NFL Draft

The NFL draft starts tonight, but I haven't heard much about the Colts' plans.

I'd like to see them move up and get a top guy.

Amazon

I got an email from Amazon yesterday saying the book I ordered over the weekend has been shipped.

It was a really efficient process, better than the book clubs I use.

Skunk

It seems we have a skunk in the complex.  My aide opened the sliding door this morning, and I smelled that smell.

So, we not only have a skunk, we have a scared skunk.

Colts Draft

The NFL Draft is later this week.  My nephew Ben is really into that, and he says the Colts' first pick will be an offensive lineman.

That makes perfect sense to me.

New Scheduler

I'm getting a new scheduler at one of the aide companies.  The old one used to be my aide, so I trusted her.

I hope the new one does as good a job.

Foundation

The group that created and held the Next Giant Leap conference in Hawaii last year, of which I am a part, is now trying to form a foundation to continue to push our ideas.

I won't leave children behind when I die, but maybe I can leave something.

Bathroom Visits

My aides often spend more time in the bathroom when they're here than I do.

There's nothing wrong with that.  In fact, it's an encouraging change from when I used to spend hours in there trying to go.

Aide Company

An aide told me last night that one of the companies that supplies my aides has been named one of the best small companies in the state.

That surprised me, frankly, but more power to it.

Tim Tebow

It seems Tim Tebow is getting a chance to make the Philadelphia Eagles as a quarterback next season.

I hope it works out for him.  I'd love to see him shut some people up.

New Battery

It looks like I need a new battery for my power chair.  This battery supposed to be replaced in December, 2013, but I got an extra year out of it.

So, I probably won't be going out after supper for a while.

Pacers

The Pacers missed the playoffs, losing the last game of the season.

They had some major injuries, however, and they did a good job getting as close to the playoffs as they came.

TV Remotes

I'm having trouble with both of my TV remote controls.  One won't do anything, and the other won't control the volume.

It's frustrating.

BBC America

BBC America has removed BBC World News from its lineup.

It's odd.  The BBC is known worldwide for its news division.

Visit

My brother Jon, his wife Angela, and their little girl Callie came over to visit yesterday.

It was good to see them.

Baseball

The baseball season is off to a solid start.

My Pirates lost three games to the Reds, but they'll be fine.

Sucking

I'm having trouble drinking lately.  My mouth isn't working well.  It's hard to get it around the stem of the sippy cup so I can suck.

It's frustrating.

Weather Warning

I got a severe weather warning on my new cell phone this morning just before the same warning appeared on television.

That is going to be annoying.

Duke

Duke won the national championship last night, beating Wisconsin in a worthy title game.

Wisconsin had the game under control late in the second half, but couldn't close it out.  Duke made the shots when they counted most.

Dachshunds

I've noticed recently several television commercials are featuring dachshunds.

I've had three dachshunds in my life, and I love them.

On Wisconsin

I picked Wisconsin to win the men's college basketball championship from the start, and they're still in it.  So, I'm sticking with them.

It'll be Wisconsin and Duke in the final game.

Spring Weather

We're supposed to have heavy rain today and tomorrow, and possible snow flurries this weekend.

But, hey, major league baseball's regular season opens Sunday night, so all is well.

BBC

I was watching BBC World News this morning, and it had a report on the controversy surrounding Indiana's religious objection law.

So, we've hit the big time.
