Strictly Sports ... Schmictly Sports. There will be no sports talk tonight. But, you say, there's so much to talk about. World Cup Finals. MLB All-Star Game. NBA free agency. Don't care. Not gonna do it. No sports tonight.
Can't wait for church in the morning. I need a little recharging. Don't know why, but I've been in a bit of a funk lately. I feel like I didn't do anything today. Just laid in bed. Sure, I got up and mowed the lawn. It looks nice. Still need to get a weedeater to help with the edges. And I moved some of the excess stuff in the dining room. But I didn't do much. Felt lazy. Feel lazy a little too much. Perhaps it's the excess gut I've picked up. Haven't gained any weight. Stepped on the scale today. 178. Heck, I've lost a little weight. But my body shape has certainly changed. The weight has shifted, as they say. I've got to make a commitment to do something, anything, to get in better shape. I'm convinced that if I'm in better shape, I'll feel better and have more energy.
I'm up for an upgrade with my cell phone. I'm taking suggestions for a new phone. Right now, my current favorites are the Nokia 6030 (which I can get for $19.99), the Motorola L2 (a $130 phone I can get for free), and hte LG C2000 (a $100 phone I can get for free also), among others. If any of you have these phones, or maybe others, give me some suggestions as to what's good and what's not.
Things are still progressing with the house. Elizabeth is still painting some trim, which is turning out nicely. And I'm planning, hoping, to finish by Reflex Blue (or as close to it as I can find) Room, which is the computer room/den, on Monday. We're also anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new furniture -- which will completely transform our living room and dining room. Needless to say, Elizabeth and I are very excited about that. It should be here in about a week.
There are plenty of things going on right now. I'm trying to finagle my way into a couple of days off to take a trip. We'll see if that comes through for me. Also, The Town Talk is now looking for a new prep sports writer. If any of you out there know of someone who might be interested, give me a shout. And for those of you thinking, no, I'm not applying. While I like covering prep sports, I'm enjoying my new job. Plus, they're paying me way too much to do what I'm doing for me to go back to being a sports writer. It would be a "step back" for me when I'm on pace to being a sports editor or assistant sports editor in the near (but how near, that is the question) future.
Anyway, my e-mail address is b_hoss_mac@hotmail.com. Put it to good use sometime.
