They won't give peace a chance, that was just a dream some of us had

It was work and then the dentist; both painless procedures. The only bummer was being told I need a root canal and will have to go to a specialist. And then it's back to the dentist for a couple more visits. Take it as it comes, is what I say, especially when my tank is full of Zen like it is right now.

Back at home, I went for a vigorous run. Felt great. They're predicting heat and humidity this weekend, but I'm itching to hit the bike trail and take that long walk I've been planning. Can still happen, but it may be a shade more uncomfortable. We'll see.

Two books arrived in the mail today: Ficciones, by Jorge Luis Borges and Justine, by Lawrence Durell. Combined cost of ten dollars including shipping and handling. Not bad. Eager to read them, but will finish The King of Elfland's Daughter first. Yesterday at work, I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I liked it, but I read it so sporadically and often with limited attention; I feel like I didn't get the full experience. It happens.

Because a lot of World Cup games are played in the daytime, I've been hearing the scores before I get to see the rebroadcast at night. Consequently, I've been doing my best to avoid these spoilers. Hasn't been easy.

Celtics/Lakers game seven tonight. Can't wait, but if it looks like the C's are getting blown out, which I doubt will happen, I'm bailing. No matter the outcome, it will be bittersweet. This is the last game of the season and the team as we know it will look quite a bit different next season.

On the couch with Baby Boy Z this afternoon, he licked my arm as I hugged him. Then he licked my face. Why am I telling you this? Because I love him, that's why.

Fuck BP and their ilk! I can't word that strongly enough.

And with that, I'm out. Off to save the world or something.

I wrote this long comment about my opinion on BP... but hell its just too long to explain all my points... So the abridged version... I nolonger use BP but I know that this situation could have happened to anyone drilling off shore. The part that kills me is that the American Government encouraged explorative drilling now they dont want to share the responsibility (publicly). Just another example of our corrupt and ailing system in its finest. When I reflect through the past several years I see the greed (from oil) being the root of our countries evils. Without going into poltics I will say this... oil is like Karma... when its good we love it when its bad its a real bitch. :)

Well put, Leigh. Couldn't have said it better. I only made the one statement for the same reason you gave the abridged version. I just would have ended up ranting.
