<p>Father & Son - Cat Stevens</p>
<p>Off to Vegas on business. </p>
<p>Later…</p>
<p>Cry at Graceland?</p>
<p>There must be depths to SBmom we haven’t seen yet:).</p>
<p>“Losing love is like a window in your heart. Everybody sees you’re blown apart. Everybody sees the wind blow…”</p>
<p>Even a shallow chick like me can cry for that!</p>
<p>I don’t think crying is allowed in north Georgia right now - we’re in a complete outside watering ban - they’ve turned off all the fountains, including the ring fountains in Olympic Park. Does anyone know any good rain dances?</p>
<p>Not to worry, georgiamom. My s is planning to go paintballing with his friends tomorrow. That should bring the rain gods upon us for sure! (well, I hope…)</p>
<p>We have the dehumidifier running in the basement to continue to dry up everything in our basement after last week’s a/c flood. I am taking the water it generates out to water plants. True recycling!</p>
<p>Georgiamom, I’ve tried washing my car, leaving electric appliances outside (we’re in mid-garage-cleaning mode)… and mixing up various elixirs of bats wing and eye of newt. None of them are working here in Charlotte, either.</p>
<p>SBmom–I guess you’re right about Graceland—but, the catchy tune keeps me tapping my toes, even if the guy is heartbroken…</p>
<p>Update, georgiamom-
When ds # 2 wasn’t making the progress as promised on apps, I suggested that I might have to see what I could do to make it rain to interfere with the planned paintball game tomorrow. I got one of the red Atlanta Braves tomahawks (made of foam-the ones they give away at the games) and started hopping around doing an Indian rain dance. He burst into hysterics- and probably spit something in the process that landed across town (take any liquid falling from the sky that you can get! - what part of town do you live in??) He then told me I was certifiable (or words to that effect).</p>
<p>:) jym! unfortunately still nothing from the sky out here in Gwinnett.</p>
<p>Well, that would be a good hocker if it made it all the way to Gwinnett from E Cobb!</p>
<p>SBmom - you have never been shallow. I clearly also just get distracted by the bouncy music and neglect to listen to the sad lyrics.</p>
<p>Well, it’s a pretty good day to be living in Red Sox Nation. And not a bad day to be a Patriot fan, either. So…</p>
<p>the next round’s on me, Sports Fans :D.

Sports Fans? :o … We do have a corner where the games are blaring, don’t we? We are a bar, aren’t we??</p>
<p>Now, if only the Yankees lose, it will be a fabulous sports weekend!<br>
Brady is my fantasy QB :)</p>
<p>I regret that I am a little old for him, georgiamom. Oh well.</p>
<p>no, silly. on my fantasy football team. I’m a bit too old for him too. 
my niece organized a fantasy league, she and our family have 6 teams, and her fiance and his family have 6 teams. it’s rather addicting, keeping an eye on who’s injured, who has a bye week, etc.</p>
<p>We so are a bar. </p>
<p>If the hackers have a corner the sports fans totally have a corner.</p>
<p>Covered in old pennants.</p>
<p>The 49ers blow however.</p>
<p>I guess in SA protocol I don’t have to buy:)</p>
<p>Yeah, the 49ers. My once and former team.</p>
<p>It’s a long story.</p>
<p>Ptui. Once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker.</p>
<p>Go Yankees!</p>
<p>My true loyalty lies with the Dodgers. My dad was a rabid fan. One time he threw a radio out a plate glass door when they lost. Or so they tell me. We would go to the Giant Dodger games at Candlestick.</p>
<p>And cheer for the bad guys:). Don’t you love the sound of baseball on the radio on a late summer day?</p>
<p>Not much of a sports fan here but my SIL is a MAJOR Steelers fan and they won today so I’ll give a shout-out…</p>
<p>Woo-hoo!</p>
<p>Alu–just saw your post. Baseball listened to outdoors on a transistor radio in the summer. Exactly.</p>
<p>And it’s so HOT here it seems like it can’t be football season anyway.</p>
<p>Ah, Alu. I leave it to you to strike the one true note. And so you have.</p>
<p>The sound of baseball on the radio. Yes.</p>
<p>And if you haven’t read Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Wait Til Next year, then you should. Unless you <em>are</em> Doris Kearns Goodwin ;). No no, she is WAY older :p.</p>
