more quick hits

so i haven't had something to write a whole post on, but here are some things that could be put together to make a whole post.

ok, so the red sox had their worst loss in postseason history, but i say the 19-8 loss last year was worse. they'll just shake this off and at least win two more. will they win it all? i don't think so. they're just limping through and falling apart. I said this at the beginning of the season and still think it. I don't think we'll have a real good shot at winning it all for a couple more years. by then, our farm system will have produced a couple studs. One has already made it, Jon Papelbon, and another few are on the way, i.e. Craig Hansen, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, and Hanley Ramirez. Although i'm not crazy about Ramirez. this off season will be interesting. Will Manny be back? Will Damon and Mueller resign? Will they even attempt to resign billy ball game? What will happen with foulke? Will they get a real second baseman or just patch it for a year until Pedroia is ready? one thing is for sure and I never thought I would say this, but last week i actually said to Leah, "i wish we had Pedro."



i think the most relaxing song in the world is 'Dust In the Wind' by Kansas. I have a few songs that i think are great 'chill songs', but this one takes the cake. Some others of mine are 'Where the Streets Have No Name' by U2, 'Long As I Can See the Light' by CCR, for some reason 'Universally Speaking' by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, 'Disarm' by Smashing Pumpkins, 'Epiphany' by Staind, and 'Sweet River Roll' by Waterdeep. what's your favorite 'chill song'?



Read the second book of the Narnia series, 'Prince Caspian' on Saturday. Great chapter where Lucy sees Aslan and says he's bigger. He tells her that she's just grown up more. He was the same size, its just that she had grown up and he appeared bigger now. I thought that was a good picture of God. As you grow up and mature He seems so much bigger, though He has not changed at all. I also liked the part where she realized she should have followed Aslan even if the others hadn't followed because he would have been with her and that was enough.



for 'Lost' fans, did you know Michael Keaton was originally casted as Jack and he was going to die in the first episode?

huh... that's what we do. except for the kids part. i was thinking about putting up a thing about Lost every Thursday to talk about it and ask what others think about whats going on. now that i know there is at least 1 one other person watching i think i'll do that.

You're going to laugh, but my "relaxation" (aka "chill") CD is an instrumental one that was composed as a tribute to ancient Egypt. I love it! I'd give you the name of it, but I loaned it to Shelby Sohmer for homeschooling about Ancient Egypt. I listened to it over and over going to and from Egypt (and while sitting on the ground for hours at Dulles, while waiting for JFK to clear the snow). I'll let you know the title when I get the CD back. It's pretty cool!
