Phillies Win Again!

Well, the Phillies have done it again! They clinched their fifth National League Eastern Division title in a row and they did it the fastest they've ever done it. They're also only two wins away from a 100 win season. Well done, guys!

Another Day

Another fun day of shopping for my mom. The usual weekly shopping trip along with the usual nonsense about the cable TV, complaining about nothing ever being good enough and all the other related BS. 'Nuff said.

On to other things. Have some ideas for designs for my Zazzle store, along with redoing some existing products and adding the existing designs to more products. It's supposed to be lousy this Saturday so maybe I'll get something done for a change. Maybe. Other than that, the Super Bowl is this Sunday. My local team isn't in it but it's still fun to watch, especially for the commercials. They do tend to be better than the usual drivel they put on to try and sell us stuff. With any luck, the game will be good, too.

It's Sunday

It's Sunday and it's actually sunny outside and there's a little bit of melting going on. It's supposed to get colder tomorrow. Figures, the day I plan to go to the Philadelphia Auto Show it's supposed to get colder. Happens every damn time. I think I've got the transmission glitch fixed. The fluid was a bit low so I got some and added some until it read full. Took it out this morning after a cold night and it seemed to be okay. I think the fluid was low enough that it needed to warm up so there was enough in the mechanism to work.  I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it from now on. Car's got a lot of miles on it so I guess it comes with the territory. Have to keep up with it until I can get a new one.

More crappy weather is on the way, too. Supposed to have sleet turning into rain on Tuesday and freezing rain to rain on Wednesday. I'm really getting tired of this shit. Can't wait for February to go away. It's been a long winter so far. Back's still bugging me a bit from shoveling that heavy snow. Have to keep doing the stretching and exercise. Spring training starts in about two weeks so that's one harbinger of spring and the Rolex 24 at Daytona is finishing today. That's the start, more or less, of the car racing season in the US. I'm really looking forward to warmer weather. Can't wait to start exercising outside again.

Olympics Are Over

The Olympics are over. Now what is there to watch? I know there's plenty of shows on but there's just something about the Olympics. Probably the once every four years makes it special. That and the fact that the athletes are competing for their country rather than a single team. Even if you don't win a medal, it's an achievement just to qualify to compete. Here's a hat's off to all the athletes who competed in Beijing. Well done, everybody.

Olympics

Been watching the Olympics the last two weeks. It's been interesting. Michael Phelps won eight gold medals and the winner of the women's marathon won by a one minute (more or less) margin. It's been fun.
