Weekends are slow for most people as far as blogs are concerned.
Lately for me it is the only time I get to post.
My life is consumed with two marketing campaigns at this time and this is going to be going on for several more weeks.
I'm disappointed with the Oriole's pitching thus far.
It is early in the season so my fingers are crossed.
Many things I was able to scroll through today and it seems that Nepal is having some not so unexpected trouble.
Cooper makes note of a Bin Laden tape at her Darfur: An Unforgiveable Hell on Earth blog.
Shayna is busy but still manages to entertain us and touch our hearts at the same time.
Pia is having a guest poster this Monday.
I have a few more links I need to add to this thing when I get time. I am considering going to blog rolling sometime this week and handling it that way because it just appears easier.

Have a Good Weekend.
It's a great day here.
I'm going to play some golf and enjoy it while it lasts.
We have family coming on this evening and will hit up a new retaurant in town.
The country is going to hell and Bush, again, is standing by his man. This is getting very old.
I'm going to take the weekend off and worry about the fate of the world next week.
I get this " vision of doomsday" daily. I have a son I'd like him to know a different world.

Not all That.
I'm having a hard time keeping up with it all.
The working vacation I took not too liong ago has resulted in a lot more loose ends than I had anticipated.
The weather here is great today and I am thinking of getting in a late afternoon round of golf. I suck at golf but I play sometimes and every year a week or so after the Master's I get in a few holes.
Baseball season has sprung and I just don't know what's going on with those Orioles.
They haven't had a good year in some time and every year the fingers stay crossed until it is evident there will be no redemption.
I'll get to a more elaborate post this weekend.
Everyone take care noe.

Basketball and other things.
My biggest concern right now, and it pales in comparison to the troubles of the world I know,is that the NCAA Basketball Championship is on this evening and we have a tornado watch out with potential for storms and high winds. When this happens often the cable goes out or the electricity. I am making several alternate plans in case I have to leave and make a mad dash to another location to watch the game. Often what happens is that there will be an outage where I live and two miles down the road all will be well so my plans include several different locations to the north , south east and west.
I would have preferred to see George Mason win but there was never really any question that they had met the end of the road. I'll enjoy it anyway and think I'm going with the Bruins.
That's it for me folks until tomorrow.

Blog Problems.
Almost three weeks of a "working vacation" was just what I needed.
It was hot, we spend some time at the beach, my son loved this despite his initial distrust of the waves.
Sand is not my friend I can tell you that.
My wife and I took a three day cruise to the Bahamas and if was a nice respite for us.
She is doing well post appendectomy and feels lucky they were able to do it laproscopically.
Now we are both preparing to get back in the full swing of things next week.
I'm catching up on blogs and making plans for a weekend of basketball.
The whole George Mason thing is pretty remarkable but I think they will run out of steam even while hoping they do not. LSU? Who would have figured.This will be interesting. I doubt I will be able to talk about anything else this weekend.
I added blog inflence to my sidebar for fun. Don't think it is real accurate but the look was getting old and I needed a new link. Try it when you are bored.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Not meaning to steal anyone's modus operandi but that title fits.
Leaving Saturday for three weeks in Florida/Bahamas with my wife and my son; it is more of a working vacation but I hope to get some fishing and golf in while watching the NCAA championships, and taking my son to the beach and on a couple of boat rides while missing the spring breakers who do not tend to congregate in Naples anyway.
Me and my wife hope to get to one of the out islands of the Bahamas for couple of days of peace and quiet later on toward our return as she will be further along in the healing process. Our son will be cared for by loving grandparents at this time.
I’ll try to check in and will before leaving Saturday.
I'm not going to Disney World. I am not a big believer in theme parks if you can take a boat out and fish and swim all day. Maybe when he is older.

News
Let me be the announcer here.
The Koufax awards are now open.
I don't know if anyone knows this especially you cooper because you tend not to read those award sites but Coalition for Darfur is up for an award as well; it is under blogs that deserve more recognition. I think you deserve more recognition but that is neither here nor there.
I hadn't seen this mentioned so I thought I'd mention it here.
My wife is doing fine and is hacking away at her laptop trying to catch up on her work.
Thanks for the well wishes all.
Go vote for our friends Bring it On and Courting Destiny. Courting - a real writing blog.

Crazy Weekend
I'm back for now.
My wife had an emergency appendectomy this weekend so things became a little frantic around here. She is fine and came home yesterday because they like to get people out of the hospital as soon as possible these days due to hospital aquired infections always being a concern.
The funniest thing occured on Sunday when I was driving into the hospital to see her.
I live in an area that is Republican even though in general the state is Democratic. Cooper you may recognize the state. ;)
Directly outside the hospital , right before the drive to enter there was a lone, very tall man around six foot walking back and forth along the roadway with a very large approximately five by four foot sign which read..........................> IMPEACH BUSH
I had a immediate urge to go out and hug him but I restrained myself.
After a crazy weekend it made my day.

out for two
Don't be alarmed if you get weird emails. I was emailing different people and cut and pasting email addresses which is what I usually do with mine and ended up putting others email address in for mine and mine in for others in a couple of places. I was trying to have someone email to remind me if the Koufax Awards are accepting voting and was cutting and pasting too many emails.
I'm out for a couple of days and will only have access to a computer for email but will try to get to the computer for voting so in case only the wrong people received my emails or in case you get emails from others but they seem to be from me, it's because I was cutting and pasting email addresses.
Email me over the next few days if the voting is on and I will try to get to a computer. It will be around two days without a computer after six or so this evening.

