I'm beginning to think they should rename 9/11 "God Bless America Day".
--------------------
Minor pet peeve: I don't like it when they screw around with traditional songs like the national anthem or God Bless America. I mean what's up with all that extra stuff? People get too tired of the traditional way of singing the Star Spangled Banner?

This is my first year to do a fantasy football league. On a whim as a Steelers fan, I picked up Willie Parker to start for me. Thank you 209 all purpose yards and a touchdown. I also had Carnell Williams, but I benched him in favor of Shaun Alexander. I'm going to try to play the hot hand and get a WR while I still can.

Wild card races in baseball have stratified a bit. A's a bit more doubtful after Crosby's injury, but the A's have the pitching to go far. Same goes for the Marlins.

Yeah, so in Sunday School today, the Question of the Day was "If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you would save?" Okay, I have to admit my first thought was my laptop since it does have a few important files on it. Then I felt kinda bad when people started mentioning their family members. I mean, am I bad person for assuming my family will be able to get out on the fire on their own? Or is that just a reflection of how materialistic I am? Hrmmm.....

Non-musicians always have trouble with people screwing with the songs. As a singer...I LOVE it. It shows creativity, and keeps it from being boring. And, let me tell you, the Star Spangled is a TOUGH song to sing. If people can make it more interesting, let the go for it, I say.

I still have faith in my A's. They won't let me down.

I don't think you're a bad person. Generally speaking, D, if people are WORRIED that they are a bad person, and willing to affect that kind of change if the answer they get from themselves is "yes"...then they are just fine.

Hey, don't call me a non-musician, I studied piano for six years. However, now that you bring it up, it probably would get boring to sing the same song the same way thousands of times. I guess I'm more of a traditionalist.

A's play the Indians...they need to win two out of three.

That should have been non-singers. My apologies.
