A little slow on the uptake this morning..........
File this first part under the heading of “You know you’re either going blind or you’re an idiot if.......”
I’m looking at the computer monitor this morning and everything is a bit blurry. I wipe my eyes (It’s early, you know) and things are still blurry. I take off my reading glasses and hold it to the light and I notice that there’s a small smudge on the left lense. OK, maybe that’s the problem. I go to the sink to wash it. I wash the left lense and it looks clear to me. I then start to wash the right lense and I discover the real problem: It’s missing. I put them on my head this morning without noticing that and, worse, took them off and held them up to the light and didn’t notice that. The screw that holds the right side in is missing and the lense fell out. There may be a screw loose elsewhere, too, but I don’t care to think about it at the moment.
Word of the Day: Unopposed.
The Saints take on the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots tonight in Foxboro on National TV (Fox). The local radio gurus are reporting that both teams will play their starters for three quarters. I kinda doubt that. For one thing, the Saints were 8-8 last year and I’d be very disappointed if they were even settled on all of their starters already. For another, the Pats already know what they’re doing and what it takes and don’t need a tuneup or measuring stick of any kind. That organization is the envy of the league and I can only take some solace in the fact that it was once a sorry organization like ours. Hope springs eternal for Saints fans. I’ll watch some of the first half but I have a long day tomorrow and will need to knock off a little earlier than usual tonight.
1 day until Ya Boys Auction (Go Erasers), 10 days until CFFL Draft Day (Go Ragpickers), and 21 days until football season (Go Saints) begins...............

I get to my room, insert my Ving, and discover a guy - in bed asleep - already in my room. He jumped up quite agitated as you might expect.
