A couple big important things

First off, happy Birthday Major. Yes, I know it was last week, but "better late than never" has been kind of a running theme for this blog. I heard lots of fun times were had by the ladies Friday night while celebrating. I heard this repeatedly actually, as I got a few phone calls that night with updates.

So I'm just getting out of one of my busiest weeks of work in a while. Stupid work and it's throwing a cramp in my play schedule. Spent way, way too much time on a laptop this week, so needless to say I couldn't seem to get together the motivation to write at all. My schedule should open up a bit from here on out, so I'll see what I can do it about writing more. No promises though.

School's back in session, which means two things. One, the wifey is definitely out of fun mode, and into "Educating our Young" mode, which means waking up at 5:30 every morning. For her, not me. Fuck that, if I was in charge, our young wouldn't get educated until mid-afternoon.

It also means that the students have started piling back into campus. It's a mixed blessing, really. They certainly bring more energy to the town, and they also dilute the percentage of self-righteous assholes. Parking spots quite simply disappear, and the bad driving factor multiplies exponentially. Also, I feel older every year. I know I've probably said it before, but I really do think the freshman look like children this year. I swear to god I saw a 12 year old moving into the dorms on Friday. I never, ever, looked that young. Except for maybe when I was 12.

Good article this morning in the Kansas City Star, by Joe Posnanski. (<--- Spelling uncertain, but like you care.) I'd say this guys one of the best sports columnists in America right now. For more proof, check out his blog The Soul of Baseball. He's not updating the blog right now, but there is a ton of great articles about baseball, movies, and other random things. If you're looking to kill some time, check some of them out.
