Geese

We're getting towards mid May and the weather is heating up, but I still hear and see Canadian geese.

I thought they spent the summer in Canada, and they still might, but at least some of them are still here.  Maybe they're race fans.

Pacers Pull One Out

The Pacers are struggling through the NBA playoffs after being the best team in the league for much of the season, but they won a big game last night.

Hopefully, they're struggling because they're looking ahead to Miami, and they'll play better then.  If not, if they get past Washington, the Heat would blow the Pacers out.

Doing Better With The Mouse

For a while, I was having a hard time manipulating the computer mouse.  It was becoming a chore.

Recently, however, I've been doing much better.  I've found it's partly a matter of where my chair is positioned.  It needs to be over near the mouse so I don't have to reach for the mouse.

Odd Question

This happened again at supper last night.  When I turn the television to, say, a baseball game, an aide will often ask me if I like baseball.  Or football. or basketball, or westerns, or whatever.

If I didn't like baseball or whatever, why would I put that on my television?

Shopping

Jeff Davies and I went shopping SAM's Club Friday.  By car, it only took a couple minutes to get there.  I could get there in my power chair in a reasonable time except there aren't any sidewalks along the way, and the connecting street seems fairly busy.

Maybe there's a back way.  We'll see.

Citizen Yodit

My aide Yodit and her husband were sworn in as U. S. citizens yesterday.  She told me the government holds such swearing in ceremonies when there are enough people to justify it.  It so happens she didn't have to wait too long for hers.

Yodit is happy, and I'm happy for both of them.

My Bucs

My beloved Pittsburgh Pirates made the playoffs last year after twenty years of losing seasons, but they're struggling so far this season.  They aren't hitting.

Hopefully, they'll get things turned around.
