Not much happening this afternoon. The President’s Cup is on the tube and I’m just wondering what everybody is so worked up about? The American team has perhaps some reason to be so tied up in emotional knots about it. They are representing their country. But what are the guys on the other side representing? Not America? They are from countries all over the world some of whom probably would like to beat each other in let’s say soccer much more than they care about beating a bunch of Americans in golf.

When they are jumping up and down and high-fiving each other what’s it about? We are the world? We beat the Americans? Who cares. Maybe it should be America vs Japan or American vs France. That would be worth a laugh at least.

The world is going to lose in any case. The Americans are playing well and having a good time. But this is not the United Nations and the whole thing makes no sense.

My NextGen Gallery plugin started working again. God bless the guy who updated it. It hasn’t been working for months and there is no way this blogger was going to fix it. It’s the same deal with all these plugins. Wordpress is updated and the plugins don’t work. The plugins are updated and then they work again unless the guy who made the plugin decides he would rather go play golf or he has a new girlfriend.

It just goes on like this and it drives me crazy. Is this any way to run a blog? I doubt it. But who cares?

Blogging is not the new thing that it was a year or two ago. It’s a fad and it’s just about run its course. There are still lots of bloggers around of course. But the general population is more interested in playing golf on their cell phones and texting their friends about their favorite fantasy football player.

So here we are in Atlanta and it was supposed to rain all weekend but the sun refuses to go away. B went to Centennial Park yesterday evening for a two mile walk with thousands of other walkers to support finding a cure for cancer. I stayed home and watched Virginia Tech beat Boston College so bad they will never forget it.

B told me everybody got balloons that lit up while they were walking. Maybe there were little light bulbs in them. Durn it. Must have been a real photo opportunity in the fading light. This is what happens when you stay home because you don’t want to walk several miles. You lose.