Snow Day
I tried this before but have to do thumbnails because the regular pictures seem to cause havoc with the blog.
My drive and from my upstairs bathroom, sorry about the screen.
This stuff was heavy too, took all morning to get the drive clean.
Melted considerably by the time I took the pictures. I think we had close to a foot in some places but the roads were cleared quickly.

Snow this Weekend and the Olympics
Brown is fighting back and I'm not sure I blame him but he forgets we heard some of those tapes so I'm not sure this helps him but it sure does give us something more to think about. I don't think there are too many people out there with a funtioning brain that haven't been aware of the fact that our goernment in general and the White House in particular were largely responsible for this failure.
The warmest is 1200 years. W'eve sure been lucky this winter but it looks like, from the forecast anyway, that I will be home blowing snow this weekend.
I think I'm going go get a stockpile of food , some salt and settle down to watch the Olympics. I'm not much of a winter sports enthusiest but I do enjoy watching.

Post Superbowl Indigestion
I have let this thing go too long.
Superbowl weekend for me is usually spent with my brother and this weekend was no different. In order for this to occur one of us has to travel a significant distance and this year it was his turn so we had a houseful of people this weekend.
I don’t care that much for the game itself, most of these events are disappointing. The commercials are worth it and there is always a lot of food around. This is good because I live in a house where most of the time the frig is full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Junk food is allowed on Superbowl weekend and I take full advantage of this. The refs sucked in this game which does make it disconcerting. I say we have computers make the calls from here on in.
This is what happens when bad decisions are made.
I am all for freedoms of speech but you have to take potential consequences into consideration. Even twelve year olds do that.
Pepcid is a great drug by the way.

Too Much Health Insurance????????????
I think this signficant.
Too much health insurance?
I read this this monrning after scrolling through another blog that noted it.
I was under the impression that the problem was that some people can't afford health insurance.
This is so wrong.
No time to write this morning hope you had a great weekend.

Weekend Post
Duke did it again and my little bit of glee after the Hoya's beat them the other night was - as expected - short lived. I hope to catch the Cincinnati / Georgetown game tomorrow. The weekend again is for college basketball, some paperwork a good book and family time. If it's warm I hope to shoot some golf; it has been possible to play here this month and I have done it twice. Two cheers fro warmer than normal winters.
I will be leaving in March for a few weeks to travel to a variety of places around the globe for my job. I have not traveled overseas since my son was born but it will be necessary again at least this time.
My wife wanted to go see Brokeback Mountain this evening. I didn't. She went with a friend. I'd rather stay home and son-sit.
I like to think of myself as a fairly enlightened individual. I wonder why then I really just didn't think I could stomach this movie. What did it mean?
I love going to the movies, always have always will. Love the popcorn and chocolate mix and the five six dollar coke all mixed together. So am I a raving homophobic? We have a couple of gay friends so I just can't figure it.
It came to me eventually, it has nothing to do with any of that; it is simply that
I don't like seeing love stories of any kind unless there is a lot of action of some other kind in them, I don't like "Westerns". I don't like art films and this is a close as they come from what I hear.
If it is hilarious, clever, and fast I like it. If it is full of action and suspense I like it. I don't think that I have seen a movie that didn't fit the aforementioned criteria in a very long time.
I feel better now.
Have a nice weekend out there.

Quick One
I have been reading the BIO site recently and see it as having potential. I hope it does not become a contest among major posters for attention that the kos often seems to be. I still read the Kos mind you it just seems more often than not it is some kind of proving ground.
Sorry MJ for assuming Indiana /Iowa. Bless Duke and may the power that be fall slowly and with ease.
If anyone knows a better link manager than blogrolling let me know otherwise I am changing over to blogrolling to prevent problems should I decide to change my template.

Slippery Slopes
I don't buy into this completely. I believe we are on a very slippery slope and watching his smirking face on CNN trying to persuade does not make it any different.
Political Notio is returning to full time status in the near future.
This is a good thing I look forward to it.
The trial of SH is becoming a joke.
I hope google sticks to it's original plan.
I had a good college basketball weekend and a not so good football weekend.
I have the luxury of working from home most of this week which means spending some quality time with my son and wife.
Will be traveling quite a lot this spring so I am going to enjoy this time while it's here.
I'm holding out from changing the name of this blog to average businessman and wife.

news and Kelly Clarkson
Bin Laden on tape...we reject truce offer. Nope no truce were gonna annihilate you. Not sure what that's about. Is that guy really still alive?
Alito now qualifying his responeses. I still do not want him on the supreme court of this nation.
Wilson Pickett dies. It's someone everyday isn't it?
Kelly CLarkson won't let them use her songs for the show??
You will forgive me I was doing a three month stunt in Wisconsin at the time of the first idol and we did watch it. I've haven't seen it since but hear she has gotten pretty famous. I don't blame her.
Busy few weeks and everyone in my house is gettng sick and staying sick with sme kind of respiratory virus so I am bailing out and just doing a cop out.
