I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. -- Winston Churchill











Sad what is going on, it didn't just start either. It has sped considerably though!

Jesse and Marla had their reception at Stick's on Saturday night. Neat place. Even better than that they looked happy! Awesome for them!

Saturday night we watched the Barnstormers blow the game.

Watched alot of rain this weekend.....

Had a nice Friday off, got several things done at home. The boys were out early. That was nice!!

Other than that just RAIN!!!!

...and the NFL Draft... Cowboys what a waste. Sanchez going to the Jets , Hopefully that will be fun to watch.

Parkville Microbrew Fest on Saturday. Doing some interviewing and shooting while there.

Kyle and Reneanna finally getting married on Saturday. Matt(first cousin) is also getting married in Vegas.

Alright for those certain people out there. Nt saying everyone hasn't had this before, especailly after some drinking binge the night before...... Banish Bad Breath!

Leaving here at 11, not bad for starting at 6 this morning. Kids are out of school at 11:30 and it's suppose to be another nice day....

Lots of work to do over these 3 days, hope the boys are ready. Of course baseball pictures tomorrow. Jesse and Marla's reception tomorrow night, is it wrong to just pop in with shorts on and leave. I know how that kids will be excited about going.

I think I actually got some sleep last night.

Word of the Day: Ubiquitous; Existing or being everywhere, esp. at the same time

Wow baseball practice yesterday....awwww....I knew this age was difficult, but there is one kid that will not focus for anything. I'm going to have to get him his own coach, just to stay on him.

Deep Thought for the Weekend: I think a good way to get into a movie is to show up where they're making the movie, then stick a big cactus plant onto you buttocks and start yowling and running around. Everyone would think it was funny, and the head movie guy would say, "Hey, let's put him in the movie."

...and that actually works around here!!!...just ask George

next week 3-4 weddings and microbrewfest...which is currently the plan to do some filming....Have a great one!!

Another TMNT movie, looks like they are going to make another live action movie.

Slightly nipply on the steak ride last night

Drake Relays this weekend!!!! That would explain the crappy weather coming in on Saturday!

We won every game at pool, except one. I would be the one that lost it, but I did play their best last night.

Track meet in Knoxville tonight......

Blaise BB practice tonight.....

Apple Approves Tasteless Baby-Shaker iPhone Game, Then Removes It

The worst McCain Photo......


The NFL draft is this weekend...I have little faith in

Guess if I handle a cat at Wrigley , it won't be by the tail!

Deep Thought of the Day: If you want to be the popular one at a party, here's a good thing to do: Go up to some people who are talking and laughing and say, "Well, technically that's illegal." It might fit in with what somebody just said. And even if it doesn't, so what, I hate this stupid party.

Finally the widescreen TV (2.35:1) that I actually want. Actually fills the screen. Of course any TV show or 4:3 would look like crap on it. I can live with that, until I get the projector installed in my viewing room.

Last Wine night of the season, tomorrow.

Pool tonight, its going to be a great night for Steak night!

Austin's track meet last night, Indianola 7th grade boys finished second behind SE Polk. Austin did OK. Still not impressive, he did finish 2nd in his heat for the 200m Hurdles, 3rd in his heat for the 7 fly hurdles.

Bring on Friday!!!!
