Why Should the Fire Die?
By Nickel Creek

What month is it?  My last post was about my wife being upset about the Pistons loss to the spurs in the NBA finals.  That was so long ago that I even forgot that the Pistons were, in fact, in the finals.  (which might be something that I should think about when I am spending so much time following sports: even though I can be completly enveloped by a sporting event, that even just a few months later I don't even really remember that event or the feelings I had following that event, but I digress).

I am finishing up my last time traveling for Calvin.  I have accepted a new position where I won't be traveling, but instead will concentrate more on covering in office visits from prospective students.  Megan is thrilled, as is Willis our dog, (yeah, we got a dog) at least he seems to be excited (or maybe he is excited at anything and everything, including the sight of his own tail.  I suppose I shouldn't judge, though.  If I had a tail and then caught sight of said tail, I might try to bite it and chase it and so on...)

Life has been wonderful lately, that is the reason for my absense, I swear.  Totally entralled (Sp?) by the baseball playoffs right now (see above).  My pick to win is the White Sox.  I think it had been the Angels, but i have changed my mind.  Pitching wins playoffs.  I am currently in my hotel lobby (right after the after party, right?) and watching the Padres (or the Fathers or Priests, whichever you prefer) and the Cardinals duke it out.  The Padres are putting on quite a comeback, just like they did in game one, only to fall short.  We will see what happens.

One last thing, and then I will see you in the winter, I just bought the new Nicklecreek CD, and am listening to it right now.  Not nearly as good as their first two attempts, but not bad!

I will leave you with food for thought:  What is the deal with minature gold courses all being Pirate themed.  Since when did the Pirates corner the market of the "Putt Putt". 

See you in January.  Sorry about my spelling.

Me:  "What's wrong honey."
Megan: "The stupid Pistons.  I'm so frustrated with them right now!" 
Me:  (upset that the Pistons lost but realizing the bigger picture of Megan actually caring about a sporting event.  The next step, teaching her to belch.)

It has been 616 days since I have joined xanga.  But has anything really changed?
AAAnyways, I am back for another go around with this blogging thing.  I just read my last two entries and I am not a very good writer.  It is difficult to write down exactly what I am thinking.  People who are good at this: KC, Grant, Davy.  I feel like they are there, telling me a story.  I sound like a third grader, trying to still capture the nuances of verb, nouns, and the like.  (I should know, my wiff is a third grade teacher.  Man, are those kids dumb! hee hee)

Anyways, I have a case of the sleepys today, and since I'm trying despretaly not to drink caffenine, this day has been difficult. I think it is because me and Mark P. Bogertman had a 6:40 tee time this morning.  And no, it makes no difference if its the AM or PM, I always am bad at golf.  Goff shots!

Feel very busy right now.  Am excited for after our conference next week.  I will be able to catch up with my thoughts, if you know what I mean.  I know there are multiple misspellings in this post, but I'm to tired to proof read.  Too tired!

So last night, the Sweetthangs lost a heartbreaker to those punks at Sunshine CRC.  Your boy, MCMattyC didn't do much to help the cause.  I felt like Bobby Higginson out there.  It was bad.  We lost 10 to 9.  On a happier note I got to hang out the Nathan "luv muscle" russell last night at the can.  Not only did I get to visit the can for the first time ever, but I also got to hear russell's tales of pain and love, of heartbreak and triumph, all from the mountains of Colorado.  What a snowy mountain ranch.  Also, in the world of sports, I made my grand return to the basketball courts today.  Just like Jordan I met the media circus with a single press release... "I'm back".  I had a Jordan-esque 15, 6, and 5 in the final game.... I should get planter faciatias more often.
