Lots of little things

Grrrbear reported today on his blog that they had received some snow. Yesterday we had also gotten some snow, and it really made a mess of things. No, the snow didn't cause many accidents, power outages, etc. It really made a mess because most of our streets, parking lots, and yards are just dirt or gravel. Yup, lots and lots of mud yesterday.

I have no idea what is going on with the cat. Last week I took him to the vet because I thought he had a urinary tract infection. I was right. So he's been on meds for the last week, and things were getting better. Then yesterday, he started acting odd again. This morning he puked 4 separate times. Funny thing about a cat puking, I can here it no matter where I am in the house.

It looks like I'm a Detroit Tigers Fan now. After the Twins got the boot from the post-season, I've decided to root for Detroit. Although I'm not opposed to Billy Beane winning (in fact, I would like to see his team do well, it might shut up all those pundits that say he can't win in the post season), I just like Detroit better. Personally, I'm rooting for a Mets/Tigers World Series. Its not that I'm a big Mets fan, its just that I don't like the Cardinals at all (plus, my mother is a Padres fan.)

The folks are showing up next week. It just so happens that all of us (folks, wife, me) are school employees (or retired school employees) and happen to be going to the MEA-MFT convention. It will give us an opportunity to hang out, and more importantly, stock up on Baby Gear. In fact, next Friday, the school where my wife and I work are going to hold a couples/baby shower for glacierbaby. Hopefully we snag some good loot.

Well, Halloween is around the corner. Last weekend I finished putting up a few more lights. We purchased a really cool set from Target the other day. I really like the purple/orange/green combinaton for most Halloween light sets.

I did purchase X-Men III: The Last Stand. Although entertaining, it was not nearly as good as the first 2 X-men movies. I thought they did a good job of casting Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Hank McKoy (The Beast), but I would have loved to have seen many more of the mutants. I'm also not a big fan of what they did to some of the more prominant X-men (like kill them!)

Only 300 pages or so until I finish Robin Hobb's last book in the Farseer Trilogy (Assassin's Quest.) So far, it is my favorite of the 3 books. Hopefully I can finish it before glacierbaby arrives!
