Wha....???? They suspended the All Star Game after 11 innings in a 7-7 tie because they used all their players - both bullpens and benches were empty. The fans first booed the announcement when it was made at the beginning of the bottom of the 11th. After a while they all started chanting "Let them play! Let them play! Let them play!..." I mean, the fans showed up and paid good coin for this game - they should allow players to be "reused" since it's an exhibition game. Thank you, Bud Selig. Nice way to treat your hometown fans. And wait... no MVP??? Nice way to screwup a game.

A big shout-out to my cousin Jane who is back from her honeymoon (wedding pictures here), who actually stumbled onto this weblog from our other family website. (I've moved all of my stuff here from there - just wanted a place I can call my own, I guess.)

Well, I have to admit it was fun watching Al and Heather as well as Anderson getting drunk on wine for the Grape Game. The Assembly Line Game was OK, but the Night Ball Game was just a bit strange. Darwin is executed. I had my doubts earlier in the game about him, but I'm still set on Bill as The Mole right now.

I should have waited for the EMail to show up! PayPal contacted me to let me know the investigation is over and I should be receiving a new password (VIA SNAIL MAIL!) in 5 to 7 days. No indication on what the investiagtion found. Wonder how much of a hit this jackass took from my accounts.

So, I gave up and called PayPal this morning. They couldn't tell me anything, as the account is still under investigation. I had to leave voicemail for an investigator to call me. It's been way over 10 business days... what's going on over there?

1.08" of rain out in Hoffman Estates between 1 and 2 this morning (2.08" at O'Hare). It's the only rain this month. Shorted-out the GFI outlets in the house again. Ever since the cable guy borrowed a ground from the outlet on the back of the house, the circuit is blowing when we get a real heavy rain. I need to get this fixed.
