busy day

So if St. Louis gets an MLS team, they'll play in Collinsville?

Collinsville, seriously? Calling Collinsville a suburb of St. Louis is kind of like calling Whiteland* a suburb of Indianapolis.

I find it hard to believe that anyone from Missouri is going to cross the river to go see an MLS game. But if they do, at least they can take in the world's largest catsup bottle.

Your St. Louis CATSUPSTARS.

I'm making a push for the name immediately.

Update: An article in your Belleville News Democrat - the only paper my mother reads

new year new you

Check any exercise based magazine this month, and somewhere on the cover it will say "New Year, New You". Probably Cosmo, too.

Fulham tied Chelsea Saturday. My Tivo was messed up and I missed it.

My tivo is now fixed, so I'll be able to watch it anyway....

Fulham also put in a bid for Clint Dempsey, as was rumored... for some reason I thought that this wasn't really going to happen. Anyway, next up for Fulham... Tony Meola. Just kidding.

Let's see... We drove back to Illinois Saturday afternoon, had dinner with Jim/Julie/Caroline, Jim and I went to Dandy Inn, then met Dave at Off Broadway in Trenton, Illinois. And we drank.

Sunday passed without even, until the evening when Gina and I drove over to St. Louis for a party, catching the early 9 PM fireworks while driving past the park. Met up with Jon and family for a very nice and entertaining night. It's always good to see Jon, and his family are all really great people, nice and interesting, and also robots.

I also met Jon's Miyuki, who was every bit as lovely and nice as she appears in pictures. Good job, Jon.

And yesterday I ate pizza. On the way back from Illinois, my song by song trip though my Ipod, which I started like 6 months ago, finally ended with some Nas song. I highly recommend the song order playlist for anyone tired of all the music on their Ipod. Anyway...

Here I am again. New Year, old me.
