Randomness on a Monday Morning

The Cubs didn't win last night, they lost in 11 innings 4-3, but they gave a good showing.  During the game I continued to be impressed by center fielder Marlon Byrd.  He knows how to hit the ball, throw the ball, and catch the ball.  (That's what baseball is all about after all.)  AND he runs as hard as he can every time he's on the bases.  No standing around waiting to see if the ball is a home run or an out.  In fact, I told my kids that when I get to manage the Cubs I might get rid of almost all the players and start over, but I'm keeping Marlon Byrd.  And if I can't manage the Cubs then I told the kids he could just be my boyfriend.

I'd better find out if he's married.  Also he's probably too young for me.  Too.  Young.  Yeah, better stick to the managing idea.

I went to the combined Unitarian-NCC service yesterday.  Fancy!  And I just want to say that I think we've got the best deal going in town at NCC.  I won't go into detail here, but I will say I'll be looking forward to sitting in our semi-circles and having little Anna be able to dance in the back freely during communion next week.  (Didja see her squirming as she tried to walk in line down the center aisle with her mom?  Oh dear.)

While I was there I saw my divorce lawyer, Gary!  He's a Unitarian.  Who knew?  I meant to thank him for making it possible for me to be Marlon Byrd's new girlfiriend, but I forgot.  Also I guess that hasn't happened quite yet.  Still waiting to see if he's married.  I think I'd better get on the web and find out now, before a very mad Mrs Byrd finds out and ruins my chances of getting to be manager of the Cubs....excuse me...

Ok, I'm back.  Marlon is too too too young, and married.  Never never never mind!

He's even younger than my brother Mark.  He's even younger than Michael Buble!  How is that possible?

Today I am planning to do some home-study classes for my physical therapy license.  Every 2 years we have to complete 40 hours of approved continuing education classes to keep our license current.  And pay money to keep our license current, of course.  And pay money for the classes, of course.  But it's worth it, of course.  So I need 15 more hours by the end of September.  I don't usually wait this long.  But this time I did.  So today I'm planning to get through a 4-hour class on pharmacology (oh joy, rapture, biochemistry!) and maybe start a 5-hour class on radiology which should be fun...looking at MRI and Xrays on my computer.  Later in September I'm going to a one-day class in the Chicago suburbs for a class on Pilates for PTs.  (While there I hope to squeeze in a lunch interview with the Cubs general manager, whose name I should probably learn first.)  That class is 7 hours, so that puts me safely over my requirements by an hour!  Whew!

I wonder if they will mention they effects of hiding your medicines in bon-bons in the class?  I'll be sure to let you know if they do!
