Gamers rule! (sometimes)

The National Review is a pretty conservative paper, but it comes as no surprise that even nationally newspaper columnists are "coming out of the closet" about being gamers. Gamers are a billion dollar industry and let's face it, geeks are running the industry now. I personally have very fond memories of my gaming days and I think this guy hits it right on the head of the nail. It was fun and actually beneficial, regardless of what out parents told us....

Sox win!

Congrats to the Boston Red Sox! Now many, many old people in Boston can die, since they have now seen the first World Series win since 1918. And, now the Chicago Cubs have a lock on the title "MLB's Biggest Losers."

The last lamaze class was last night. It seemed like a big waste of time, but at least I know where at the hospital to take Cole when she goes into labor.

Thanks to Philly Jenn for (fro) pointing out the mis-spellings in my header.

Blah weather day

I was supposed to have my pre-school story time today, but I guess it was too rainy and damp for the kids to come. Little cowards...

Less than a week to go till the big election. I'm listening more to tapes in the car because I'm tired of the political ads. Still, who would have thought that Hawaii would have become too close to call? Dan Inuea must be rolling over in his grave (that is, if he's dead).

Red Sox up 3 games to 0? Against the Cards? If they win and Kerry wins and Hawaii goes Republican, then surely the rapture is coming. Which is fine, since then we Jews will finally inherit the Earth.

Baseball

Hoping for a Boston-St. Louis World Series. Maybe Roger Clemmons will drown in a vat of beer during a brewery tour. Possible, since the Busch family owns the Cardinals...

First time-gimme lime!

I love lime flavored things...Stewart's Key Lime soda, lime tootsie rolls, lime Jell-o, lime Kool-Aid. But I hate limes. Go figure.

Anyway, since I have always been called opinionated, what better way to mouth off than with a blog. I'll probably really enjoy this, even when nobody reads it.

Miriam Joscelyn (Miri) due December 6. I'll keep you posted.
