Moving Day

We are moving into our first home today! We are very excited and hope that everything goes well. I just thought that I should let you all know what I will not post for a little while during the settling process.

Shuttle Launch Soon

Here is a link to a really good source on all news regarding the shuttle and other space stuff. There is an intriguing discussion about the dangers and advantages about a launch at this time.

10 Reasons that Soccer is the Best Sport

So I'm pretty annoyed to hear everyone talk about why soccer is such a boring, dumb, silly, wimpy, and slow sport. I have prepared a list of my top ten reasons that soccer is the best sport in the world. I hope you all find these informative.

1. I like it
2. The World Cup is an international competition not just U.S. teams playing against other U.S. teams and proclaiming themselves as world champions.
3. It is more athletic than other sports - more running, larger field, no timeouts.
4. The players must play the entire game - if they sub out they cannot come back in.
5. Soccer shorts and soccer legs - as submitted enthusiastically by Julie.
6. No set plays
7. Short people have the advantage over tall people because speed and agility triumph over height and coverage.
8. No pads allowed - real men play this sport!
9. Yellow and Red cards are so much cooler than sissy flags!
10. The last 10 minutes of the game doesn't take 40 in real time!

Are We Failing?

I read an eye opening article at ksl.com - which I must admit was surprising. Anyway, it talks about Crate & Barrel and the Cheesecake Factory not building stores at the Gateway because to few Utahns are college graduates! Now I don't give a crap about the stores but I do care about our declining population holding college degrees. What is going on here? This is a disturbing trend when it is clear that more and more jobs require college degrees for basic qualification. I think more women are getting degrees than ever before so are the men to blame? What do you think?
