Blogger Ennui

Father, my last blog was a few days ago. I resolve to post more often in the future. (Can you tell I was raised Catholic?)

I guess nothing monumental has been going on. Work has been very crazy. KU's win was a GREAT thing for the state of Kansas, but as I've lamented in the past, it's a pain to deal with something that big when you're in the newspaper business. Our sports folks have been doing a great job, and we will be having a special commemorative KU section in this Sunday's paper. Along with that, we've been selling T-shirts and posters since Tuesday at noon. Needless to say, it's been a madhouse! I heard tonight that Bill Self has agreed to a long-term KU contract. YIPPEE!

I'm taking a much-needed day of vacation tomorrow. I plan on sleeping in a bit, but other than that I want to RELAX! Corby and I have reservations for SUMO tomorrow night. He's never been there, and I was so impressed when I went there about a month ago that I definitely wanted to go back. Since tomorrow is payday - we're gonna spend some of that hard-earned money!
I am currently reading Dead Time by Stephen White. He's one of my favorite authors. I'm about a third of the way through, and it looks like another winner!

Current music? Some CD's I just picked up: The Very Best of Jackson Browne, The Very Best of Crowded House, One Republic (new & great!), Don Henley-Building the Perfect Beast, Crosby Stills Nash & Young-Looking Forward, Grand Funk Railroad's Greatest Hits, and America-The Definitive Pop Collection. I love it when my record club has a great sale!

And a quote since it's been awhile:
"It's a special bond that spans the years
through laughter, worry, smiles and tears,
a sense of trust that can't be broken,
a depth of love sometimes unspoken,
a lifelong friendship built on sharing,
hugs and kisses, warmth and caring,
parent and child, their hears as one -
a link that can never be undone."

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
