Thursday

I got a gizmo from my kids that will play my ipod over a radio freqency in the car. Wow.

Also, there has been a praying mantis visiting me in the cigar lounge. I will try to get a picture of him (her?).

Football season has started. I am watching the Pittsburg/Tennessee game. I do love football season.

My daughter is still learning how to drive. I have been letting her drive me around. This has to be taking years off of my life.

Today

I forgot that this was only Wednesday. I got home and started looking for the football game (the Thursday night game), but it was not on (since this clearly is not Thursday night). I love football season. Of course, it is always better when the Cowboys have a good season. Alas, I am skeptical of their chances for the playoffs.

No football, but Roger Federer is playing a US Open match this evening. The guy is amazing. He is playing the Swede, Robin Soderling, and is, so far, having his way.

It was this time last week that Sugar went down and we had to get her to a vet in the middle of the night.

Last week, I told another attorney that Oklahoma could very easily lose that game against BYU. Those Mormon boys are never a walk over.

Today was a long day at work. Some of the guys talked me into going to the new Chinese buffet in Decatur for lunch. I won't be doing that too often. I am miserable in the afternoon when I eat too much lunch.

I did not listen to the Obama speech this evening. I have listened to several previous speeches. He is always the same. He is full of slogans and platitudes. He is all flash and no substance. He is in such a rush to cram this socialism down our throats. We have to get him out in 2012.

I really hate it when people tell me that Sarah Palin is stupid. This is what the main stream media wants you to believe, so they believe it.

I have some new books that I really want to read, but I also need to finish the one that I am writing. Don't you hate it when you get confused over which task to do, so you do neither? I hate it when that happens.

I have waited 10 years for this...

If you haven't seen the first one, you really need to.

You're welcome.

This was a good dog.

Sugar came to live with us in 2001 when we adopted her from the Humane Society. We found her after someone had poisoned our dogs that same year. She filled the void left by that senseless act. She was rescued when some moron dumped her and her sister on the UNT Campus. Everyone thought she was a German Shepherd mix, but really she was mostly Scottish Kelpie. She was the best watch dog I have ever seen. She was good to her family, and I think she had a good life with us.
Sugar died on September 3, 2009. She was about 10 years old. We loved her and she loved us. We will miss her terribly.
