Fascinating how sportswriters are doing some of the better work in journalism these days. Mike Lupica, another sportswriter, has been unstinting in his criticism of all things Dubya … in the “New York Daily News”.

But then again, I never would have imagined the current incarnation of Frank Rich back when he was the NYT theatre critic.

I could use some pool time. It’s 28 degrees here today, and snowing. More pool time please… *G*

You’ve probably moved on, but in case you come back here. I’d love to sit and sip with you.
Can we sit out by the pool? Hoping you have as nice weather in AZ as we do in CA this am.

Waiting for water to boil as we speak. Gotta do protein drink and vitamins prior to coffee each morning.

There has to be a way to feed the hungry. There’s no excuse when there is such an excess of food in the world.

BTW, one anecdote about the soda machines in schools. Those are banned at my sister’s school. However, there remained one snack machine outside of the gym at the insistence of the coaches given how many hours some athletes are on campus.

During a recent Friday night basketball game, a tubby 9 year old (at the game with his mom) smashed into the machine for a candy bar (”I just wanted one.”) The mom was unfazed by this….and unapologetic.

Sis used that little event as an excuse to have the machine hauled off….was appalled by junior/momma but secretly thrilled.
