All my coaches have been on vacation, out of town for work, or schedule conflicts with teams they manage. In the last week I've done three practices on my own and today the reality kicked in. Got home and put on the ice bag after downing a hydrocodon from a stash I had ratholed after a surgery and found I didn't need them then. That was good thinking on my part, for a change.

Was ready to go to the hifi store later in the day and the wife calls and says the lovely Dodge Caravan won't start. She had taken the youngest to football registration and was now stranded in the parking lot. Grabbed my jumper cables and went to the rescue. Jump wouldn't do it-that battery was dead dead. Piled all of us in the Gorgeous Ford Ranger and headed off to the nearest Sams. Enroute, the Ranger's "check engine" light came on. Great. Went ahead and bought two batteries. The guy said it was a 2 hour wait to have them swap batteries. Great. I borrowed the tools and did it myself. Stopped at a nearby Home Depot and bought an adjustable wrench and went to save the Dodge. Got to the parking lot at the football fields and the gates were locked! Well ***** me. Had the wife and kid exit the truck and proceeded down a lengthy embankment. Kinda touchy for a few moments, they really don't want people there but criminy, what was I supposed to do? Finally got the battery changed and prayed that this was really the issue, and it was. Drove around looking for a way to get both vehicles out of the locked lot and found a path that wasn't too bad and managed to do it without rolling either vehicle. Now I'm back here wondering what's next. God I hope we're having something decent for supper.

Oh yeah, and today I played:
Bloc Party-The Black Sessions- 15 awesomely recorded live tracs!
Pet Shop Boys-Very. A classic or only a synthpop classic?
Pink Floyd-The Wall Live-HDCD via newtrix-thanks again man. Hoping that I get The National live today which in the end would make it a very good day after all.

Hley jc,

Sounds like anything but leisure is dominating your day. Whew!!
Tonight you should take another hydrocodon or libation of choice and just chillax with your wife and some music, once the kids are in bed.

You've earned it buddy.

Hope tomorrow's a better day,
