“Dad, Where’s your car”?

…were the first words out of my son’s mouth a few minutes ago when he came home from work.

That really threw me off until I remembered that I pulled into Romano’s mkt on the way home from confession today and without thinking walked home leaving my car parked there.

Good thing he mentioned that or I would have been in quite a panic in the morning.

How do you forget your car?

As you know I’m still in my Am I worth half as much as Andrew Sullivan fundraiser. It has 7 weeks to go and it has gotten off to a slow start (thanks to all who have kicked in BTW).

As important as that is to me we are going to suspend it for a day for the Christine O’Donnell Money Bomb

It’s important to have conservative blogs, but to make change you have to have the actual candidates. Christine is the real thing, so if today you were thinking of hitting DaTipJar I suggest it might be a better time to hit her Money Bomb.

I can manage for a day.

So I’m happy to Join Robert Stacy and promote this Money Bomb, lets drive Tina Brown even more Nuts over Republican women

Oh and use this link to get to her site. The first google result will take you to a phony site attacking her after all if you actually see the candidate you might like her and the left and the rinos can’t have that can they?

I have never seen a bench play so well. This team has turned around the game in the 4th with 1 starter and 4 bench players.

Tony Allen, Nate Robinson, Wallace and Big Baby are just playing incredible.

We may win this game/series we may not, but it won’t be the fault of this bench and if we do win these guys deserve the credit.

LA seems to have no solution to this defense.

Update: I wrote the above midway through the 4th. Magic Johnson said pretty much the same thing in the post game on Sportscenter.

D-Day June 6th

Well today is D-Day when we remember the landings at Normandy and the troops who fought and died in the greatest amphibious invasion in history.

As the generation that fought this battle and their children die we tend to forget what was done that day. We have only the history channel and movies to remind us.

In my youth it was The Longest Day. It was played on D-Day every year on some UHF network.

Notice a young Sean Connery in his pre-bond days, in fact this was the last movie he was in before Dr. No.

Today for a later generation we have Band of Brothers episode.

Remember just as the minstrels kept stories alive in olden days so are films the modern day minstrels that will remind a generation of the greatness of their fathers.

As for my own D-Day I have been told conflicting things. I was told a few months ago that this would be the last week of my unemployment. Yet the last time I was at the office a couple of weeks ago I was told I had one final extension that I had been told I didn’t qualify for before.

Which one is right? I hope the latter but I hope be ready for the former.
