But this picture has been on their frontpage all morning, and now I am actively avoiding it..... granted, this is legitimate news, but do they have to lead off their site with it? http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photo_StoryLevel/080603/080603-bike-accident-hmed-330a.grid-4x2.jpg Non sequitur

In most sports, the parents must pay themselves to see their children compete, and a trip for two could cost as much as $25,000. The parents of one of the U.S. boxers are, literally, holding bake sales (well, ok, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/05/03/ST2008050301087.html" rel="nofollow">taking orders for cakes</a>) to raise the money to travel to see their son. Seems like we should be able to do better than that. Another way in which American Olympians don’t get as much support as they might is in travel expenses for their families.

And he "Babe Ruth'd it" ...called his shot. I thought Hudler was gonna score, then I thought home-boy Rafalski was gonna do it...Holmstrom nearly got one in...when Lidstrom banged that puck off the boards and it came out in front of the goal I thought Kris Draper might be there...then it's over and the Cup goes back to Pittsburgh for another game. I am not gonna hang the L on Hudler for the last power play...he didn't intentionally face-slash that Penguin. Goddammitt. And he “Babe Ruth’d it” …called his shot.

I somehow missed whitebeard's first comment about the web. Hope you are feeling okay, man. That sounds unpleasant. Okay, forget what I was asking joody.

They even have various sizes of upside-down miniature Christmas trees that are poked through the narrow opening to widen it. To add to the fun, my throat has a hard time swallowing because it's allergic to some unknown food, probably red meat, which causes frequent choking when eating. I always try to sit next to someone big enough to administer the Heimlich maneuver on me. I also try to avoid red meat so I don't choke in the first place.

Then, the young folks and I went to the movies at Peru (Iron Man - which wasn't so bad! 'Course, it helps if you like Gwyneth Paltrow) - and on the way back, we made a point of driving past Cole Porter's childhood home. A beautiful place, but it was closed (I think the kids were happy about that). And today, it was off to Grand Rapids (business trip); a beautiful sunrise on the way there, and a beautiful sunset on the way back. PS - China has had a horrendous road to the Olympics, yes? If they wanna win medals, I say, more power to 'em I think the self portrait with the stylized palette really captures something; the image has a jaunty texture, while the visage itself suggests something more substantive (which mirrors nn.c almost perfectly)
