So we have these personal leave days that we get each year. There are 3 such days, and if we don't use them, then they go away. If we don't use any, then we get $180 at the end of the year. I was forced to use one the very first week of the year to attend Natalie's wedding. Yes, she was very inconsiderate to plan it during the school year. Now, I am using my final 2.
I wanted to go to Idaho, but that was before I remembered that gas isn't $1.32 a gallon anymore. Idaho will have to wait until early August. So, it looks like I'm going to fill the first half of the day blogging.
Platypi is now 1-0. We won our first game on the strength of two Brett in the park homeruns, and one from John. Our game last Tuesday was cancelled because they told us it was at 7, and the other team it was at 6. Next Tuesday, they told us it was at 7:30. They should find a way to write down all the game times for the entire season, and give it to us at once. When they do, I'll post the schedule here for any interested parties.
Lincoln has taken up the annoying habit of throwing himself on the ground then pretending he's hurt. He is a pretty good flopper, he reminds me of Robert Horry:
Anyway, no sympathy is given by me, which can be uncomfortable if done in public.
In conclusion, the Jazz had better win Friday.

Oh man, I remember that flop. Refs are so stupid. How does Boozer not get mad? Must be used to it by now I guess.
Yes, I don't mind flopping if that's what it takes to point out a foul to a ref... no ref will call a charge no matter how obvious unless the 'victim' falls down, in fact if he doesn't fall down, refs usually call it a block regardless of good position.
What kills the game is guys who flop when there was no foul just to find a lame way to get a turnover or whatever. There needs to be some sort of rule against that, the league looks at it after and starts suspending players for falling down when there was no foul, and not enough contact to warrent falling down.
Of course I say this now that Stockton isn't around, remember how he used to bait people into fouling him? Way funny.
"and Boozer just throws him to the ground"..."there was a little right arm extention". Embarassing commentating by Dick Stockton or whoever that was, at least the other guy was setting the record straight.
My favorite part is how Boozer raises his hand after the ref blows the whistle. Good one.
