There Will Be Mice

Watch out Mo Sheppo.  She's just getting started.

There Will Be Blood

The wise player will get rid of the ball quick.

the dream

There are these wild dogs outside and they are attacking the kid.  She is very concerned and explaining this to her mother.  Mom is yelling at her about getting ready for practice.  I step in and announce I will get my gun and take care of the dogs.  Marina informs me I have no bullets for my gun.  Mom agrees I have no bullets for my gun.  Marina handles the dogs in the end.  The parents were not as necessary for her survival as one might suppose. 

Poor kid.  She should have held out for that rich Spanish couple that was showing an interest.  Live and learn kid.  Live and learn.

A joke I read today on twitter:

A conservative, a moderate, and a liberal walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What can I get you, Mr. Romney?"

I know.  It doesn't make any sense does it?  You see, Mitt Romney is a Mormon and so does not drink.  Get it?  He would never walk into a bar.  That is funny indeed.

Glad I could help

I'm not fooling anyone

Hey Dad, the way those guys are running looks just how you run.

Since we are watching the Olympics, you would think I should take this as high praise.  After all, those speed walkers really are something.
