Today was pretty boring. I spent the morning putting finishing touches on one of my three website designs, and the afternoon downloading Jasc's Paint Shop Pro. I also got a voicemail account today. Leave me a message, toll free, at (877) 778-5487.
The Cardinals had a ten game winning streak (the first time they've had ten wins in a row since 1982, when they won it all) going into today's game. michael's "boy" Ray Lankford, who's been on fire recently, was batting in the ninth with two men on, two outs, and the Cardinals down by a run. He hit a slow grounder to second, and the winning streak was over. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. The Phillies are leading the NL East, so they won't be as easy as the Pirates, who were 13 games under .500 yesterday (I haven't checked today). Fortunately, with the unbalanced schedule this year, the Redbirds get to play 10 more games against the Pirates.
It's been really storming here tonight, and the radar shows the rain stretching from here to well west of St. Louis, which I'm guessing means that it will be raining most of the night. I don't dislike the rain, as long as I'm not in it, but I do dislike the fact that this storm has ruined the reception on the TV in my room. Of the seven channels I can normally pick up, I can only see one tonight, so I've been forced to watch the Fox 7 news. It's pretty pathetic, even given the low standards of local TV news. The sad, sad part is that, rather than the normal half-hour of news that other stations have, Fox 7 thinks it's viewer want a FULL HOUR OF LOCAL NEWS. Even though it pains me to do so, given my enjoyment and appreciation of television in general, I've decided to turn the thing off rather than watch this crap.
