if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes

...that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
- Bill Withers

Yeah, it's good to have a purpose, to be useful. Getting old isn't much fun, but the alternatives ain't so hot either.

I'm gonna go visit Kid B at college this weekend, and watch me some women's field hockey. The school is gonna add womens lacrosse in the spring; the difference between lacrosse and field hockey is like the difference between a John Wayne movie fight and a Jackie Chan movie fight. I can't even keep up with the John Wayne movies anymore. You kids get off that grass! go play your ball games somewhere else.

It seems that Rush Limbaugh is truly the teabagging queen.
How do we git rid of treasonous bastards that ridicule democracy the way the fascist dope fiend does?

THe light at the end of the tunnel

Well, the end of an era is rapidly approaching. Kid B has picked a place to go and is almost gone. Well, he is gone temporarily - to the state Academic Decathlon competition. This weekend is the final event in his career as AcDecalete. Only one more season to wrap up before graduation, I've been counting down since two-a-days. I'm pretty happy about his choice of colleges.

I'm just hoping that this bright light isn't an oncoming train.
