didn’t know what else to do so I put a little Crazy Glue on my cap and stuck it back in my mouth.”
No, it wasn’t the same person.
One person was trying so hard to rationalize his loutish behavior he was reduced to spouting absurdities, the…
