Fly like a bird

Tomorrow I fly home.

*

A puddle jumper will take me from Corpus Christi

to Houston

where I will run like O.J. through the airport

to catch my connecting flight

to the city of brotherly love.

I managed to get through 2 3/4 books this hitch

mainly because I'm trying this new tactic of

reading while sitting up

rather than prone.

Reading and prone

just doesn't work for me.

I watched the President's speech tonight.

It really is fun listening while monitoring Twitter.

I don't tweet while he speaks

just doesn't seem right.

Watching Gabby Gifford,

the congresswoman who was shot in the head

last year

enter the building.....

a little emotional I'd say.

I love sports.

I can watch almost anything on TV.

I once spent the good part of the evening

watching curling, for heaven sake.

But today

on one of the many ESPN channels

they were covering

the practice of the Senior Bowl.

The Senior Bowl

is a football game that NO ONE

cares about

and ESPN was covering the PRACTICE

of a game no one cares about.

Except for maybe the Mom's of the players.
