Do you know Jackson?

The other day Jackson called me.

Here is the conversation:

J:I'm going to sign a contract to play ball in Georgia for the summer.

Me: Whoa, tell me about it. What does it cost? Where in Georgia?

J: I don't know. I don't know.

Me: Where will you stay? Who pays for travel?

J: I think we stay with families, and I don't know.

Me: Before you do this let me check on it, we need to know about the level of instuction, expenses, where do you play, a lot of stuff.

J: OK but I want to send this in before 2

I look at my watch and it is 12:30.

Now all of you people look at the pictures of me before I had children and with a straight face ask why I have changed so much.

The question is, what to write about.......

Some are bothered that I don't write more often.

I often think of things to write about, but I am conflicted. Do I always rant about things or should I have something uplifting to say?

Topics that have come to mind are:

What good does it do to cut off your leg if it keeps walking up to you?

How the hell do this many stupid people keep figuring out how to have babies?

Why did I end up being the primary caretaker of a dog that I didn't want?

We all text message with LOL, IMO, and other shortcuts. The one that I wish I could send to the world is LMTFA.

If I didn't want the dog, why does she want me?

I don't know. If someone out there really wants me to write then give me a suggestion. I can do something on each of the above but I hate to be such a bitch.

Adam did it with no committee

The Bible says that Adam named all of the animals. Must have taken a little time but he did have God's help. I think God brought all the animals to Adam.

There could have been some discussion but no long debates or the process would still be going on. So clearly it was an efficient system but then we have to remember that Adam did not have a sister or cousins, so there was no volunteer naming committee.

You would think that Adam had it lucky, but remember that the pressure must have been too great because after that he felt like he had to have an apple

Boy am I stupid

Today I heard that the Obama administration had announced that any car maker that accepted a bailout would be prevented from participating in NASCAR.

After some thought and my redneck urge to rebel, I figured that this was the first sane thing I had heard come out of Washington since the change of power.

If a car maker can not show a profit then they don't need to be dumping millions on a sport that does not bring in many millions. And I thought that they don't need to advertise on TV if that is not shown to bring in the bucks.

Further I felt that if private planes, entertainment, CEO salaries, and golf does not bring in profits, then these should not be tax deductible.

Late this afternoon my hopes were shattered, it was all a April Fools hoax. Nothing smart is coming out of Washington.
