Something I've missed...

I've missed the sweet, sweet sound of the Vuvuzela. I doubt that's a widely held opinion but whatever, it's mine. It just reminds of watching the World Cup and the weather being warm. I think most reasonable people would agree that those two things are pretty good.

I'm watching South Africa - USA delayed right now. I spent too much time outside today in the yard to catch it live. 8617 had to say good bye to the mums in the front of the house this afternoon. I think that's the first time I've had to do that. I should have just had Rocky dig them up if he wasn't so focused on making sure that the couch doesn't fly away. He's doing a really good job by always laying on it. Now way that thing floats on his watch.

I also got rid of the remaining stump in my neighbors yard that was getting on my nerves. I just couldn't stand looking at it anymore. It was a "gots to go" situation.

Yesterday I missed the FedEx guy with my new phone. Today I did not. Now I need to figure out how to backup my contacts. There's no chance I re enter everybody's number into my new phone. Of course I'm no expert but I think my phone's problem is the battery and not the actual phone. I smell another trip to the Verizon store in my future. I need it start working like a real phone, ie one that holds a charge longer than 3 hours at a time. I also need to be the Mayor of my basement before eRic.

Let's see what else? Oh right I cleaned out the back of my truck and decided that some of my baseball hats were kind of dirty. And by dirty I, of course, mean gross. My USA Soccer hat and DC United hat turned out great. A similar fate was not waiting for my, at least 10 years old, Georgetown hat. I guess 2 out of 3 ain't that bad but I'm not that thrilled with how it looks. Maybe I'll just bury it in the backyard or something.

So I decided to run around Accotink this afternoon in a race against the Sun going down. Everything was going well until I got to the bottom of the dam. I could have used a row boat to get across the path at that point. Next time I'm going to just run back the way I came instead of through the water. Running with soaked shoes and socks isn't as rad as it sounds.

So during meditation today, raking leaves (in the wind no less), I realized something that most people have probably known for a long time - I need full time job ASAP. The amount of free time I have is causing me to go crazy and it's going to start ruining stuff if I'm not careful.

A recap of what's going on with the Hoyas will be out later tonight for the dozens of people that care :)
