Where are the posts?

They were trumped by a dose of real life and errands. Add to that a great book (The case for Christ). My discovery of the very fun variant of Civilization Beyond the Sword (Defense), a few family squabbles and posting just takes last place.
I didn’t even get to see Ellsbury steal home against the Yanks.
BTW impressive as that is do you know that a Young Rod Carew stole home seven times in one season?
Patriots Day Today

Here in Massachusetts today is the Patriots day holiday. When we remember the ordinary people who defeated the greatest infantry in the world and started on the path to the creation of this great nation.
For events we have the Boston Marathon, An early 11 a.m. Red Sox game and of course the re-enactments at Lexington and Concord.
I’ve actually never been as they are usually swamped and the parking is impossible but I think maybe next year or the year after I should go. It would be a shame to live a whole life around here and never see it in person.
With Maine we are the only states that celebrate the day.
Life is good but busy

Sorry about the lack of posting today, but as Glenn would say I’ve been busy having a life, and a lot of good has been happening:
The oldest got his first car. (My 88 year old aunt flunked her eye test and gave it to him. Michael Graham will be cheering that she is off the road.)
He also got a Son’s of Italy scholarship, that will take care of books and the like.
The youngest has been doing well both in school and with his girl and I’m pleased to say some rather responsible decisions have been made and discussed by him.
A good prospect has come up that might mean employment next month.
And you know what, just sitting here at the computer and watching the wife in the next room. 21 years hasn’t made her any less cute.
What more could a guy ask from life than all that?
In the end political moves can annoy me how can they make things bad when I’ve got all that going for me?
And that doesn’t even count the friends. Some of them are very far left, but as far as I’m concerned they are all right with me. I wouldn’t trade them for a two term Palin presidency!
