LONDON.
|
| Jesus.
What a horrible and scary day Londoners are having. Four blasts
resulting in 40 killed and 300 injured--numbers which I'm sure will go
higher. And I can only imagine the confusion and rumors and lack of
information that Londoners are dealing with. It was supposed to be a
time of happiness and hope with the Olympics coming in 2012 and the G-8
Summit, but no. Not anymore.

|
|
INDIFFERENCE.
|
INCHING.
|
ALWAYS SPLIT EIGHTS.
|
|
Imagine if the NHL got its shit together and the season started on
time--and then only half the fans came back to the arenas.
|
And
what did I do last night? I drank some wine on the deck and laughed at this
little guy. Yes indeed, my life is grand.
|
Less than two weeks until Vegas Bachelor Party 2005. I've boned up on my
blackjack skills and all I need to do now is memorize my little cheat
sheet. Heh. Let's do it.
|
|
|
TWO TEAMS.
|
OOPS.
|
|
Bethy
and I were talking about how cool it would be to have the both
the Nationals and the Padres in the playoffs. Yes, I know, it's quite the pipe dream, but
with my history of fan futility, maybe I'm owed. Maybe I'm owed a lot.
Or maybe I end up with squadoosh. Yet again.

I've been sucking it up on the softball field lately. My hitting has
been a little erratic (I blame it on my golf game), but what's really
bothered me is my fielding. The last two weeks in Reston ball I've made
key errors. First I kicked a ball to the fence (don't ask) which allowed
the tying run to score in the last inning. We ended up losing by a run.
Then, the next week I dropped a fly ball (because sweat dripped into my
freakin' contact lens) in deep left center which led to 3 runs being
scored--and again we lost by a run. Yeah, it's just stupid softball, but
it still ticks me off.

SELF-EDITING.
|
London,
Small Stuff, Watch Jason Phillips Run, Self-Editing, Always Split
Eights, Two Teams, Inching, Indifference, and Oops. |
Bleck. I was perusing some of
my old entries yesterday and a lot of them were really really
cringe-inducing (like most of the ones from 2000). I know I've probably mentioned this before, but it makes
me think that maybe I should lop off the bad entries.
Then again, I might not have much left if I did that.

WATCH JASON PHILLIPS RUN.
|
SMALL STUFF.
|
|
|
Wedding
Update: Well, besides getting a cake, all the big stuff is taken care
of. Reception place, tuxes, wedding dress, bridesmaids' dresses,
flowers, photographer, invitations, honeymoon, registries, DJ, and
officiant. Check, check, check. Now we have to do all the smaller stuff,
which I know is going to be annoying (annoying to get it all done, not
annoying in itself). Things like getting candles for the reception
tables, scheduling hair and makeup trial runs (uh, for Beth, not me),
doing the seating chart, etc are what's left. And it's a lot of stuff.
We've got a huge calendar and task list posted in my office and we're
trying to keep everything organized and get things done when we're
supposed to, but...well, we'll see. Hopefully, the Big Day won't come
and we forget something silly like ceremony programs.
