HOLY COW! Cubbies win the Central!!

No matter how weak the division is, the Cubs went from last in 2006 to first this year, from 30 games under .500 to 84 wins so far – unbelievable!!! The Brewers gave it a great run, but the Cubs pulled it out. WOO HOO!!

My Pop and I spent the entire evening on the phone following both games, and we’ve been watching the celebration in Cinci in the Cubs clubhouse. Silly? of course. But these moments, sharing this with my Dad, this is what life is about.

Seriously.  I just read an article where the author wrote "livelly hood" and "frase" (phrase) and "saposed" (supposed).  How the hell can the American public be so poor at spelling?  I went to a public school, but I actually know how to spell things like "you’re" and "acquire" and "rogue".  Maybe I have some latent spelling super power, or just use half a brain. 

Petty?  maybe.  But I’m sick of seeing just how dumb everyone is.  This entire country needs a dictionary for Christmas.  Bah!

With the somber anniversary of 9/11 today, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that was affected by this awful event. Take a few moments today to remember the sacrifices made that day.

So over the holiday weekend, we went to the family condo up in the mountains for a little downtime.  While zoning out in front of the TV, I happen to stumble upon the Patrick Swayze Marathon and one of the greatest awful movies of all time – Roadhouse.  This movie is horribly bad, but totally awesome at the same time.  Like a lawless western with sweaty bad mullets and /kung fu dance moves while wearing Chuck Norris Action Jeans.  Plus the awkward romance between the singularly-named Dalton (Swayze) and Sam Elliot.  At least I thought it was romance.  Anyway, I just couldn’t turn the channel.  I had to watch like 30 minutes before I could finally muster the strength to press the remote. Crazy.  And horrible. And cool.

 

 Patrick Swayze Fever – catch it!
