We’ve got a pretty sick GirlGeeding in the house which resulted in a trip to the doctor. At one point she was going to get some IV’s but thankfully some of the anti-nausea meds started to kick in as well as a fever reducer. As a parent, your heart really goes out to child when they are hurting, it’s a interesting feeling of pain/hope/helplessness I haven’t experienced before.
Our pediatrician was nice enough to call a little before 10:00 PM just to check up on GirlGeeding.
I’ve never tried inline skate but I have good memories of the four-wheeled skate at the roller rink. I liked that feeling of taking the skates off and still feeling like you were moving. The last time I tried to skate was back in college, and it’s not like riding a bike, and I think that was the first time I realized that falling down as an adult hurts more than when I was a child.
I should sports headlines about the Rangers would start off with TX Rangers or NY Rangers.
Someone on the radio was talking about using the vertical hold on an old television. Man, that brought back some memories.
The first line in this article stood out: A beard-wearing woman was attacked as she crucified Jesus.
A lot of people say “If you don’t mind my asking …” but I’ve always said “If you don’t mind me asking …”
I think those Madame Tussauds and Ripley was figures don’t resemble their subjects very well and don’t look very lifelike.
SI.com has the Shaq jersey retirement ceremony video on their website. That’s the first time I can remember seeing such a thing in its entirety on a website. There have been many Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor ceremonies and other local team jersey retirements I would have loved to watch in their entirety but they have never been broadcast or uploaded. I hope to see SI continue this trend.
While watching ‘The Americans’ I noticed I had the same Star Wars bed sheets as the boy in the show. Our family also had the same Buick, except it was white with green forest interior. My folks always gave me a hard time about that car. They got it shortly after my birth and said I peed in the back right when they got it.
I was a bit surprised at the death in last night’s show. If I remember correctly, that character, early in the series, questioned if there were KGB agents blended into American society.
I had another friend ask me my thoughts on where Judas Iscariot is spending eternity. He said most would justifiably think the betrayer of Jesus would be in Hell. However, he reasoned that Jesus needed and wanted him to do the betrayal, that Judas was created or chosen to help fulfill prophesy, or put another way, to help God’s plan be fulfilled He went on to say it was hard for him to reason God choosing someone to help him fulfill prophesy only to condemn him to Hell.
When it comes to theological or biblical ‘arguments’ I use to feel I had to pick a side and justify my answer, now I’m just happy seeing both sides of an issue, and for the most part, not choosing.
Any doubt that Yu Darvish gets the opening day start next year?
I tried to be a good friend and text my closest friends who love the Rangers just to make sure their eyes were on the game for the ninth inning.
I can’t imagine the pressure a fielder must have when a ball comes their way in the ninth inning of a perfect game, not that the last hit was anyone’s fault.
I think Yu was teary-eyed coming off the field after his teammates and Wash talked to him.
One of my close friends was in a Houston airport bar lounge watching the game in the ninth when his flight started to board. He felt like his leaving the bar to board his flight jinxed Yu.
Those Rangers know how to break hearts with one out to go in the ninth. Just look at last night and that game six in St Louis a few seasons ago.
I think I prefer last night’s sideline reporter better than Emily Jones.
Yu has a bit of a Nolan Ryan appeal to him, that whenever he takes the mound you feel like you need to watch because something special could happen.
Twitter makes events like last night pretty cool, it’s like being in one large living room with your friends, family, and enemies.
Wise County may have their infamous speedo-wearing-lawn-mowing-man, but my neighborhood has a 325 pound NFL lineman that always mows his lawn shirtless.
I thought there was some good and civil theological discussion in yesterday’s Bag of Randomness. One thing I appreciate about most of my commenters, for the most part, are very respectful to one another.
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift and that’s why they call it the present.”
I bought WifeGeeding a mountain bike a few weeks ago and yesterday we were finally able to take it for a spin with the warm weather. Actually, it was an all out Geeding bike ride. BoyGeeding rode with his mama and GirlGeeding rode with her daddy, all thanks to our WeeRides. We made a pit stop to feed some ducks and I think that’s a memory that will stick with me for a lifetime.
When I got home I mowed the backyard and then transplanted a medium side bush from one side of the yard to the other. I hear the warm weather isn’t going to last long, but I’m trying to milk it for all it’s worth. Also, working behind a desk all day makes you want to get outside.
If ‘Dallas’ makes it another season I’m certain the newly remodeled First Baptist Dallas will make an appearance. That’s not a slam, but it as well as Clyde Warren Park are new high profile landmarks.
Who pays for medical coverage for college athletes, even if they get something like strep throat? I started to wonder about that after seeing that broken leg sustained by Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware. Even though he may not be a star player on the team he does help bring in a ton of income and recognition to that university. I get the enthusiasm for college athletics but sometimes I question how we as a society can stomach how the NCAA and universities prostitute student athletes. I get that they have scholarships, but not having any income has to be challenging.
The Masters is coming up and it interests me none.
A Spanish farmer discovered an unusual 220 pound iron rock in his field back in 1980 and decided to used it as a ham press to smash meat for the next 30 or so years. He has recently discovered that it’s a meteorite worth about $5 million. On one hand, he’s got to be happy he’s a millionaire, on the other, he’s got to be ticked he could have retired 30 years ago.
Some people put on socks before they put on their pants, other’s do the complete opposite. I’m about a 50/50 guy.
