Reading...
Aidan is still working on Cricket in Times Square. I'm reading 'Eragon', in preparation for 'Eldest', which I just ordered off of Amazon, along with most of the "Great Brain" series for Aidan. I loved those books, and others like 'Alvin's Swap Shop'(which I also ordered) when I was a kid. I'm hoping to pass that on to Aidan.
Aidan wants to join Cub Scouts. They're having a meeting tomorrow night. I'm still not sure if I want him doing it. I liked Boy Scouts as a kid. I just think that they put too much emphasis on religion, and exclusion of homosexuals. Kids don't need to learn hate at that age, and they don't need religion being forced by an outside organization...we'll see. Maybe this pack won't stress it as much.

From Moby
The following is off of Moby's blog. His view on this are pretty close to my own...
============
ok,
so now we all see that pat robertson is a belligerent lunatic.
so we can move on, right?
the right wing in america are nuts, but that unfortunately comes as no surprise.
they believe that the world was created in 6 days and that teletubbies are evil and that bare breasts on tv are more offensive than dead iraqi's and that kids reading 'harry potter' will end up as witches and that good christians support war and guns and assasinations and that pregnancies resulting from rapes should be rejoiced over.
so let's move on, ok?
the christian right wing in america are INSANE and, fyi, very dangerous, because currently they are running the country.
(as an aside: please, please, please, can we please re-instate the mason-dixon line? please? any sane and progressive southerners will be more than welcome to move north. we'll give you a donkey and 40 acres and it'll all work out swimmingly. and, in the process, we in the north can stop pouring our tax dollars into the 'christian' south, where the abortion and crime rates are considerably higher than they are in the 'godless' north. just fyi).
ok, we've moved on.
but, alas, there are tens of millions of people in america who still think that saddam hussein was behind 9-11 and that iraq had wmd's and that gw bush is not a liar and that the war in iraq is/was justified etc, etc.
so what do we do with the tens of millions of americans who are just fucking ignorant and ill-informed?
do we have to start administering voting tests?
question a: gw bush did knowingly lie about the cost of his medicare reform package to the tune of a few hundred billion dollars.
(hint: true).
question b: the bush administration did knowingly lie about and distort intelligence reports to justify the invasion of iraq.
(hint: true).
question c: the highest crime and abortion and illiteracy and infant-mortality rates occur in 'red' states that traditionally vote for republicans.
(um, hint: true).
question d: the bush administration has contained the highest number of convicted felons of any administration in the history of the united states.
(tautologically, hint: true).
well, and so on.
sorry if this is a nasty, political journal entry. but i'm sick and fucking tired of being associated with dim-witted americans who get all of their information from right wing news outlets and have no idea what's actually going on in the rest of the world, let alone their own country.
i still don't understand how the party of joe mccarthy, rush limbaugh, newt gingrich, trent lott, bob barr, james watt, etc, can maintain it's stranglehold on the u.s.
exasperatedly yours,
moby

Rained Out
Aidan's game on Saturday got cancelled half way through because of lightning in the area. Actually they kept playing in the rain, so I guess rained out was a bad choice for title.
He's doing good in school. Got an A+ on his first spelling test, and has been doing great on his math and reading.
I finished a database and application development course only to head right into a data mining and intelligent agents course...I'm almost done though....
The French are after Lance Armstrong again...they just won't give up. Unless Germans are knocking on the door that is...
I'm switching companies in October (same job, just getting hired on by the main contractor). The move comes with a nice raise, so I'm happy.
I need to get copies of all the Family Guy episodes. I accidentally errased the best one. It had Cookie Monster in rehab...great stuff.
more later

Soccer Pics
Aidan had his first game on Saturday. Luckily they don't actually keep score. His team is brand new, and played a team that has been playing together for more than a year. Everyone had fun though, so that's the good part. Some of the pics here are also from his first day of school. The one of him asleep was on the drive over to practice after his first day of school.

Aidan Logic
You don't go to the pool to cool off. You go to warm off, because the warm is on you and you want to get it off.

Research
Aidan and I did some research today on what type of rigging to use when we go fishing. I think we finally have everything down...we're going on Wednesday, so I'll let you (my many adoring fans) know how it turns out.
I added a link to show the weather here...now don't you feel special?
Argument for the day.... Intelligent Design is neither intelligent, nor a design...discuss
For those of you unfamiliar, Intelligent Design is creationism wrapped up in a catchy "scientific" sounding name...our wonderful president now thinks it should be introduced in schools...maybe in a contempory issues course, but please don't try and pass it off as science..our kids are far enough behind the rest of the world as it is....

Rainy Day
Couldn't go fishing today because of the weather. Instead, we went to Target and bought a new iron (Aidan knocked my other one over a couple of days ago), a wall clock, and alarm clocks for our bedrooms. Then we went to books-a-million to get some books for Aidan to read over the next couple of weeks. We have to read together every night and log what we've read and any comments. I think it's a great way for us to do something together. We read the 1st chapter of The Cricket in Times Square tonight. It was a favorite of mine, and I'm hoping it becomes one of Aidan's. We also bought The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and Bunnicula (about a vampire bunny), and Kavik The Wolf Dog.
I want to go out and dance, or just have a couple of drinks or something...I need a sitter for Aidan, or I need him to age rapidly so he can stay home alone...Sigh.
