Chai a little tenderness

One of the girls at work brought in some Chai Cupcakes today...
When she offered me one, I told her I had never had one, but I was willing to give it a chai.
Oh yeah, it was delicious, and it set me up with puns for the rest of the day...


Chai it, you'll like it...
If at first you don't like it, chai chai again...
I know...just chai not to laugh.

Not very UP

**SPOILER ALERT***

I just got back from seeing UP.
Hmmm...

Let's see, I cried through much of it and was saddened by the majority of it. What was sad? Well, to start with, there's a miscarriage and subsequent tragic realization that the main character's wife is barren. Then there are the multiple financial problems and personal issues that the character's face which cause them to reluctantly put off pursuing their dreams. Oh, then there is the wife's time in a long term care facility, her premature death and the heart broken man's attendance at her funeral. Yes! Then the elderly man is forced from his home, pushed to violent behavior, arrested, and taken to court. Oh yeah!
And that's all in the first 15 minutes or so.
After that, it seemed to me that there was nothing but anger, violence, cruelty and a main focus of unfulfilled dreams. Did it have a happy ending? Well, if finding out that your childhood hero is a murdering psychopath who is ready to kill you as well--and then watching HIM die--is a happy ending...then yes.
I'm sorry if I missed something, but UP was a DOWNER for me.
As soon as we left the theater, we immediately found our way to a Margarita, a basket of chips and a big bowl of guacamole. Definitely cheered us UP.

Winning isn't everything...but it's damn nice.

Randy Johnson won his 300th game today!
I am extending an olive branch of peace to the Giants, who pick up a full game on the Dodgers, and a HUGE congratulations to Randy on his win! It's an amazing accomplishment!

Lakers Win!!

Pens win!!

Dodgers? Well...you can't win them all.
And there's always tomorrow...

WAY too much...

There will come a time when you think everything is finished.
That will be the beginning.
Never never never give up....
And, never never never leave a game early.
