liamstliam | Sunday: Working away -- or trying to . . . (Reply)

1. Even before I got to start the 14-item to-do list, I had to add a 15th. Now that the buckwheat, blueberry-chocolate chip pancakes are made and eate, and alethea_eastrid is happier, I will start on the kitchen.

2. Later, still not much done. For specific reasons, I would like to be listening to the Yankees-Orioles game right now. Instead, I am listrening to the play-by-play of the Pope holding Mass in Yankee Stadium. "The Pope just said 'Boston' very quietly here in Yankees' Stadium." [Pettite's perfect game ended with two out in the fifth anyway.]

3. I am fascinated by the Wii Fit, but they are doing it wrong. You need a "Bad Dreams" game, where you are running away from wolves while wearing socks on a freshly waxed floor (luposlipophobia) or a jumping game where you have to get away from snakes or something else like that.

4. The dishes don't seem to be doing themselves.

5. It completely boggles my mind that according to a recent poll, 10 percent of Americans think Barack Obama is Muslim. I don't want Hillary Clinton to win, and I especially do not want her to win because people are stupid.

6. OK. So one of the comparisons between the two candidates in Pennsylvania was: How were they doing among beer drinkers? It was even, by the way.
