So I got to go to the Green Mill tonight. It is an awesome place. A little small, but that just adds to it’s character. Great live jazz, though. I will definitely be going back.

Some of you may find this rather offensive. If you’re scared, don’t click. It has offensive language. You’ve been fully warned. I am not responsible for the content in the next link, however….it’s pretty funny if you can appreciate sick humor such as this. I am better than your kids - If you work in an office with lots of people, chances are that you work with a person who hangs pictures up that their kids have drawn. The pictures are always of some stupid flower or a tree with wheels. These pictures suck; I could draw pictures much better. In fact, I can spell, do math and run faster than your kids. So being that my skills are obviously superior to those of children, I’ve taken the liberty to judge art work done by other kids on the internet. I’ll be assigning a grade A through F for each piece ...

I stumbled over the picture below today (which you can click on for a bigger version) and it made me pause for a moment. For approximately the past ten years, schools have continually reduced the book selection that is available in school. A certain gentlemen whom you may know always compared the US requirement to register all gun purchases to pre-WWII Nazi Germany where they, similarily, required all citizens to register their guns and then promptly took them away. If I recall, there were also spates of book burning. Now compare this to the restriction of books in American schools. Now I’m not saying that America is burning books, but just think for a second of the path that we are headed down. Gun registration, restriction of what children are given to read in school - but really, how many parents are going to introduce their children to books that the school doesn’t allow? Only those few rebels. ...

Despite the long day I had today, many things happened to make me realize how good life is. the day consisted of a good 12 hours of straight work - so much so that my bum hurts tonight from sitting down so long. But in the end, I won some Blackhawk tics for this weekend and got a couple good phone calls. And ultimately, I felt as if I had accomplished a fairly good deal at work, which is what I set out to do this morning. Booyah! ...

In other news, somewhat related to my previous post, Delta is testing a new airport security plan. Of course, what better way to do it than create a National database?! The system, ordered by Congress after the Sept. 11 attacks, will gather much more information on passengers than previously.The nationwide computer system, which will check such things as credit reports and bank account activity and compare passenger names with those on government watch lists. Under the system, airlines will ask fliers more information than they do now: full name, address, phone number and date of birth. ...

Wow, cool! I’m number five on Google for the search: venice pics. Not bad!

I ended up playing keeper at tonight’s (indoor) game as our normal keepers couldn’t make it. It wasn’t too bad - I haven’t played since high school, but I was able to keep at least a few out. ;) Time for bed.

Apparently, some report recent snuck into Los Alamos National Laboratory. So much for that Homeland “Security”.
