Spring is here
It is in the 70's here, blustery, and thunderstorms are predicted.
Today's post is a hodge podge:
1. March Madness became March Sadness for me as Bradley University beat my Kansas Jayhawks. I felt a little better when Bradley beat Pitt. It also helped seeing other high seeds get sent packing. I guess misery does love company.
On the bright side, LSU is still in it. No doubt, Cindra's Duke Blue Devils will end the tournament for the Fighting Tigers, but you never know. I guess that is why they play the games.
2. On Saturday we were driving through town and passed through an anti-war protest. The protesters looked ridiculous. Central casting must have been in charge of the event. There were a handful of burnt out hippies who probably live in $500,000 homes and a smattering of coffee shop, dark clothes wearing college kids.
They held signs talking about Bush the liar, and then they got down right insulting. I am not a protesting kind of guy. I see that as a pussy play. If you want to change something, do things that will make a change. Holding up a sign on a Saturday afternoon in our town is not going to do a darn thing, but exercise your arms.
Maybe I am missing something, but protestors assume the victim role. They are whiney babies expecting someone to do what they want just because they want it. Sheesh. Hold your breath folks, your efforts may pay off.
3. Doctor's visit: I am going to a podiatrist today to see about my plantar fasciitis / heel pain. It isn't getting any better so I am hoping for some cortisone injections. The MD is supposed to be a sports medicine doc. The difference is a sports medicine doc tries to keep you active. The regular MD says something like, "It hurts when you run? Stop running."
4. iTunes music library: I trimmed my iTunes music library down from 6700 songs to about 4300. How did I do it? I went through and trashed most of the rap and most of the alternative music my son had in there. I kept a couple of 2Pac’s songs and even a couple by Eminem.
John has his own laptop so there is no need for our music libraries to be combined anymore. The best part is I can put the entire library on shuffle and only hear songs I like. It was a tedious job, but completed.
OK, back to work. The dog needs walked, a second cup of coffee needs to be drunk, and I must get ready for work.
Here's hoping you all have a great first week of spring.
Until the next time
