Three out of four people are stupid....If you have a smart friend, guess what!

I will call this cold Friday for a couple of reasons. First is it COLD outside. Low 40's - upper 30's for the start of the day. Second, I have a terrible COLD. Stuffy nose, sore throat, if I cough it hurts deep in my chest. UGH!!!!

Both kids start basketball on Monday. Drew actually starts practice and Jess has "Open Gym".....The Open Gym concept came out of coaches inability to practice prior to the official start of the season. High School Athletic rules and all. So to get around this a bit, they have "Open Gym". It is supposed to be open to everyone but it is all the basketball kids playing/practicing basketball with the coaches watching. Now officially they can't coach but you can see the reality of this.

I am glad it is Friday even though I have a bunch of stuff to do at work. The problem with some of the work I have to do is that it is not urgent. It is easy to put things off that don't HAVE to be done today or soon. Over time these little projects build up and you have a crap load of work to do. The fact of the matter is I don't try to be too ambitios on Friday. I just work and try not to schedule meetings or take on new projects. This is probably why I hate Monday so much. I slack a bit on Friday and have to make up for it the first day of the following week. Friday Rich screwin over Monday Rich.

I typically feel pretty good about my cooking abilities but every once in awhile I have a crappy, crappy meal and last night was an example of one of those meals. So here's the story:

I thougth I would make creamed chicken on toast and was going to use chicken breasts to make it better. I ususally use canned chicken but thought I would go the extra mile and use fresh chicken breast. So I cook up the chicken breast and start to make the sauce. Well by the end the sauce was runny like milk. It tasted ok but who wants to have chicke breast cut up in a milk like substance poured over toast? NOBODY! The kids ate it but it was gross.

The huskers play Texas tomorrow in Texas. It is probably just as well that it is an away game, it sucks to lose at home. I read online yesterday that Callahan thinks he is doing an EXCELLENT job as coach and had done great things with the program. What an idiot! Maybe he and George W. share the same brain.

Barack Obama will be here tomorrow. The kids are complaining about having to go but they can suck it up. Some things you can't appreciate until you get older. Drew told me he shouldn't have to go because even if Barack became president, he would be out of office before Drew was eligble to vote. Whatever! It's not like we have to go anywhere to see him. We walk out our back door about 200 yards and thats where he will be.

Well, I am off to start my Friday and the weekend. I hope the Huskers win and I hit lotto. Which do you think will happen first?
