18-2 baby!
The JV team won big tonight 18-2! My big ol' handsome son was the sole Center for the team
(made long snaps, too - for punts and extra points!). There were only two punt snaps at the beginning of the game which were high, the rest were sheer perfection.
Our hearts were full in our
chests.
Missin' you like crazy 'bout now, Grandpa Bud!

bring on the ark
We have been getting tons of rain lately.
I mean tons! Like once recently we got 5 inches of precipitation in a single afternoon!
Dass a lotta rain.
There is a definite upside to this many thunderstorms. But it's not the flooded streets, wet basements, leaky cars, lost umbrellas, or tree limbs from 100 year old Live Oaks that fall into the roads.
It's the incredibly awesome rainbows,
(sometimes doubles!)
and the bright, excited faces of kids who think they are lucky enough to see them.
grab the shakers and the cowbell, honey!
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night.... will prevent me from watching #2 tomorrow night in his role as starting center for the JV football game against. I will also pray for the safety of all the young men on the field... and for our guys to play at least 7 points better than the other guys.

sick. just sick.
King just looked up from the newspaper and told me that the president of Planned Parenthood, someone from NARAL, and Sandra Fluke are all speaking at the DNC among others.
So now we have officially delineated lines. Republicans are Pro-Life. Democrats are not. With the speakers they have lined up this year, they have, once and for all, defined themselves. They are now the Party of Those Who Are OK With Killing Babies.
DNC. Isn't that eerily close to D&C (one type of abortion method)?
Well, let's not lose sight of the fact that Obama voted for partial birth abortion THREE times during his short time as a Senator. Partial. Birth. Abortion. people. That means taking a viable baby, who could survive outside of the womb, and .... well, you probably already know "how" they are performed. If not, please, for the love of God, look it up.
C'mon America, wake up! Please give more love to human babies than you do to the rescued pit bulls!
Gosh, I know they are proud of that.

my thoughts on the rnc
I must say how impressed I am at the job each of the speakers did at the Republican National Convention. It is nice to know that there are still many strong folks fighting for life, less government, and bringing the National Debt to a manageable level. The adage "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime" is truly the attitude of the Republican Party. Not so with the other side.
they are quite willing to have people dependent on them for their "daily fish."
My favorites: Condi Rice, Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, Susana Martinez, and, of course, each of the Romneys. Clint Eastwood was edgy, but he was hilarious. I hope it rang out with other Americans when he said "We own America, and politicians are employees of ours." I really wanted to hear Artur Davis, but somebody had to bathe my fifth-born that night! I think Chris Christie was good, and I like what he has done in New Jersey, but he did chat about himself quite a bit. Finally, I thought Marco Rubio was great, but his nervousness was a distraction.
I even came away from the event with a little crush on Ann Romney, who did a wonderful job giving us insight on the fact that her husband quietly gets things done, without tooting his own horn. Also, not only does she rock a classically-styled, vintage inspired wardrobe, she is beautiful and she has a remarkable patina from all that she has been through. She has a very approachable air about her. Not stuffy or conceited at all. She is going to make quite a wonderful First Lady.
I had a quick conversation with a friend who said she "likes Romney," but she just wished he wasn't so rich. What?!? I have no problem at all with the fact that his bank account is what it is. 'Cause you know what that means? It means that 1) he knows how to make money and keep it, and 2) he won't be trying to get his mitts (pun intended) on our hard-earned money.
So, King was wondering: after a powerful convention like we had last week, what in the world will the Dems say next week? I think I know...
1) blame Republicans for everything
2) falsify statistics and drown the viewers in a sea of numbers
3) write a fictional overview of the "successes" of their leader
4) remind America that their Fuhrer won a Nobel Peace Prize based solely on his "potential" to do something great
5) scare older Americans that Romney/Ryan will take away their benefits
We'll see, but I feel pretty certain I am right about this one.
ps- King, #1, #2, Grandma and I went to see 2016 last weekend. I was surprised at how objective it was. Seen it yet?

I can't say that about our current Commandant in Charge.
