My Niece Graduates!

My eldest niece Helen--and others but mostly Helen--graduating from the University of Florida, off to Austin, TX for grad school as a Longhorn.

You go, girl, a female engineer.

Sorry, Lord, for Asking You to Help the Florida Gators

Your Book tells me You love all people: humans good and bad, rich and greedy folks, mean people and  poor clowns like myself who revel in their misery, atheists, mormons, and  even Republicans and RepubliKKKans.

So You do not play favorites in particular athletic contests or elections but my heart says you enjoy sports, like the miracle Mets or Red Sox wining World Series after down to last strike of last out of at last at dat.  Had to feel blessed well exciting, even for You.

Nevertheless, why you got a mad on for my Cubbies?

Andre Ware's Lack of Metaphorical Awareness

As if watching  the Gators stumble and bumble for 'pret' near a half didn't bring enough angst, broadcasting gods cursed me with Andre Ware color commentating.

Mr Ware apparently has never met a metaphor he could not mangle..

"On the field with smeltering heat."  Andre, buddy, think you meant "sweltering."  While know smelters produce very high heat, the verb should read as "smelt" unless one means a small fish and thus a noun.

"Wrap your hands around that," about FL receiver, Jeff Demps, who runs a 9.96 100 meter dash.  Usually one wraps one's head around concept of fastest college football player.

Touchdown!!!  TD!!!

Gators tie the game!

Sheesh, Gators tie game at end of first half.

Weeping silently.
