I’m up early and writing in honor of NanoWrimo and in anticipation of a busy day where I need to get to the words early and often, knowing I won’t have a lot of time later. I want to start by talking about the debacle of the NY teams. Everybody lost. I say this not even knowing if the Knicks played but assuming if they did they lost. Well, not everyone lost. Buffalo beat the Islanders, but in that situation someone had to win. More importantly, the Jets were handled by what most assumed to be an inferior Raiders team. The Giants got jobbed by the refs at the end of the game, leading to a 50 yd field goal to cap a 13 TD contest. I mean, wow. Oh, and don’t get me started about the Mets.
I’m not going to spend the entire ten talking sports. That’ll get me angry and have the wrong effect on my psyche. Today and tomorrow is the event I spent yesterday’s post complaining about. I past the complaints and the disappointment and in that very me mode of trying to make the lemonade out of whatever lemons might be laying around. In truth I think things are going to wind up going well. What the students lack in props and polish they more than make up for in intensity and scene preparedness.
Now in terms of local earth news, I experienced my first earthquake last night. Some reports say 4.1 while others say 5.2. I say what the heck? Earthquakes were never supposed to be a situation in AZ. Yet here we are. This situation, like this series of blogs, is to be continued.
