Astros crush opponents in game 3

On the rainy fields of Whetstone this past Saturday, to standing room only (we forgot chairs), Astros won a game (by alot, but no one kept score - honest). Yay!

It's a new season - the big time. Frankie's in Pee Wee soccer. Playing full 10 minute quarters and practicing a full hour a week. We didn't think we could get a coach as good as the Amazing Coach Mary Ann, but we did. Her new coach is great with with motivating and watching over the kids. Even when her ponytail comes unraveled.

Tuckered out at the end of a long weekend

I knew Sally Beauty was cooperating with terrorists.

The case of Najibullah Zazi caught my attention. About 6 months ago I discovered a veritable warehouse of dangerous (in the wrong hands) chemicals. These reagents are stored, improperly, at Sally Beauty. The nearest one is in Graceland. There are actually GALLON JUGS of acetone lining their shelves. Maybe enough to cause the decimation of about 1/4 of Graceland shopping center (a wild approximation) if one of those jugs found a source of ignition. They also have enough hydrogen peroxide to make everyone in Columbus look like an 80's hair band member.

I was giddy with excitement when I found this resource and immediately signed up; I'm a Sally Beauty VIP member (card and all). I use these materials when developing lessons for the kiddies. The hydrogen peroxide is pretty cool to use as a substrate for enzymes present in fruits and veggies.

I feel bad now because I never forgot that image of acetone bottles on those shelves. 1 gallon of acetone could result in an ignited cloud of 1400 Liters. That's scary. The explosion from this would be amazing. Because of this news coverage, I'm guessing these bottles disappear. If they don't, I'll be thinking of some way to make it happen.

Call out the National Guard, quick, we need a hankie.

I'm taking a vacation day today. If you Google swine flu pandemic and locusts you'll realize we're probably in the early days of the big outbreak. Frankie, although we don't have instrumentation sensitive enough to detect it, has a fever and had to go home. I took the ailing child skipping through the supermarket on the way home to get supplies. Cheese, tater tots, etc. Don't let this happen to you!! Run out and get your flu shot for the love of God man!.

Warning This flu makes children giggle. Don't be deceived, it's brutal.

If Fuzz continues to grow as fast as he has in the past week, he's on track to be about 63.5 lbs by 2013.

If Walmart and McDonald's had a baby, its name would be Sodexo. And then they'd put it in a cardboard box and place it in the trash.

Sodexo has apparently won the contract for the distribution of bland concoctions of fat for our children in Columbus City Schools. Frankie has gone from wanting the school lunch 4-5 times a month to about 2 times a month. Given the bland palate that infests nearly every 2-7 year old, even Sodexo should be embarrassed. Yet, they keep cranking out deadly bits of sweetened beef, sweetened sauces, sweetened and cured fruit in sweet sauce, sweetened tomato sauce on sweetened bread with wax on it, etc. I didn't even see my favorite school lunch food on the menu this month; they murdered the tater tot. Columbus City Schools have been good to us, we're grateful. Sodexo is just the contractor who undoubtedly lined some pockets to get the job. It's a shame.

We're keeping score this year. She still had fun.

Yesterday the Mega Millions had climbed way past 28 million. Not one to fuss with anything below 14 million, I thought I'd throw my buck in. I almost never check the ticket. I wait for a headline like the title of this post to appear ... and then I check.

Seems we have a new guest for the next 13 years. He's up to 460 grams.

The iWorld is coming to its knees, all hail

A picture of a cat on a blog, pretty original, eh?

379 grams, and it's a boy (still struggling though), originally uploaded by Seligmans Dog.

New information. It's a he. I think his name is Fuzz. He's got a cold and his survival is not certain. We started monitoring his weight. He's 379 grams so far. He's also got the coolest ears.

This kitten better grow up to be a ratter.

Suze is nonplussed so far. Her name is either Rosie or Gertrude McFuzz.

Walking like a penguin at practice

No Tiny Tots for this kid ... big leagues now. Pee Wee. Frankie practices the entire hour now. I miss last year's coach and was a little worried our coach seemed to be too businesslike. That is, until he rewarded each who finished practice with a Blowpop.

I think the season will be fun.
