Monday, April 10th, 2006

OK – here are the first two chapters of my book. i’m still looking for a title and names of my people. if you have any ideas please feel free to let me know. If you’d like someone named after you; i’m open to bribes. i’m not sure if this will work but i’m working on it.  (If you want to read it click on comments – good luck it’s kind of boring)

A sales tax vote to renovate the Royals’ home and the NFL Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium was approved by Jackson County, Mo., voters on Tuesday night.

The infusion of funds will provide renovations considered long overdue for the Royals to compete in today’s baseball market. In addition, Commissioner Bud Selig has promised Kansas City an All-Star Game between 2010 and 2014 after the stadium project is completed.

I couldn’t vote because I live on the other side of the state line. If i had voted i think i would have voted for “A” which passed and will rebuild the ballpark and voted against “B” which would have put a roof on both the football and baseball park.

As I am writing this post, Jerry and I each have seven points in the bet.  For those of you who don’t remember that’s about 1% of the total we each will have by the end of the year.  We both believe we have the best picks of 2006 – only time will tell.

Go Royals!!!!

This Painting is by Erik Wahl. I attended one of his lectures 2 weeks ago. He painted this and one other during his talk. Choreographed to a series of powerful patriotic video images and music, Erik uses this painting as a catalyst to launch his programs on a dramatic high note. Very Cool. It might be a while before I frame it, can’t decide what type of frame will be best. I’m also having trouble finding the right place to put it. Right now I’m thinking about placing it it the den above the piano.
