Grrrr
Rest assured, it is just a lone wolf, and it has nothing to do with religion, and can't we all open borders/refugee/kumbaya?
Brewers - Diamondbacks with my Pop pt 2
As games go, it was a dud yesterday, a lackluster 4-0 loss. For my Dad, who tries to see a game a month, it's an unbroken string of losses dating back years. Still, it was a good time.
As we were leaving he had a lot of trouble getting to his feet. "When did you get so old Dad?" I asked, not unkindly. "I asked myself the same question last week," he said.
Later, getting mushy and unmanly, I thanked him for all he's done for me over the years.
"I could have done better, " he said.
"You did fine Pop," I replied.

School Bus Accident
YaYa's school bus was hit by a car on the way home. She's OK. Word is the car hit the bus then still had enough speed to hit another car, then careen into an empty grass lot. That's the second bus accident she's been in, the first happening years ago during her time in STAA.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Statute
Whoohoo! After an intense Ebay auction I'm now the proud owner of this chalkware! Sure, it's a waste of money better spent elsewhere. But my Grandma owned one just like this and kept it in her bedroom, and doggone it, I wanted it.
The Philippines have declared martial law on the southern island of Mindanao after a wave of attacks by Islamic terror groups, backed by ISIS, have created a state of rebellion.
My Fitbit has not synced properly since April 15, and Fitbit has "exhausted all troubleshooting options." They will, however, offer me a lovely 25% discount on a replacement device. Yeah, no thanks.
Children are dead in Manchester. Please, let us not regurgitate the same tired routine: we will light candles, we will offer prayers, we will change our FB profile picture, we will say this loser doesn't stand for everyone that shares his beliefs, we will vow to be strong . . . and we will forget, and it will repeat.

Ridiculous to find this objectionable
I was going to post this an hour ago, with a joke about how I was sure some liberal would find this statement offensive. Annnnd then, in the meantime, some liberals did object. Honestly, he should stop worrying (if he does) about ANYONE that voted for HRC. They will never care for him, no matter what. F 'em.
The Rec Site SUCKS
I'm a 3rd year law student with additional graduate level work in library science and education - and it has taken me ONE HOUR to register my kids for classes on the Milwaukee Rec site AND I was just informed I have to start over from scratch. #EitherIveGoneStupidOrTheirSiteSux
Watching Dr Who
1971's "The Daemons" -
"I see Yates. So the Doctor was frozen stiff at the Barrows, and was then revived by a freak heat wave. Benton was beaten up by invisible forces, and the local white witch claims she's seen the Devil." - The Brigadier, calmly recapping recent events.

How to Improve MLB Games
If you really want to shorten MLB games: once the batter has two strikes, he should be allowed two additional foul balls. A third is a strike and an out. There's no glory in an eleven pitch at bat. It's boring as hell.

Yes, Lisa and I are watching the live stream of Racine's Post Prom Party. Why? Who the hell knows.
Smiley's Piano Recital
A whole crowd showed up to support Smiley when he had his piano recital. The weather was wet and gloomy, but not the performance.
He strode confidently to the microphone, adjusted it for his height, and then played for the audience.
For a single semester of rec division piano, I was bowled over! Great job Smiley!
