I'm your huckleberry

Here's an interesting historical tidbit. Today marks the 125 anniversary of the gunfight at the OK corral.

And the Great Pumpkin will rise from the pumpkin patch

Well, not really, but it's a funny thought. Around this time of year, we used to go toilet papering, steal pumpkins to smash on main street and cause general headaches for the local cops. Oh to be young again. Time marches on though, and with age comes responsibility. Caedon is doing quite well. He started sleeping through the night about three weeks ago. Every day he seems to be doing something new to bring a smile to our faces. He laughs and is very active. We're starting to try to get him to roll over. He definately has my temper, as he shows when he gets hungry. We'll need to work on that as he gets older.

Work has been ridiculously busy the last month or so. This has not left much time for blogging. After coming home from a day spent in front of a computer, the last thing I feel like doing is more typing. Softball is still going. We've had more rainouts that actual games so far. Barring rain, we'll be playing four this week. At the rate things are going, it will be Thanksgiving until we're finished.

I wish just once that when a politician was asked a question, they would give a straight, no bullcrap answer. How refreshing that would be. The Congress we've had this past term has been completely worthless. Many of you are probably registered on the national 'do not call' list. Isn't it nice that political campaign calls are exempt from following the same rule as normal telemarketers? As far as doing actual work, they all appear to be to busy burying scandals they're involved in, propositioning congressional pages, or blaming the other party for all the country's ills. Meanwhile, Iraq still doesn't have a stable government, genocide continues unabated in Darfur and North Korea has nukes. Maybe they can address the baseball/steroids issue again next term. That's really pressing business. Bastards.

As for the World Series, Brad, I wish I could root for the Cardinals, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm not a big fan of Detroit, but they represent the AL Central. If they win it, that gives hope to all of us hopeless Indians fans. After all, they lost close to 120 games two years ago and look where they're at now. One day, Cleveland fans will have something to be excited about...maybe. I do hope that it goes to seven games though. That means the gap between the end of this baseball season and the start of next year is just that much shorter.
