Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Wait ... BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Olympics are finally over. Yea!!! We (The USA) won the most medals Yea!!!

Football season is almost here. Yea!!!!!

The convention coverage has started. Boooooooooooooo!!!! Not that I am unpatriotic or anything, it just seems to me a whole lot of stuff I don't need to know or have already heard. I want an election with no mud slinging and with campaign promises that can actually be kept.

Anyway, let's get off of politics, 'cause I'm not very politically savy.

Nothing big is going on here now that Fay has vamoosed. Dad is doing well and is happy that Bowling Season is starting. Mom's season starts next Tuesday. Next Friday my bowling season starts, coaching, that is.

Haven't watched any movies worth reporting on. I am happy that the new TV season starts very soon.

That's pretty much it, have a good week. Ciao for now.

Battin Down The Hatches

With tropical storm Fay bearing down on Florida everybody around us should be getting prepared.

We are all prepared because we have a generator and plenty of supplies in case we're blocked in for a few days. However, I don't think it will be bad enough to cause any serious damage.

Have you guys been watching the Olympics? I have. What a performance by Michael Phelps. Eight Gold Medals in Eight Events and seven World Records. It'll be a long time before it's matched or surpassed. I won't say "never be broken" because never is a long time. I'm trying to get into Track and Field, but I just can't do it. It is interesting to see all the different techniques for all the different countries.

Women's Beach Volley Ball isn't bad. I'm interested in knowing how they keep the sand out of places that could chafe easily, you know, like between their toes or up their ... noses. What did you think I was talking about? You guys should keep your minds out of the gutter or other places that ....

We (that's USA) did surprisingly well in gymnastics and there was no sand to worry about there. There's another week left and hopefully we can win a few more individual medals if the sand doesn't screw things up. I think thats it for now. Stay loose and unsanded.

XXIX Olympiad

First off, I have to say the opening ceremony was the best opening I have ever seen and I doubt it will ever be topped in my life time!

So far I have watched about 14 hours a day of coverage. This year I decided to expand my horizon and watch some of the sports I don't normally watch (i.e. water polo, indoor volley ball, fencing, to name a few). So far, I've enjoyed myself with the exception of being sick last night.

Mom & Dad are doing well. Mom is getting used to doing the paper work for Dad's business. Occasionally I help by designing a form or some other computer related task.

Noah seems to being doing fine although his mind is in the gutter ( more than usual!!) and he has entered the electronic age and now has a cell phone. YOOOHOOO!!!

Other than that, things are as usual.

Go U S A !!!

Repeat

Same as usual.

I bought a couple new movies this week at Walmart. I watched one, "Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay". It was OK, funny, but wait six to eight months for the price to drop. It's good enough to own, but not good enough to pay over $10.00.

The other two movies I got were "Hit Man" and "The Bank Job". I'll probably watch them this week end and give you may assesment next week.

Oh, by the way, have you noticed that I'm updating on Monday? I switched Noah over to Monday so he would still be rested from the weekend. You see he doesn't do his morning walk on Saturday and Sunday so his energy is higher on Mondays. He's getting so old that he just craps out at the drop of a hat after walking any further than to the refrigerator.

Dad competed in a bowling tournament this weekend. He did pretty well, for him. He's never been much of a tournament person.

Other than that, everything else is the same. I'll see you next week. Hasta la vista ... baby!
