September 20th

Well..up late last night..got sucked in by a running of “Leaving Las Vegas” that didn’t start until after 11…I remembered it as a better movie from the last time I saw it but I think the context of my life was different then and may have led to identifying with it more in the past. Had a weird SF yesterday…was just out of sorts and got in an argument watching the Lions game….I argued that Michael Vick’s resurrection from dog-torturing felon to hero on the football field was just not right; that he shouldn’t have gotten another chance to make millions and go back to the pampered, privileged life that athletes live…the problem was that that my vehemence was out of character…I do feel that people can and should re-take their place in society when they have paid what the society has said is their debt…that they shouldn’t have to wear the scarlet A forever. Oh, well…another failing in the large group of them that make up my life.

On a lighter note…not much to do today…yay, I’ll bet you didn’t think I’d say that today…have to get groceries and take the bike tire back to have it fixed again…and maybe out with G later but who knows…I did get a post out earlier so look down to the next one…I may even have a couple more later in the day…just saw that the Washington Post has a contest for their next great pundit and I have to go back through the 350 of so posts that I have so far to find the right one to submit…no hope whatsoever of being chosen but it will give me something to do…more later…
