The County Court at Law is driving me nuts. Trial last Tuesday (won), trial scheduled for last Thursday (dismissed, as it should have been, on the morning of trial), trial today (lost) and I'm #1 on the docket for Thursday.
And it hasn't been at all like Law And Order.

Along Came Polly
It's a silly movie, but I like it.
But my favorite line isn't funny at all: "It's not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride . . . . There is no point in going through all this crap, if your are not going to enjoy the ride. And you know what... when you least expect something great might come along. Something better then you even planned for. "
Body Slam
A few weeks back, a fan ran out onto the field in an NFL game and was body slammed by a Pittsburgh Steeler.
A video link (which is great) is at the bottom of the CNN story.
Skating With The Stars
All right, I blew by this show tonight on Fox and spent about 10 minutes on it.
One conclusion: Kristy Swanson is smokin' hot.
Drew Barrymore...
... who wore a shocking dress at the Golden Globes, appeared on Saturday Night Live to poke fun at herself. (Photo link here. Probably not kid friendly, but it was on network TV).
He Went By "Lucky"
From today's Star Telegram:
William "Bud" Post III, whose $16.2 million in lottery winnings brought him debt, despair and heartache, causing the kind of trouble often recounted in country-western songs, died of respiratory failure Jan. 15 at a Pittsburgh-area hospital. He was 66.
"Everybody dreams of winning money, but nobody realizes the nightmares that come out of the woodwork or the problems," he said in 1993, five years after winning the Pennsylvania lottery.
His problems included a brother who tried to hire a contract murderer to kill him and his sixth wife, a landlady who forced him to give her one-third of the jackpot and a conviction on an assault charge after Post fired a shotgun at a man trying to collect a debt at Post's deteriorating dream house in northwestern Pennsylvania. He went bankrupt, emerged with $1 million free and clear and spent most of that, too. (more . . . )

Bragging
I guess it's bragging to point out that I finished #1396 in last Thanksgiving's 8 mile Turkey Trot in Dallas. It's just that I have proof now.
Something That Bugs Me
Going to Subway, being one of only two people in line, and the guy in front of me says, "I've got an order for nine sandwiches".
I'll swear this happens to me every time.
And The Fight Continues
Today is the 33rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade. You can read the Court's opinion here.
And in an amazing coincidence, Bush has declared today "National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2006".
Take That Hillary
From the Morning News today:
"The 'it takes a village' philosophy is a joke because the village is now so polluted and so desolate of commonly held, child-appropriate moral values that my job as a mother is not to rely on the village, but to protect my children from it." - (In this month's issue of The Atlantic Monthly)
