vw -- that's a great letter!
I have a stick blender, somewhere. I really wish I had a food processor. I'm hoping I'll be able to snag one via Freecycle. I managed to get a monitor, the other day someone offered up three. I now own a large, old, ugly monitor. But it's large and I'm no longer having a problem with lj styles that are pale or kind of monochromatic.
The football game was at noon today. I'm a wee bit sunburned, but I've slathered on the aloe and should be fine. There were No assholes at the game! I ended up sitting on the row they were at last Saturday. When we got there a guy, rather young looking, was kind of sitting by himself, he had his arm in a sling and had one of those canes with four feet. His buddy came down from higher and they explained that he was back from Iraq and couldn't get up the 20 rows to where they were sitting. Our row is right next to the ramp to go down inside. And they said if the people who sat there came, they'd be willing to trade. After his friend left and some more people showed up on our row I told the guy if there wasn't room, I'd move up to where his friends were. We didn't have to do that though.
We won the game, but the defense sucked. The offense has been getting better, now that the coach's son is up in the press box and relaying is play calling that way.
