Got to start all over.....
It's been 6 weeks since I last posted. I just haven't had the desire to espouse any great ideas, especially since I've been lacking in great ideas.
But, I do have multiple random thoughts. Not that you, gentle reader, care, but what the heck. How about a random thoughts posting. On each of my favorite subjects, one after the other.
Family
Jacob is now involved in wrestling. I am going to all his meets. Other than watching nervously and screaming as he get pinned, there is little I care about at these meets. But the good news is that I am now back to reading the book I started late this summer. Past that, Jacob is enjoying this much more than I am...which is as it should be.
Elliott is having problems with the following: doing homework, reading for school and keeping focused. But he now has a guitar and will soon be taking steps to become the world's next great guitarist. Given his desire and, what I believe is, his talent, I expect nothing less.
Tracey is missing her father something awful. As hard as I try, there is no way I can put myself completely in her place. I still have both parents. I don't talk to my parents everyday. As much as I love them, they are not nearly as involved in my life as Tracey's is to hers. And this time of year certainly doesn't make it any easier. I just wish I could do something to truly help, but all I can do is be her husband and try not to screw that up.
Sports
The Mitchell Report came out yesterday. I listened for hours to all the information. I assimilated it. I understand the strengths and weaknesses of this work. I respect what he and baseball is trying to do. But since there is now a steroids testing which seems to be somewhat effective, I just don't care. I do care that the Diamondbacks just picked up Dan Haren from the A's. I'd like for the Braves to get a couple of more players, maybe another OF who can hit big and a relief pitcher or two. Pitchers and catchers report on February 15.
Division I college football needs a playoff more than words can describe. It is absolutely stupid to have the guess work called the BCS.
But, I will pray for Hawaii to beat UGA.
Tech getting Paul Johnson as head coach will end up being beyond wonderful. I predict a national championship within 5 years.
Politics
Bill Richardson is the best candidate around.
I must stop here.....rat alert in the house!!!!!
