Stupid Upgrade

It's been a while since I last typed something that nobody will read - thanks to the stupid update that I haven't had time to do...But here's more.

Dangit! I thought we were going to be rid of Pau!! I don't have anything personal against Pau (I know I rail against him an awful lot), but it's just that I think his value to the Grizzlies is MUCH higher as trade incentive than it is as a player. We've been waiting on Pau and putting different pieces around Pau since 2001 - and all we've gotten is swept out of the playoffs 3 years in a row. Should have traded Pau instead of Shane and gotten a higher pick in the Rudy Gay draft.

The racing season is starting off with a bang - and no I don't mean David Reutimann's crash (thanks Greg Biffle) at California - so far this season. DEI is sucking a little now, but it's usually all or nothing at Daytona, and California isn't typically one of their better tracks.

Congratulations to Kevin Harvick. Great job on the 500 win! And Congratulations to Mark Martin - leading the points standings (at least for now). Make another run, Mark. If there was ever a sponsor that deserved the commitments that the drivers make - it's the Army. I would think getting to meet with those guys and help boost their morale would ease some of the sponsor commitment sting.

I'm getting through it slowly, because I keep having to put it down...it gets depressing. But if you haven't read "We Were Soldiers Once...and Young" do it. It's the book that the Mel Gibson movie was based on. It will give you a whole new respect for our Vietnam veterans - and a whole new outlook on what's happening in Iraq.

And lastly - time for tee-ball!! Coaching my first season and coaching my son's team (his first season).
