With Tempe about to house the last of the presidential non-debates, I thought I'd share this little article from earlier in the campaign that I recently found. Of course, with my work schedule I missed the VP non-debate and only heard part of the most recent presidential non-debate.  The part I heard was pretty interesting.  I noticed how they ignored questions to respond to previous things the other said on several occasions.  Why both to make such rigid set of rules to prevent debate if both sides are just going to break those rules when it suits them?

 

So, let's see where we left off.  Nine days ago we played Nautilus at Papago Park.  The mosquitos were so bad the gang actually lathered themselves in OFF! instead of just spraying it on themselves.  I opted to pull out my windbreaker and drop my hair instead.  Once again, the backpack came through for me.  People may tease me, but it's nice to be prepared.  I did end up with some bites on my hands, but my summer biking gloves have exposed fingers. 

 

Eight days ago Steve's game was canceled, so Wayne invited me over to show me some mail merge stuff for LepreCon XXXI.  After that I came home and watched SG1, Buffy, and Angel at their new times. 

 

Seven days ago I went to mass, biked over to Wayne's for the Paladium game, and came home to watch Enterprise, Buffy, and Angel.  The ride from church to Wayne's was interesting as the people along the way were actually friendly, unlike the whole summer.  It's always facinating how people let the summer heat make them grumpy. 

 

Six days ago I mowed the lawn, returned the drill my father lent me, and went to Bill's for hamburgers, Star Wars Life:  A Jedi's Path, Star Wars Epic Duels, and D&D Scourge of Worlds. 

 

Three days ago I had swapped work schedules so that I could attend lector training.  They changed EM and lector procedures effective immediately, so we had to attend Thursday or Saturday training periods. 

 

Two days ago I hosted another session of Nautilus for the gang plus Steve.  Yesterday Steve hosted a game night, but only Monte and I showed.  We ended up playing Settlers of Catan and Munchin basic editions. 

 

This morning I attended mass, had a slew of phone calls, went to the Assassins in Love tournament where Ken & I lost every game we played.  Oh well.  Then I came home, watched some tv, checked email, and posted this here.  I like the new Jack & Bobby show.  Check it out. 

 

Having attended morning mass several times recently, I can't wait to attend my normal evening mass again next week.  The assembly in the morning is bearly audible in its spoken and sung participation, and Father drags out the pauses in his homilies much too long compared to when he does evening mass.  I'm not sure if that's because he's tired, he's trying to reach a tired audience, some combination, or something else entirely. 

 

Anyway, I'm getting tired.  So I'm going to sleep.  Night.
