Well, the weekend is over and a new week begins. We brought our new Broadcast Operations Center on-line however it took from about 6 pm Saturday till 3:30 am Sunday. Too top if off, we got to drive home during the snow storm this weekend. That was an adventure as I averaged about 30 mph and only once start fish tailing when the wind and snow buildup joined forces to give me a ride as good as any "B" ticket ride. All together we only got 8 - 10" inches but the whole thing started as steady rainfall only later to become ice under the snow. Oh, shoveling snow with a 2 year old helping is one for the book. I love it when you are shoveling and making a small walkway with barely room to walk and the voice behind you kicking you in the heels, is saying, "go papaw, go." Or every 10 seconds you are asked, "What are you doing?" Followed closely by "why?"
Needless to say Sunday was spent hibernating in the morning, shoveling snow from the driveway and ending with bowling. Both teams did well and improved our positions. With 6 weeks left in this season every win counts as we try and inch closer to the top. The youth team is in 4th and the evening adult team is in 3rd. With Nationals looming on the horizon, the competition is well appreciated.
This weekend will be spent in Florida doing what I usually do when Hurricanes don't have me cleaning up the yard and that is fixing mom's computer. She needs a full time IT Department to support her. I will leave very early Saturday (18) morning and return the following Tuesday (21). The best part is the seafood. The worst part is the 15.5 hour drive, no matter how many times I drive it the drive doesn't get shorter or any easier. Someone say "Dinner at Old Mill in the Smokies?"

After the last fiasco with the DC Council and the Stadium lease, I wish MLB would tell them to stuff the papers up their rear and move the Nationals to somewhere that wants them. They made an agreement last year and now what to change it to something that suits them better. They are concerned about the budget. These are the same ones that can't meet any budget. The Mayor has more frequent flyer miles than a Senior Airline Pilot and all of them at taxpayer’s expense. A Council that can't get the roads fixed can't manage an Emergency Service so that it takes so long for an ambulance to respond a man dies and pays a fired manager a 6 figure retirement after he only worked one year. Let's fire the Council and keep the original contract. We would be better off.
I love how Mr. Brown (ex-FEMA) is going about blasting everyone for the Katrina disaster screw-up. Excuse me but it was him that led that fiasco. Love how someone who doesn't have a clue about what he is doing and lied to get the job points his finger at other's incompetence.

Maybe if a computer "expert" would put the computer together right the first time he wouldn't have to redo his work so often you can bring some snow this week end if you can
