it's almost 10:30 am


another Monday, another week dawns. things are in such flux in the office. not so much on the radio. thank heavens. he is the one solid, can-count-on person in this whole crazy situation.


the meeting this morning had a levity that has never shown its face before. i learned a few things i didn't know before, and other stuff was re-introduced and remembered from the last time i did this.

i have been advised to keep things to myself today. maybe today isn't the time to roll out something i haven't fully researched and accumulated all the information that needs to be together for the presentation.



then again, is that just the fear talking?

that's all i could come up with during the drive today. any more you can think of?

icky bad

these are the days you are (ok, i am) a little leery about being in the car all day. not only is there construction taking place on every road i find myself driving, but people are acting just plain crazy on the roads. four ambulances have had me pulling to the side at different points today...and this accident blocked Main Street. i got freaked out enough to take a ten minute time out at Barnes and Noble to let the traffic thin out on Grape Road.

can't wait to be home tonight...

you gotta love



a day like today,
one in which there is time between
appointments to enjoy the blue sky, sunshine and the brilliant colors of the turning leaves.

fall is bursting out everywhere. tomorrow's colors could be even better, as the temperature is slated to be verrrrry cold overnight...at least colder than it has been since spring. then the weather turns icky during the day. maybe snow next Monday. ick. but i guess that means its just one day closer to summer, huh?

i read something today

that has really stuck around. Karen Bishop sends out these energy alerts when things around us are changing. she interprets the changes and, holy cow, has she hit a few things smack-on over the past month.

she kept saying that September was a time of rest, that there wouldn't be much activity or forward motion til the equinox and then it would get nutty.

there wasn't...and it has.

time has cranked up. tons of things to do. projects are started and then left to start another. nothing seems to be completed.
she says if you are in alignment with the new vibrationa
energy this will happen as we have one foot in the old reality and one in the new. that we may still need to finish some of the old stuff while getting ready for the new.

but the thing that has been stuck on replay has been this:
if we had not had George Bush as president for the past 8 years we wouldn't be where we are now, in a space where enough people are ready and willing for change...for a new and higher way of being and living. George Bush had to shake things up for us. He did a wonderful job and he did his job well. he was just part of our ascension process, and at his soul level, he knew exactly what he was doing. We are all in this together.

wow. shook me to the core. and, on the other hand, made me laugh and say "at least, on his soul's level SOMEONE knew what he was doing!"

i spoke too soon

final score...North Carolina 29, Notre Dame 24.

first half went well for the Irish...not so much the second half. North Carolina's defense came out ready to play and rolled over our guys.

oh well. still better than last season. we rest this Saturday and are back on the road the following Saturday.

Saturday, October 11, 2008

so far so good

on the way to the first road win of the season. after the first half, it's Notre Dame 17 North Carolina 9

whaaaaa??

the gas pump from which i withdrew a tankful yesterday. this particular pump is in a town 30 miles from my home...and almost 50 cents cheaper per gallon from the one just down the street from my humble abode.

wtf?

the sweep

wow…the Dodgers swept the Cubs. Cubbies second post-season in a row of suckage. i guess being the team with the best record in your division doesn’t necessarily mean the best team on the field. i don’t know if, at this point, the Dodgers can be stopped.

the Dodgers will meet the winner of the Phillies/Brewers series. ’m rooting for the Phillies…Jamie Moyer is pitching for them this season. it would be cool if he went to the world series.

final score


Notre Dame 28 Stanford 21

347 yards and 3 touchdowns for Jimmy Clausen. nice work boys!! today is a happy Saturday!!

now, maybe the Cubbies will pull one out too...

at the half...

Notre Dame 21 Stanford 7

can it be...

that i awaken this morning to another Cubs loss? WTF???

this came from Lisa and her cubs pals...a prediction for the rest of the series:

Looking into my crystal ball, here's the headlines I see coming:

Sunday, October 5
Chicago Cubs pitcher Rich Harden pitched a gem in last night's 4 - 0 Cubs win, allowing the Northsiders to stave on being swept for the second consecutive year in the first round of the NL playoffs. Harden pitched seven strong innings, striking out nine while not walking a batter. Giovanni Soto's 3-run homer in the 3rd inning proved to be the game winner as the Cubs forced a Game 4 Sunday in Los Angeles.

Monday, October 6
Could this be the year? The Chicago Cubs dominated Los Angeles yesterday, routing the Dodgers 9 - 1 behind another solid pitching performance from Ted Lilly. Lilly, who finished the regular season with three solid outings, followed up yesterday by pitching 8 innings of shut-out baseball, while allowing only 3 hits and striking out nine. The offense finally came to life and showed why they were the top run producing team in the National League this year. Soriano, Ramirez, DeRosa, and Edmonds all homered as the Cubs pounded out 14 hits to force a deciding Game 5 Tuesday night in Chicago.

Wednesday, October 8
CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!

NOTE: Game 1 of the National League Championship Series begins on Thursday, October 9th between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs.

Didn't know I was psychic did you?


LOVE IT!!!
