Mom is slated to get back to her house on Saturday now. I'm not entirely happy with how a few things have gone at the transitional care place, but I'll just be happy that she has progressed enough to get sprung in a few days. I know that she was in the best spirits in a long time today and more normal in strength and lucidity now that they are stepping her down from the narcotics.
The Twins begin a big series tonight at home against the Yankees. The Yankees have been hotter than the Twins lately and so I'll make no predictions here. The Twins got swept in four games at the new Yankee Stadium back in May. They lost four games by a total of five runs and three of them were 9th inning or later walk-offs by the Evil Empire. It was brutal. Both teams were struggling going into the series, but the Yankees emerged as the team that had gotten its act together. Now it's time to see if the Twins can do the same.
Robert S. McNamara passed away yesterday. I'm glad that I didn't do the post that first sprung to mind yesterday, me in my foul mood from getting bullshitted at mom's care conference. I'll wait until the man is buried before I say anything else, but I see shades of that "Best and Brightest" hubris at work today.
It occurred to me today that it has been remarkably quiet on the Brett Favre front. I know I've been distracted lately, but did I miss something big? It's quiet out there...too quiet.
I have lots of thoughts about our political culture and discourse these days. I can't seem to find a way to write them down without being angry. I had hoped that the election of Obama would have eased some of the vitriol and profound lack of integrity from some of the louder voices on the left, but that's not the case. Were those tactics that have become habit, or are they just showing what they have always been?
So, is it safe to watch the news now?
