18. July, 2003 - a couple weeks off

Last night’s game: Saints Bang Way Past Gary, 9-3. A good game, close early, and then not close at all when the Saints chased the Railcats’ starter. Plus I got to take three gals to the ballgame. Woo! And now, two weeks off, unless I decide to climb into the car and drive to Winnipeg to see the Saints play up there this weekend. I’ve been threatening that all week, but here it is Friday morning and I still haven’t decided for sure. I think that means I’ll probably be staying home, since I’d need to leave in the next hour or so if I were going, and I think I probably need to rest more than I need more baseball.

House proposal targets file swappers, making shaing even a single file a felony with a sentence of up to five years in prison and a quarter-million-dollar fine. More here from Wired. Bad idea. Bad. No surprise that Conyers (D-MI) and Berman (D-Disney) are behind it.
