Almost Friday...But Not

So, I gotta talk about this, because it's ridiculous. Barry Bonds hit homerun number 756, which beat Hank Aaron's record of 755 I guess. Some dude from New York caught the ball, and now the IRS is saying it counts as income! The ball is worth 600,000 bucks, so that puts him in the highest tax bracket which, according to Yahoo, is 35%. He's gonna have to pay $210,000 even if he sells the stinkin ball! How can anyone in their right mind count that as income? That's ridiculous. If he kept that ball for three tax years, he'd end up paying more than it's worth in taxes! How stupid. Darn government. They're not that bad off.

So how's your day going? I know, it's still early. I'll bet at least a third of my readers are still asleep. But that's ok. Some of us have to get up early and go to work. I don't mind though. You know how boring it is not to have a plan for the day? The couple times I've been forced to stay home and not go anywhere, it's driven me crazy. Always gotta be doing something. That's why I got a rubik's cube. I can't solve it, but I can do designs and it's fun to fidget with. Something for my fingers to do. How do some people manage to sit still for extended periods of time? I don't get it.

This is a short post today, and I apologize to those of you that will be disappointed.

1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
5 The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.

Psalm 95:1-7
