Morning all... er.. um... Evening... ok, timelies. Seems I wasn't the only one whose bed held them hostage "get some sleep or I'll never let you go". Ya, so I skipped the lil wedding photo party of some co-workers. The RnR felt much better. Now I'm at KT & ND place cat sitting. And Byron is doing a wonderful job of sitting on my lap making typing difficult. Now I really should work on this database project. Ugg. Motivation low.
Wow DavidS! Awesome news about Emmet's baseball! Maybe he'll beat Barry Bonds HR record in 20 years or so.
Emmett's team won again - their third slaughter in a row
Yay Emmett! And team! That Emmett is pretty amazing.

Well, while Emmett and Jack are both tied with 3 home runs this summer, Jack's definitely the more likely contender. Even as a 9 year old he could hit 220 foot bombs. (That's very unusual.) He hit seven home runs in Triple A this last year. I'm pretty sure that's our local record.
Emmett is still planning on making it to the majors though. He's going to Cal on a baseball scholarship and then to the bigs.
That's a lot more plan than I had when I was 10.
This is what I'm saying! Heck, I still don't have a plan.

That's a great plan. I don't recall having a plan at 10. By 12, I wanted to be a vet in a zoo. Erm...well, it didn't quite happen, but the plan was there.
I think that, at 10, I had just abandoned my plan to become an astronaut, because someone told me you can't be an astronaut if you need glasses. My new plan was to become a marine biologist.
To bed, at last, before I yawn my face off. Tomorrow will be a better day. G'night, all.
Bush pledges quick rebuild of Minneapolis bridge
The cynical side of me notes that the Republican National Convention is in Minneapolis next summer.
Quick compared to what? The hurricane Katrina rebuild?
I think 10 was still racetrack veterinarian. It was after I accepted that I was likely to be too tall to be a jockey, but while I was still obsessed with horses.
