Today was an eventful day, and deserves a long involved post. It will take a bit of time to set the correct tone.
So on to more trivial things.
Baseball season: All I can say is I hope things turn around for the Tigers. 1 game out of 4? Ouch! The Cubs are doing better, so that is something. But there are a few things more important than the scores of games and who is in first place. jamiahsh puts the whole thing in perspective. I don’t think there is much I can add.
Friends: It is good to have them. They help in many ways. Sometimes they don’t realize how much they do help. But I guess sometimes I don’t realize how much I help them. It goes both ways doesn’t it?
News: Pirates should only be discussed in Baseball terms, movies and plays. Hearing about pirates attacking merchant ships and having world governments bargaining with them is not right. That type of ‘handling’ of the situation only gives them reason to keep doing what they are doing. So I guess crime pays. Something isn’t right here, but then life is not fair is it?
Movies: Soon the summer block buster season starts. I’m looking forward to seeing a few good ones.
News: I don’t think it’s going to be a very long stand off. These pirates that have taken the captain of the ship hostage are sitting ducks and are surrounded. It’s only a matter of time before they run out of food and water. That captain is a hero for surrendering himself to save his crew. I think I read that the crew fought back with no weapons? Wow…
Friends: Gotta love em. Funny how you don’t think about the things you do for your friends, because it’s just what you do. But then again, that’s what friends are for, right? I would be lost without them!!!
Movies: I can’t believe I’m actually going to say this, but I’m kind of looking forward to seeing the new Star Trek….(please don’t tell my friends…) The one I’m REALLY excited about is Angels and Demons. I thoroughly enjoyed the Davinci Code and look forward to the next installment. Isn’t it a prequel???
As you know, I too have a long post to write… now to only find the time…
I was a pirate once upon a time… The Amiga computer was infamous for the level of software piracy going on, and being a broke, stupid teenager I joined right in. These days I use a lot of freeware and whatever I can get cheap.
What must be going on in Somalia to have their people resort to old-time piracy is definitely prayer-worthy.
Lacking an Easter post (how could you?? Don’t you know your blog is more important than family? 😛 ) I will just say here:
Happy Easter!

No, there wasn’t time for an Easter Post this year. Hope you had a good one.
You mean a short post followed by no posts?
Lol! I was thinking the same thing…… 😉
I haven’t had time to finish the long post… Sorry
