Better later than. ...
Sorry again for not making any entries. Our Internet was down for a bit.
I was amazed at how vulnerable we are here without the Web and e-mail. Suddenly we couldn't pay bills, talk to friends, keep family informed of what's going on or check in on the weather or work or my porn sites ... oh, I mean, check on Web sites of deep, meaningful, socially significant discussions. Yeah. That's what I mean.
So. ...
Last week was Elspeth's 11th birthday. The photo is above. She looks like she's ashamed of her parents for singing too loudly or just making her look bad in front of her friends. And that's true.
We went to The Lost City in Holland Township. It has laser tag, video games and mini golf. Seems like all the kids had fun.
Other stuff
I was pondering Geodude's comments about WHTC radio here in Holland and, honestly, I don't know how the station stays on the air. I think it might be the sports the station broadcasts. I listen to the Detroit Lions and Detroit Red Wings through this station, and it also plays the Holland Blast basketball, Hope College basketball (men and women) and football and high school sports. I bet there's money there.
And I think the unprofessional, racists comments reflect a large part of the Holland community anyway. Diversity is only OK when African Americans, Hispanics and Asians stay within acceptable "white" limits, that is, they all act white.
Hey, now that ought to get people talking!
I haven't been bicycling yet this season. Too cold and snowy. We had about 2 inches of snow Friday and it's still below 32 degrees this Saturday morning.
I am doing a blog for work about cycling. You can check that out at www.hollandsentinel.com, then click on the Blogs button and look for my face. I look pretty pissed off in the picture. I guess that's my natural state.
Thought: I want to put the snow shovel away!

I don't know much about the Holland community, so I'll take your word for it.
As for ethnic groups acting within "white" limits, sure there are certain stereotypes for different groups, some of which appear to be based in limited fact, but why can't we all act like 'people'? The melting pot ain't melting, it's just globs of differentness that are legally accommodated, must be celebrated, and are kept from melting together.
And to help you get people talking (typing), remember that it is always OK to pick on 1) whites, as we are supposedly still the majority and therefore no other groups have the power to be bigoted against us, 2) men, who while actually a minority supposedly have all the power (do Nancy Pelosi and Condeleeza Rice know this? or our wives?) and therefore women don't have the power to be bigoted, and 3)Catholics, because they don't cut peoples' heads off for offending them (remember 'Piss Christ'? or the elephant dung Madonna?).
OK, now at least I'm talking. Maybe this will liven up the blog. And just for your bicycling pleasure, I wish you enough global warming to get you out on the road again!
