So after not playing softball since last year it turns out I am playing 4 games this weekend, two Saturday and Two Sunday. My former team mates pulled me back into the wild world of gay softball. Jeff and I went to the field tonight and I hit and fielded while Jeff pitched and hit to me. Not too many creaks or pulled muscles as I hit and shagged some balls. In fact it felt pretty good so I'm kind of looking forward to playing again. Let's hope it's not 112 degrees.

President Bush has been a "total failure" in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, in an interview on CNN.

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject...."

All the news as of late regarding the banking industry has brought out the paranoia in a lot of people. If falling interest rates were not challenging enough, the images and video of people lined up at Indymac bank to get there money out scares the holy bejeezus out of people. But wait, isn't that what the FDIC is for and you get your money in literally one or two days after they step in? Yes but that doesn't make everyone calm. And I guess if you have more than 100K under the same ownership it's understandable you would be nervous at certain banks. But please cut your local handsome banker some slack and educate yourself a bit by listening to us and researching on your own if you want, in order not to lump all institutions together.

In this day and age of cable news, the internets, and little old lady coffee clatches (why don't little old ladies trust anyone?), my days turn into trying to explain that my particular bank is safe even though it goes in one ear and out the other as some neb-crab (pittburgheese) ponders how much money she can stuff into her mattress. Today in email we got "talking points" on FDIC which could also be labled "relax, shut up and let me explain points." So if I could get people to relax and listen, including the section on how to make your accounts be insured for more than 100K, my day would be easier.

But since I have no such luck, I will continue to give out info to brick walls, I mean people.

Perhaps we can get Britain to take us back. But Republicans would never let a queen be in charge.

Top Chef, one of my favorite shows sent their tour truck through Pittsburgh today, parking in the lot of Whole Foods and putting on a cooking demonstartion for fans. Jeff had pointed out to me that my favorite chef from this season, Spike, was one of the two Chefs on this leg of the tour so we had to go check it out, you know for the cooking....Seriously though I do love this show so I was excited when I heard they would be in the hood.

It was fun, inside the tricked out semi trailer, we got to see them cook while they took questions from the audience. Jeff and I both asked questions and we got to sample the yummy food. We also got our pic taken with Spike and anautographed picture. It was a good day and there are some more pics.....

So Jeff took Thunder to the grocery store today. As usual, Thunder stays in the car with the windows rolled down some for the few minutes it takes to run in and out. Today was really hot in Pittsburgh so Jeff left the windows rolled all the way down. This time, Thunder decided to exit the vehicle, perhaps wanting to add snausages to the grocery list, and headed towards the door. Over the loud speaker came an announcement about a dog at the front door. So Jeff headed towards the door and there was Thunderama waiting for his daddy. Being he would be item number 11 in the ten items or less lane, Jeff took him back to the car. Next time we leave Thunder the keys so he can circle the lot.

Got in a bike ride today. Pittbsurgh is one big freaking hill. Screw the water bottle, I need an oxygen tank.

Matt and Erica are in from Michigan so we all (Alison, Paul, me, and Jeff) went to Kennywood on the fourth for some fun rides and fireworks. On one particular wild scary ride we were in a seat section with these two kids. And at the end one of them excitedly proclaimed "that was titty." Then the other agreed "yeah that was titty."

Hope your holiday was titty.
