Pals (if any),

I've found that I'm a spokesman for some of the dumbasses I encounter. I think I've always been a spokesman, a defender of the dumbass. It's just the last few years I have come to notice it. I can understand, and speak, for the common dumbass because I'm one myself. Back when I was growing up I was lousy at everything. I was terrible at athletics, pitiful, but I was even worse at academics. When I tell the people who know me that, they assume I must not have been trying, that I did not apply myself back in school. But I did apply myself. I remember studying two hours for a spelling quiz and getting something like a 62%. That was typical. In high school when kids were taking Calculus and Physics, I was taking a course called Basic Science. In that course I hovered between a C and a D.

I developed a sense of humor about it, my dumbassness. It was either joke about it, go crazy, or maybe feel sorry for myself. Sometimes my lack of scholastic ability...

I just love a good fight. Just to get in the ring and get all muddy, take some shots, get smacked around, and feel empowered by it all. Because I can take it... and I like it. Gets my heart rate up, wakes me up, makes me think... and even when I make mistakes, I learn from them quickly and get ready for my next shot. I love being kept on my toes and tested. The hardest part is to walk away. That's my biggest challenge.

Why don't more women like to fight? (I'm not talking about Sarah Palin, btw.) I wish they did. This forum would benefit from their contributions.

As some may be aware, beluga caviar was made illegal for about a year and since then the quality has been considerably lower. I was concerned about this because I like being a rich snob, and having lower quality caviar gets in the way of that.

Problem solved.

California White Sturgeon caviar, hand picked, sublime. I got some as a gift from a family friend. It's complex, rich taste attacks your sense from all directions. The texture is better than Beluga. The smell, too. And I mean better than pre-2007 Beluga. I've found myself a new favorite caviar, and it's from my own state.

So, several pieces of information were left out of a chore that needed doing today. We had to get the local college coach's show on the air, doing it completely different from how it's been done.

5 minutes before the show, I was burning the commercials to a CD because we had no other way of airing them.

This is yet another example of why things here are kind of half assed. I like it here, it's the next best thing to what I used to do, but it's a small anti-coporate place and sometimes operational facts fall between the long drawn out concert recollections from Bruce, man.

Another example of this is our generator. We are preparing for Hanna, because I asked if we should. Our engineer pointed out that we need a new generator because our old one doesn't work. As I look at it, it's an expensive piece of machinery to be sitting out on our deck, not working.
