Mornin' Cuzzies, Looks like we're finally going in to the land of hot this week-end w/ the temps going into the high 90's every day. Gonna be kinda hard on us because we've really had a very short gradual warming springtime. The children, as usual, are totally unaffected as you can hear their laughter and noises in the neighborhood....and Da Kid has his aspiring athletes out every day working out, learning new tricks, and getting ready for the all- star playoffs....which is b-i-g in Houston. Da Kid allowed as how he did some scuba in Cozumel, and wondered why, as I was the swimmer I was, that I'd never done that. Don't do no swimming in waters w/ no folks what have teeth and such....just as Da Kid don't do noooo activities around snakes....which I did a lot of. Different strokes for different folks. ( : Aaaand, we have the Belmont Stakes going today.....I was right in saying this was a lack lustre crop of 3 yr. old thoroughbreds this year, and there's not much excitement abt. the race. Thus far, I'm still going w/ Ice Box. He should have won the Derby, but got in a storm before he hit the finish wire. And, in the meantime I'm looking forward to the College World Series in baseball coming up. ( : Go out and enjoy yourself today. Don't worry abt. world affairs or calamities. Not worth it....nuthin' any of us can do abt. it anyway. Buckette
