Filled up lately?

So i am flying on the plane last week. As we were over the Rocky Mountains, I looked out the window and thought “Gee, this is just like Google Earth” Then I started chuckling to myself because of how completely ass backward that thought was.

Just got back from softball.   We lost both games, but I did OK.

Game 1 - We lost 11-10…I was 0 for 1 with 2 walks and an RBI
Game 2 - We lost 20-7…I was 2 for 3 with a TRIPLE and a single and 1 RBI

So far - 2 for 4 (.500 Batting Average), 2 RBI’s and a triple.

Oof - we play next week @ 8am!

I went and joined Second Life after hearing some good things about it. If you see me (Winthrop Rothschild), say Hi!

Left the house yesterday and I pulled into the gas station as they were raising prices on the sign outside! Knowing that they couldn’t raise the prices before the change was completed (false advertising on price), I hurriedly filled up. Gas went from $2.94 to $3.09/gallon! I saved a whopping $1.50…but only barely.

Watch how I do in the tennis tournament this weekend here. I have byes for both singles AND doubles, so I might have a shot.

Chicago is number 2…and my other favorite city, Toronto is #7. Ha! We are better than NY on this….and I do agree with the rankings. Hong Kong #1? You betcha….All of those tall buildings and water and a mountain to look down on the city. Top shelf, IMHO.
