randomness

Haven't been much in the mood to write since my explosive vowel movement of "Mag.Frakking.Nificent." a couple of days ago. Guess I'm having a bit of a BSG withdrawal (not the absence of it as much as the knowledge that there will be no more... and now, Caprica doesn't look like it will do it for me [though The Plan loogs OK]).

Family visit from the weekend was nice (though the reason--GG's declining health--was less than joyous). Kinda got the subject of mortality going (even from Pa).

Kyle's water polo games from Sunday, in the sun and wind and cold, resulted in not much more than severe sunburns... the games were marginal... Kyle didn't play well, and it just seemed to be a case of biding time.

The coach sent out Hungary list, and Kyle's name was not on it. No one's hugely disappointed; we all saw it coming. And some of us are relieved (with the economy being what it is, sending him to Europe was more a burden than a joy). The only downside is that Kyle's not as enthusiastic about polo at the moment... don't know if it's a let-down or if it's his recent success in swimming that has caused its decline in the priority list. I just hope that it's temporary.

Jack received an award yesterday for excellence in English reading... that was nice... especially at the beginning of his birthday week.

It's going to be an exhausting week... water polo tonight in SB (I'm driving the carpool). Pretty tired now. Let's see what it's like at the end of the week...
