Sanitized

The Deuce asked me to blog about some utensils he recently had the pleasure of using. I told him to post about it on his blog, but apparently he's a girly-man and "can't find the time"-blah-blah-blah. Seriously man it takes just a few minutes out of your day.

But I'll post it for him anyways....

I hate getting dirty silverware at a restaurant, but I can't stand not having holy-sanitized-silverware. Thankfully the good people some eatery in Austin not only properly washed these utensils but then put them in this handy-dandy baggy thingy. I'm especially thankful for this because I do not like my silverware being exposed to the elements.

But then they go a little further and on these handy-dandy baggy thingy-s they printed three prayers. Because worse than un-sanitized silverware is forks and knives that God personally has not been invited to bless. I like to think that what these prayers are for, blessings for holy-sanitized silverware. Because whoever would possibly take the time to appreciate these prayers probably will already ask a blessing over their dinner.

But going one more mile still...there is three prayers on these handy-dandy baggy thingy-s . One for Protestants, one for Catholics and one Jewish prayer. Again I'm just assuming, but I believe this to be because you never know which group's silverware the Great I Am will be personally be watching over.

Why I Love Sports

This is a great story. After 5'2'' Sara Tucholsky hit her very first home run every she forgot to step on first bases. As she made the quick turn back towards the bag her right knee blew out. She crawled through the pain back to first. However for her homerun to count, she had to complete the trip around the bases without her teammates help.
Only one solution could be found, and that was by the first baseman of the opposing team. Members of the visiting team lifted up Sara Tucholsky and carried her around the bases, pausing at each to let Sara make the appropriate touch.
FYI - Sara's team won! It was the losing team (who were knocked out of the tournament, ending their season) that showed her amazing honor.

Double Feature

Today I took a sick day and except for a quick visit with the insurance adjuster I chilled at home and enjoyed a double feature at the local matinee house...er I mean my couch.
Here's what I watched:
