Trying to figure out a good excuse not to go cosmic bowling with my sister, cousin and their kids.

Me? Antisocial? Naah. I just dislike bowling, especially in the dark with 3 girls under the age of 8 while listening to the latest in small town new country hits.

Back to work tomarrow.

AHHHH-fall. I love it. The trees have started to turn here. The wooly worms are wooly-ing around en masse. Doing what could be the last mow of the season today. Drug all my winter stuff out.

Doing situps again. Forgot how much fun that was.

Got my copy of Battlestar Galactica 2.5, so I'll be all caught up and ready when it starts back up...

Things may be looking up for me. I am cautiously opt-, hell, truth be told, I'm stoked!

Everybody Knows by Concrete Blonde

Original version by Mr. Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost

Everybody knows that the boat is sinking

Oh, I wish I were a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

Been a while. I've got a few less friends than I had.

Everyone needs to check out Golgo Bordello's album Gypsy Punks. And then take a nap. You'll understand after you hear tracks 1,3, and 10. Damn.

Got some sun today by the pool.

What do you think about the new planets? History in the making or semantics?

Caught Wierd Science on TV tonight, boy does that bring back memories. And by the way, yet another example...

Just discovered Gogol Bordello. What a band! Whew.

If there are any fans out there, please somebody send me some suggestions on a good first album to listen to. I know almost zero about them, other than they are the coolest.

Also heard a Ukrainian band, I think they were Ukrainian, Stereoliza, they weren't bad either. Rap with banjo.

Neat stuff.

The days are getting shorter. Ergo, the nights are getting longer.

Good things about that, and bad.

Today I am both my brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

Lost boy, 12, Autistic, ADHD, Bipolar, wandered off.

Some times there are just moments of clarity in this field, when nobody's Daddy is going to jail, when nobody threatens to kill any members of your family or a day when some bad parent doesn't use your uniform to scare the hell out...
