my little doodle pad thingy wont erase...i keep erasing it and the same virginia stuff keeps coming back. So..if you read that...substitute Utah state instead of Virginia. of course, the results will probably be the same.

Oh, and is anybody going to show some gumption and actually talk to the person? or do you have actually do something to warrant suspension for you to be popular? And i certainly hope that the Oath everyone took to work with people in office was taken..i mean, i thought I remembered hearing people recite it...sure as hell havent seen people following it. Have a problem with people, ya gotta go talk to them. if you dont go talk to them, then ya cant be acting as though you are better than them.

does anybody....

ANYBODY?...ever stop and stand up and ask?" why do we spend so much damn time dividing ourselves? "

sigh...

..my kids are cool. I have been blessed to have two seemingly healthy normal children..a boy and girl. but....

but... I think the terrible 2's might have arrived a year late. Constant noise, getting into EVERYTHING, running around screaming at each other, the "I CAN'T WANNA" response to any direction given. Its starting to get annoying, to say the least. But I cant really complain too much. It is indeed a blessing to have 2 children. And they do seem to be advancing normally.

but.... they sure can whine.

Come on now...

...a shooting at the Freaking STATE FAIR? what next? by the way, Braves pull out a nail-biter and get to game 5 tomorrow.

nothing can right a disaster

..of a sports weekend like an upset loss by the Gamecocks. I can hear Dixie playing right now.

well,

...i guess circling the wagons had its usual effect. destruction...offense has got to move the ball more. The defense is playing well, but cant be on the field all the game. Og well... at least the Braves pulled it out last night. our drunk driving shortstop put one out in the 11th....

a long day

today has been a strenuous long day.

Braves have salvaged a tie a the moment, but gopher ball Aphonseca is now pitching.... the outlook is NEVER good when he is pitching. NEVER.

Tiger kick-off momentarily in Va. night games there are never good...the drunk frat guys were always a problem.

...OK...Braves pull it out. Now, lets ee how Whitehurst perfoms tonight.

Rylee has discovered pizza

Ian...after pizza, and after haircut...the hair is itching him....

hair cut time....

Ian has decided that he now likes Pizza. Suddenly..out of the blue...pizza is now good.

Grand Central Station... oh the humanity.

Brown looking over menu at a cafe in Manhattan

Jessica and Brown in "the Village"

The Chair dance thingy, part 1. Not sure what the proper Jewish name for this is. But it looked pretty fun. Jessica, Jason, the mothers fathers all got a turn.

Jessica doing her chair dance...its a Jewish Thang

Back to Grand central where we caught the express train back to White Plains.... JUST IN TIME to catch the shuttle to the wedding site. Wedding was pretty slick, and there was an abundance of beverage and food. More than i have EVER seen at a wedding. It was a grand celebration, to say the least. botlted wedding just after the desert course was served and got to sleep by 1:00am...woke up on Sunday morn around 7:30, go tpacked and car loaded, met Jessica and Jason at their morning brunch, then bolted White Plains around 9:20am...arrived back in Easley by 10:10pm
