Basketball in full swing..... 
Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 11:28 AM
Most of the house is the cleanest it has been in the last 15 years.

Indians beat Creston last night. Austin had a very nice game. He had the most; points, assists, rebounds, and fouls for his team last night. I feel so sorry for the kids, they have one of the most talented teams Indianola has had for a while and horrible coaching. What kind of coach allows kids to continuously drive through presses instead of passing the ball to the open guys? Just one problem. Won't say anything about the referee actually picking on Austin . They play Jamie and the very good Ankeny team tonight....

The boys and I played alot of basketball over the holiday at the Y.

We won, where was Christopherson?

The A-Team was pretty decent. The actors were perfect fits to the originals!

Cool video of the step-by-step process of making a football. My only question is; how boring would it be to be performing these jobs for 30 some years??

I Guess It's Politically Incorrect

I've heard that Apple has scrapped plans for the new children's iPod after realizing that "iTouch Kids" is not a good product name.

In a pub quiz the other day I lost by just two points. The question was where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it's Africa.

One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells. It appears that "Blacks" and "Hispanics" is not the correct answer.

A new Muslim clothing shop opened in Burlington, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles - but at least they drive slowly in school zones.

A biker goes to the doctor with hearing problems. "Can you describe the symptoms to me?" asked the doctor. "Yes. Homer is a fat yellow lazy bastard and Marge is a skinny bird with big blue hair."

I just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook. I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!" Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have asked to be my friend!

Being a righteous man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip I said to the lady at the registration desk, "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled." To which she replied, "No, it's regular porn - you sick bastard!"

Happy New Year!

Tron Legacy was way awesome. I'd seen Tron once before not the biggest fan, but this one was pretty cool. Especially going back and watching the original and all the cool connections between the two...

Whats up with this freezing rain stuff??

Busy day on the house today and the next two....maybe the kids will get the idea of what I was trying to purvey.

No pardon for Billy the Kid .

Pet Peeve of the Day: People that can't pick up after themselves at movie theaters. Now I'm not asking for people to pick up the popcorn that was dropped. Is it really that hard to pick up their popcorn bucket/bag and cup and throw them away on the way out the door?? You wouldn't just leave them laying around like that at home, would you?? Takes a second!

Fortune

Bad luck or good luck? No fortune in my fortune cookie?? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Knight and Day was actually an enjoyable movie...slightly chicish.

After a nice break they finally play again tonight at Virgina .

Quiet New Year...games, some homemade pizzas, ping pong tournament, maybe a movie in there..... Tron for sure

Going to try some more skating this afternoon.

Work on the house all weekend as we have someone coming to check it out....damn? Just a lot to do and to dispose of.

We all went to the Science Center yesterday, after Austin's practice(Austin,Blaise,Jen,Jace,Riley). Not that exciting.

Finally hit Brenton Skating Plaza last night all of us.....packed due to the holiday.
