Family - just got back from taking the kids to Knoebels for a weekend jaunt. Ma helped pay for the rooms and tickets since unemployment is taking forever to process.......Went out for a ride with Ma and my baby girl to look for Perseids while we were up there - girlie and I did see one, but that was all. Took both older kids to Lancaster County the early am of the 12th, but cloud cover prevented us from seeing anything. We then did some fishing, but had no real luck.
Baseball - pending the outcome of tonites game, the Phillies magic number is (by my best count) 44. They could easily lock this up by mid-September.
Football - www.sackvick.net
Second chances and all that are fine. People who make a mistake ONCE get a second chance. Willfully killing dogs (even torturing his own family pets!) for over six years is over the line. He has a college degree, and is not owed a second chance at a multi-million dollar career in the NFL. I am sickened by the league allowing him to be re-instated, and my once beloved Eagles in signing Vick. I will not watch their games (GO STEELERS!), and will follow that with a boycott of all their sponsors - Pathmark, no more ACME. No Aquafina water - and so on. Maybe if the people who ultimately pay the bills get enough negative pressure, they can force a change in the all-powerful NFL. Probably not, but my dog and I will be able to sleep safe and content at night.
Be proactive.
