I don't know why I can't plant something in the garden every day. There are plenty of things going on in the world. I try to stay away from politics as the subject only kills the weeds. And so much of life has to do with politics nowadays. Unfortunately I have fallen behind when it comes to pop culture. I know U2 won a bunch of awards last night but I stopped listening to them fifteen years ago. How long do you think it will take before they are making fools of themselves during a halftime show? And that leads to the topic of sports. This is the absolute worst time of year for sports. What should we talk about the NBA or the NHL? Do they both still exist? All I know is that pitchers and catchers report next Thursday. But enough of athleticism, let's think about the Olympics. My favorite event has to be curling. There is little doubt in my mind that within the next 46 Olympic games curling will overtake figure skating in popularity. I mean, who in the hell wants to see little girls ice skate? Especially when you can watch 50 year-old men sweeping brooms down the sheet so the rock lands in the house. Okay, so maybe the luge is still more exciting, but can we just get rid of figure skating? Or at least combine figure skating with gymnastics? I'd like to see Kerri Strug do the parallel bars wearing razor sharp skates. That might get my attention.
