Uncle Daniel is visiting us tomorrow. He is driving up the california coast with Lindee (spelling?). Hopefully he wont get lost and somehow drive to Hawaii.

Say Never-ending terror, three times fast.

Ok, check this out.

Bush says the War on terror can never be won.

“I don’t think you can win it,” the president said, when asked if the war on terrorism can be won. “But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.”

It got me thinking about what does WAR mean?

Here are the dictionary results:

According to the MSNBC Article alot of people are protesting in NYC. At first it said “tens of thousands of people”. Then it said “over 100,000 people”. Then this paragraph:

Police gave no official crowd estimate for the main march, though one law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, put the crowd at 120,000; organizers claimed it was roughly 400,000.

Could someone people count the people so I know how many people are in NYC protesting? It would help me alot. Thanks.

Ok, this is great. Acording to abcnews, the note. Bush said,

“Five twenty-sevens — I think these ought to be outlawed. … I think they should have been outlawed a year ago. We have billionaires writing checks, large checks, to influence the outcome of the election.”

Can you believe that? Rich people! Influencing elections! And Bush is shocked and surprised!

You gotta love this guy. He will say anything!

Only 6 weeks left till our house in Hercules is ready. They put the walls up. We even saw the marble slab that will be our countertop. Isnt this exciting?! Im pumped up to move. Hopefully our “options” wont look like Walt Disney chose the decor.

I never realized this, but you can put more than one class into an html element.

Example:
<style>
     .red {color:red;}
     .padded { padding: 10px;}
     .backed {background:yellow;}
     .verdana {font: 14px verdana;}
</style>
<span class=”red backed padded verdana”>New CSS Trick!</span>

CSS is so cool. I love it. I want to marry it. Except Im already married. Love you honey! heh.

The Olympic motto is Higher, Faster, Stronger. This to me seems pretty straight-forward. Who can run the fastest, swim the fastest, jump the highest, lift the most, etc etc. So why are there all kinds of athletics that are based on aesthetic judgment. Like synchronized swimming, gymnastics, figure skating, platform diving and freestyle skiing. These are not sports where someone “wins” in the same way someone wins a race. Empirical evidence is critical to the Olympic spirit. Someone has the be Higher, Faster or Stronger. I think all of these non-empirical sports should be removed from the games.

Did everyone hear about the controversy with Hamm? They are Actually considering TWO gold medals! What is that? This is just silly.

Booooooooooooooooo!

I’m watching the Olympics. Two quick thoughts:
1) What’s up with Gayle Devers nails? They are like 4 inches long each. How can she run with them? Don’t they cause wind resistence? Why do swimmers put on their caps to reduce resistance, but runners don’t care?

2) Discus. Man, what a non-sport this thing is. These guys look so uninspired. A guy I just watched injured himself. How do you injure yourself throwing a discuss?? He didnt even injure his arm, he injured his leg. What is this?

I once tried to throw a shotput. I picked up the lightest class of shotput and put it to my neck. One and a two and a one two three, UUUGGHGHHHHNNHHH!!! I opened my eyes and saw the shot put about 3 feet in from of me. Now, Im not strong or anything, but those things are HEAVY!

Katie was asking me for a cute story about Ethan for his preschool. I dug this one up from a car drive a few years ago.

Glen: God Damn it!
Ethan: What did you say, daddy?!
Glen: Darn it, darn it! I said Darn it!
Ethan: Is God Damn it Allowed? Is God Damn It allowed?
Glen: No, it is not allowed.
Ethan: Did you say, God Damn it, daddy?
Glen: I did, but it was an accident. Im sorry, Its not allowed. I wont say it again.
Ethan: Is God Damn It allowed?
Glen: No, its not allowed. Im sorry.
Ethan: You said, God Damn It daddy.
Glen: I know, I wont say it again, Im sorry. I promise I wont say it again.
Ethan: Can Mommy say God Damn It?
Glen: No, mommy wont say it either.
Ethan: Can I say God Damn It?
Glen: No, you cant say it either.
Ethan: And Jared has no teeth?
Glen: Umm. Thats right, Jared has no teeth.
Ethan: Ok daddy.

I had this idea for a cool t-shirt for Kerry supporters. I need to get a photo of George W. Bush naked and then superimpose a shaved vagina on his private areas. The slogan would read:

I hope this doesn’t get me into trouble with “the man“.

By the way, I just convinced my mom to read this blog. (Much tougher than you might think.) I hope this doesn’t scare her away.
