Being Lazy

Another weekend has slipped into the pages of history. We are slowly digging out of the ice. Right now, I am waiting for the sun to soften the ice up so I can go out and hack away at it. Bowling was a mixed bag this week as the kids went 2-2 and the night team went 7-0. I was beginning to wonder after the first game with the kids. The other team slammed us and I started wondering why we as a team did not click and bowl good. Then the second and third game they did and we destroy the other team. I am hoping they learn to bowl as a team and winning can be a constant occurrence. There is only a month until we head for Reno and the National Tournament, so I guess I need to get started prepping and get ready for this one. Too many eyes will be watching me.

Wild Mom is probably starting the packing process for next month. I contacted Amtrak and they are adding an extra baggage car for her.

Lady is working today. She had a good day bowling yesterday. She was a bit off center as Lew was not here to keep the activity level high.

#1 is doing well and not much to say. He does enjoy the boxes of homemade cookies Lady fixes and sends to him. His big challenge now is to get a bed for Lady to sleep on when she gets there in March.

#2 had his first driving lesson. Yes, we survived and the car returned with no new wrinkles in it. He and Critty was our guest at the sweetheart dinner and Lady and I really enjoyed the time. This was just one of those growing moments all parents enjoy.

Starr was, well Starr was Starr. You never know how she will be dressed even to just go out and get coffee at Starbucks. She did not have to work as they already had a full shift. Some of her hours are dictated by how much another young woman who is pregnant can work. Now we have to get her an inside job that pays more. Waiting tables is a great way to tide you over but we want to see her go further especially since we know she has the smarts to go far.

Princess spent most of the weekend at the Station. After being stuck at home all week, she wanted to be stuck at the fire station. We could not talk her into being with us at the dinner. I did ask the people who prepared the dinner to maybe next time include more fast food. This way the younger crowd would come. There is something about a buffalo wing dinner we cannot compete against with a balanced meal.

Monday - No puppy … No Puppy
Tuesday - No puppy … No Puppy
Wednesday - No puppy … No Puppy
Thursday - No puppy … No Puppy
Friday - No puppy … No Puppy
Saturday - No puppy … No Puppy
Sunday - No puppy … No Puppy

Ok, got that out of the way for the week.

Lew was in time-out and did not spend the weekend with us.

Well another state adds civil unions to what it will allow.

I see the Democrats are still beating up Bush on Iraq. I wonder when they will step up to the plate and put forth a plan to deal with the problem as they see it. However, they will not because that means taking a stand and facing the music if it backfires. We all know the Democrats do not have that much inner fortitude since all they can do is gripe.

Looks like MLB will allow Bonds to break Aaron’s record after the Giant’s agreed to terms. It appears cheating will be the new norm for MLB. Why play fair is you can cheat and do it easier. What a sad signal is being sent by MLB to the youth. If this record is allowed to be broken by juicer Bonds then vote Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame. Do not penalize Pete anymore if the rules are meant to be broken.
