Ruby. Running. Brewers Suck. MacGuyver.


This being Ruby Grace. She was born 12 May at 5-something. During the Simpsons, nonetheless. When I get to meet her this weekend, I'll take my own picture. This will have to do for now. She looks like her mother and has the eyes of her father. Family genetics are at work here. All of my brother's kids will look starkly different, and I wonder if you will be able to tell that the cousins are related. Hmmm... Now Emma will have someone to play with. Being born about 8 weeks apart, they're going to grow up as twin cousins. This world welcomes you, Ruby, you're finally here!

I figured out my problems when I run. If I lose control of my breath, my mental approach to running sucks. If I can keep it in check, I'll be able to run forever. I need to teach myself how to meditate while I run...that way, long distances will feel like a peaceful and relaxing escape from the world. Right now it feels like I want to feel my body burn for a few minutes at a time. Well, patience is key, for the marathon seems more and more like a decent possibility.

Now that I live in the Windy Cit, I don't get to see the Brewers play that much. So now they're playing the Cubs at home, and they're sucking it all up. What hurts even more is that the park basically becomes Wrigley field North. Its depressing to see. I guess when not caring about Major League Baseball (or the National Baseball League) override's Milwaukee's distaste for Chicagoans taking over their ballpark...they should just close the park now, fold the team, and accept their unwanted distinction of being a big suburb of Chicago.

TV Land airs MacGyver at 11:00 on weeknights. Last night, I saw an episode with a Wizard of Oz type ending. MacGyver was knocked out while saving some lady and wound up in the Middle Ages. It was insane. The classic MacGyver moment happened when he released helium from a bunch of potions to fill a balloon to fly a kite with a knife tied to it. The kite managed to fly out of the dungeon. Conveniently, there was a thunderstorm going on...thus, lightning struck the knife which in turn traveled through some sort of wire to blow out the jail door. After saving the day, he awoke in the present day. Insane. Tonight's episode has an appearance by non-erik estrada guy from CHiPs. Amazing. The classic Macgyver moment features him getting out of a locked liquor storeroom using a beer barrel as a missile. Following a fight scene with Larry Wilcox, he convinces two rival gangs that guns and violence aren't the answer. Wow.

This show may actually be the greatest TV show ever.

My Baseball simulator team is making a run at the league lead...I can't get the song out of my head.
