1 I remember a time in my life when I loved political conventions.
2 I didn't care which party was doing them; I just loved all the partying, confetti, and razzmatazz.
3 Now it just looks silly.
4 I didn't bother to watch.
5 I'm glad I didn't. In the paper it looked like a feeble attempt to get women voters to vote Repub.
6 Ain't gonna happen.
7 I just stuck to my personal late-night snack: my Giants.
8 It gets exhausting watching them.
9 As a guy who went through the entire October baseball thing two years ago, I realize that exhaustion is a part of winning.
10 I can't imagine how those guys feel.
11 I'm guessing pretty good this morning.
12 And don't think I'm not keeping a keen eye on the A's.
13 Wouldn't that be something?
14 Hey, anything's possible dude.
15 We'll just have to watch. Both teams are determined, that's for sure.
16 Whether both teams have the horses is another story.
17 And it's only August.
18 At least I THINK it's August.
19 They have us all turned around.
20 Over in these parts, schools aren't opening until next week.
21 At least I think it's next week.
22 Who knows?
23 Somebody somewhere kidnapped summer.
24 Then we started school, but they called off the first two weeks to two of my classes.
25 The two new classes are filled with awesome students. I lucked out.
26 Ah, all students are pretty awesome when you get down to it.
27 Some are just a little tougher to inspire, but all are capable.
28 Just yesterday I had a handful of stuff, got to the door to my building, and one of my students opened the door for me.
29 I'm impressed that a whole lot of students at my school have those kinds of manners.
30 Maybe it's because I'm an Old Brown Shoe.
31 Anyway, it was awesome.
32 So not much news today. Just a bunch of Repubs having a cocktail party.
33 And a hurricane practically at their front door.
34 Once again I find myself up against the clock.
35 And I slept in this morning, which means I really have to put this DN to bed fast and get myself out of bed and on the road.
36 So I'm gonna have to give another fast so long.
37 I try each day writing this thing after school, and three days in a row it was really tacky.
38 Yesterday AOL had this horrific picture of beastly naked people with some sort of headline, "What naked people are shouting about..."
39 Something like that. I began writing it up and it was too much bad for the eyes.
40 I spiked it.
41 So this is what we get for today; not much, but at least you didn't have to even think about that one.
42 I gotta git to gittin'.
43 You guys have a good one.
44 Peace.
