Here are the postgame team pictures for Turkey Bowl 2003.  Similar to ‘Where’s Waldo’ your job is to figure out who took the first and second picture.

We had 22 people play this year, and a handful of no shows.  The teams were pretty evenly matched.  It was not the high scoring affair of recent years, but the snow made the game Lamboesque.  I may have to mow 2 fields next year so we can do two smaller games and then have winners play winners, and whiners play whiners.

I think I’m using the wrong toothpaste - I read the label on mine and it says it has Cavity Protection.  I was hoping for Cavity Prevention

• Her: For Example, suppose you did Ctrl - B, O…
• Me: Are you trying to tell me something…
• Her: No, I, ah….It was just…

• NPR: …and they even arrested people trying to start a library.
• Justin: Why would they arrest someone for starting a library?
• Me:[[lengthy explanation]]
• Me:Have you ever the saying - The Pen is mightier than the Sword?
• Justin: No
• Me:[[lengthy explanation]]
• Justin: Did anyone ever say - The Pencil is better than the Pen?

Jack did so well at his football game that he got a new puppy.

I’ve been experiencing weird cases of deja-vu and precognition lately.  I am reading a book that I know I’ve never read, yet I seem to know the plot, characters, and storyline very well.  I am also reading a dungeon/adventure for D&D that seems very familiar, but I can’t be sure if I’ve ever played it.  I’ve also found myself reacting to thing faster than should be possible, such as turning of the alarm clock on the first beep. 

Of course since I don’t believe in precognition or deja-vu, the wiring in my brain must be getting faulty.  This seems likely, since I opened the microwave last night and found lemon juice that I was sure I had put into the refrigerator.

Saturday

• Justin’s Soccer Game at 8:00 am.  It was COLD.  Alli and Danielle had a game at the same time (Brenda took them), they were equally miserable.
• Listen to Mizzou - Colorado Game while trying to clean the house.  The Tigers couldn’t get a break.  It seemed like they were dominating the game, just having terrible luck.
• Evening - Brenda worked.  I took the kids up to “The Fantasy Shop” (no, its not an adult entertainment store — its a comics and games store).  Tim (aka Villmish) had ordered a copy of Rapan Athuk for me (its and adventure for D&D — never mind).

Sunday

• Made Bacon and Eggs for breakfast.  Of course I used the George Foreman Grill to make the bacon (thanks Ko).  Justin ate 2 scrambled eggs, 4 or 5 pieces of Bacon, and a bowl of cereal.
• The Girls had their last soccer game of the year.  Danielle played her best game.  One of the Mom’s made the comment that “She’s on Fire”.  The game was very close, but the other team scored the go-ahead goal with about one minute left.  After the goal, the opposing coach told his girls - “See, I told you that we could beat them.”  I responded in a conversational voice - “That’s right coach, its all about winning with kindergarden girls.”  I don’t know if he heard me, but one of the parents near me agreed that the coach was out of line (in fact they started a conversation with several other parents about what the coach had said).
• Evening - I made chili for me and the girls.  Its a tricky art, making it taste decent without making it too spicy for them.
• Night - Watched part of the horrid Rams game.  Thankfully South Park came on at 10:00, so I only watched the game on commercials.  South Parks formula is readily apparent, to the point where as soon as they presented the initial premis, I knew that they would be presenting the opposing side and “The moral of the story”

There have been volumes written about parents and kids sports. At times it’s sickening.

I made chili for Janet a while back. Normally she loves everything I cook, but she absolutely hates my chili. I have to freeze what I make and eat it when she’s off on a business trip.

You have to admit that even if you have the formula figured out, SP is still one of the best shows on TV.
