Saturday's Situation

I tried about a hundred times to rotate this picture. It would show in the preview it was correct and then come out like this. Anyway, this is where I was last night. It was a two act play performed at the Pythian Home in Weatherford. It was a great time- maybe 50 people there. The rest of the world didn't know what it was missing. Pythian Home has been providing foster type care to children for over 100 years. Go ask for a tour. They love to do it and have a little museum upstairs.

• I cannot comprehend how anyone could waste one minute of their lives watching Jersey Shore. For me, it cannot even even work its way in using the train wreck effect. I would rather eat a dirt sandwich than watch that show.




• An American has been kidnapped in Pakistan. He was working for a development project in Lahore. His guards were tricked into opening the gates with promises of food supposedly to end the days fast during Ramadan. Crazy. It would be crazy to go there- crazier to trust ANYONE from the region.




• It rained all night- what a relief.




• Rainageddon.




• I generally do not like autobiographies of general officers- always self serving and who cares anyway? But, I do love war histories, even autobiographical ones if they establish context well.




• One of the better war books is A rumor Of War by Phillip Caputo about his experiences in Vietnam. It was made into a miniseries starring Brian Dennehy which is interesting, since he is a big fat liar about war time service in Vietnam.




• I Came home to my moms house once and went to the old library which was across the street from the fire hall. It was weird to see my name written in my little boy handwriting on the old style card in the front of that book.
