A Long Weekend is a Coming

I am back. I think I am having some technical difficulties here today, so do not be surprised if this thing does not post properly. Then again, if it does not, you will not be able to read this. In which case, you would not know about the difficulties this whole bit is useless and redundant. Deal with it!

I was just reading that Osama bin Laden wants the body of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi returned to "him" by the Americans in Iraq. I just wanted to let Mr. bin Laden know that the body is ready and waiting for him to pick it up, but he will be required to show ID and he would need the claim ticket. No tickee, no washee as my grandmother would say to me.

I was at the baseball game last night with the family (Go Blue Jays). Interesting mix of people, I have to say. There was this one person, I am still having trouble figuring out if it were an unattractive woman or man. He/she, I think she was female, had a blue fanny pack on. There is an accessory straight out of the early 90s, that should never be duplicated. I know that we all have a lot of shit to carry. I know that summer is difficult because you "lose" those coat pockets when you ditch the coat for the summer. Still, the fanny pack is not the way to go for anybody. Hell, just minimize it all and deal with the keys stabbing into your thigh. Suck it up, smile and bleed quietly, with some dignity. There is no dignity with the fanny pack.

She was with a child of unknown gender. It was either a blond haired boy with a brush cut dressed in pink, or a blond haired girl with a brush cut dressed in pink. The wife thought it was a she and named her "Brush Cut Betty". I just thought that this could be one gender screwed child. I mean a boy dressed in pink like that (do you tell him that it is obvious his parents wanted a girl) then again a little girl in pink with a dyke hair cut. This kid is in for some emotional turmoil coming to grips with her sexuality. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that and it has nothing to do with me.

Well, have a great long weekend and enjoy Canada Day. Go Canada! Woo hoo! Ciao!
