Who knew I could pick up wireless here at my son's piano lesson (which is at his teacher's house). As I listen to scales and blues, here are some random items:
• Our two year old has a bias toward the numbers 5, 6, and 7. He continually counts "1,2,3,4,8..." No convincing otherwise can undo this.
• I asked my boss for a $700 billion loan. She said no. On that front, isn't is a mathematical coincidence that all of the nation's bad debt adds up to exactly $700 billion? Seems like they just picked that number at random. I'd feel the number was more legit if it were something like $700 billion, 400 dollars and 28 cents.....
• Woo-hoo! Radio Shack still carries cleaner for VCR machines. A whole world of video tapes are waiting to be watched again as soon as I get home from the piano lesson. Family movie night on Friday: Back to the Future!
• I was proud of Josh at his first baseball game last Saturday. He's playing with older kids, which isn't easy. And they play real rules, now. He didn't get to play the full time as they have 13 players, and when he was at bat (as No. 11....all kids hit, but only 10 can take the field) he struck out (though he did finally get a walk). But at the end of the first game (it was a double header), he helped preserve the team's victory! He was out in Right Field, and the play was in the infield. The shortstop or second baseman threw the ball to first to get out the batter, but it was a bad throw. But Josh, being the eager player that he is, ran up to 1st after the batter hit the ball to back up the 1st baseman. Good he did, because Josh got the overthrow, and when the runner tried to advance to 2nd, Josh threw to 2nd to get the out. YEA! They ended up winning 6 to 4. I told him he made the best of his limited playing time and opportunities to field.
• I've said before that Sprite is the default drink. No one 'chooses' it, but you get it because there is no other good option. On a plane, for example, I have to get it because I don't want caffeine and there's nothing else. It's just never a first choice drink....you drink it because it's there.
Well, I think ketchup is the same way. I like every other condiment more than ketchup. Mustard (yellow, not dijon) is always my first choice for ANYTHING...or BBQ, or ranch. But I will take ketchup for fries and such if nothing else is offered.
That's it for tonight....nice to do blogging at piano, but hard to fully compose my thoughts, so forgive if this isn't coherent.

I enjoy reading your blog, Mark. A few things...
I thought the same thing about Back to the Future. I rented it, got all the family around and to my surprise, the number of swear words was a real shocker. I mean bad ones that start with an S and have four letters. Each time a swear word came out, my kids all stared at me. No more Back to the Future. Just thought I'd warn you. You may have been kidding (it's hard to tell with you sometimes) but just thought I'd mention it.
Secondly, I always choose Gingerale on the plane. I like the ginger twist and it's different than Sprite. Why don't airlines have rootbeer?

Amen to the swear words in Back to the Future. We watched it as a family the other night, and I was amazed at how much swearing was in it. (In fact, our youngest, 3, mimiced some of it to my dismay. I'm hoping he forgets quickly...)
I guess these days, it might qualify as a PG-13.
