For some reason I fell asleep while watching a movie this afternoon. So I took a nap for a couple of hours. I’m not feeling sick or anything – I have no idea why I fell asleep. I guess the movie was pretty bad! But now I can’t sleep and here it is after 2:00 am and I’m sitting at home bored out of my mind.

There was a major earthquake in Chile. So soon after the terrible devastation from a major earthquake in Haiti is very disconcerting. The loss of life was tremendous in Haiti – over 100,000 people died. But early reports from the 8.8 quake in Chile is more hopeful – less than 100 have died. Chile gets a lot of credit for having tough building codes and being better prepared to deal with earthquakes than Haiti.

The cold weather is taking its toll on our heating bill. The bill for December just came today and it is almost $400. At this rate, all the utility bills added together are now higher each month than the mortgage payment. So even when I get this house paid off it is going to cost me a lot of money to keep the lights on and the water flowing.

Baseball has always been a big part of our lives, our first date was to a baseball game in Arizona. We have went to games in St Louis and Chicago in the last few years and I want to go to more. I am a huge St Louis Cardinals fan and I would go to the end of the earth to see a Cards game. My wife loves the part of the game that has to do with the tight pants they players wear and he also like to travel so she is the perfect companion to go with me to a baseball game. Go Cards!
