- It was pretty interesting that both prime time sporting events were both in St Louis last night, but I have a feeling most of those at the Rams games would have rather been watching baseball.
- Man, David Ortiz is having one heck of a series at the plate, I think he’s 11-15.
- My father had me very late in life and was a longtime smoker, so he wasn’t in great health most of my life and I can’t recall doing anything athletic with him, even playing catch. Last night DaughterGeeding asked me to “coach” her to kick a soccer ball and play catch and not only did I jump at the opportunity, I cherished every second of it.
- BoyGeeding walked in on me peeing (in the toilet this time) and when I finished he asked me to do more. I told him there is no more, and then he just started to cry and whine. A lot of times he’ll walk in on me working out and when I finish a set or get off the elliptical he’ll also ask me to do more, and a lot of times despite being barely alive, I do it for him.
- The Obama Administration has done a terrible job at educating the public about ACA and healthcare.gov is an embarrassment, heck, even I think they should delay things up to a year.
- Rumor has it if you look at the healthcare.gov code it’s copied straight from an old GeoCities website.
- I had a lot of concerns that the Wall Street Journal would lose a lot of journalistic integrity when Rupert Murdoch’s New Corp acquired them. Well, now they have Suzanne Somers as a somewhat regular contributor labeling her an expert. Her latest article is title “The Affordable Care Act Is a Socialist Ponzi Scheme.” Too bad John Ritter isn’t alive to write a dissenting view.
- Vermont is designing nation’s first universal health-care system
- Highland Park Presbyterian Church will be moving from the PCUSA to a more conservative denomination, and I expect my church will do the same in the somewhat near future. I am bugged by the interim senior pastor’s quote of, “we are not walking away from our Presbyterian values; we are restoring them.” That just sounds like a passive or indirect way of saying that those who disagree with you have no values.
- Organized religion drives me batty sometimes. That being said, in an effort to better understand and appreciate different views and theology, I can see myself switching to another denomination every five years or so, but that’s harder now with family. We did visit our local Methodist church a few weeks ago, and that was only because DaughterGeeding attends preschool there and they had a special event on a Sunday for her class, but it did leave an impression on me. But to be honest, I can also see myself leaving organized relgion all together.

- What’s so great about the Old MacDonald GEICO commercial is that the audience knows he’s going to misspell the word with e-i-e-i-o, but it’s his dagnabbit that puts it over the top.
