Pete’s confession
So now, after all this time of denying that he ever bet on baseball, Pete Rose is confessing his sins against baseball.
Baseball’s all-time hit leader bet on baseball while he was managing the Reds. However disappointing this may be, we really kinda knew it happened.
What do you think this does for Pete, his standing in the baseball world, in the baseball record books or as a man? Why now, after all these years, give in and admit you bet on baseball Pete?
Whatever you believe, it’s all major publicity for his upcoming book. Was that the motivation for giving in? I guess we’ll find out Pete’s side of the story soon…looks like he has a tv interview sometime this Thursday.
Will baseball, and more importantly, the Commissioner forgive him? Stay tuned…

Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! A little late, I know but things have been busy lately. Sorry for the sparse postings through the holidays but hopefully things will quiet down a bit now.

Hopes for ’04…
Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season!!
Now we’re looking forward to 2004…the start of a new year!
What do you want to see happen in 2004? On a personal or global scale.
I’d like to keep in better touch with my friends and family. Sending out Christmas cards I realized there are some very dear friends that I basically only “talk” to once a year.

New Poll – comments
So I changed the poll and added this entry as a place to discuss the poll.
I, personally, am undecided. I feel there are too many things here to warrant a clear cut answer.
I don’t think the situation was handled well from the get-go, but once we were there, the operation was a huge success. Oh, except for not finding the weapons of mass destruction we were told were there. Then, Saddam was out of power, but what do we do now? A lot of US lives were lost after Saddam was removed.
Now, Saddam is captured…where do we go from here? Iraq is going to have to stand on their own two feet sometime so should we bring our men and women home now? I say yes.
Osama must be found for me to consider this thing a “success”.

Holiday travel
This time of year is also a time for travel…lots of travel. Thankfully, we aren’t traveling much this holiday season. It just worked out that everyone has come or is coming to see us for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
So what I want to know…how’s the traveling going? Any good stories or horror stories to share?

Early Christmas present…Saddam
Obviously, the big news story is the capture of Saddam Hussein. Now the tricky part begins since he is still alive. Where to have the trial? What should we do with him now that we have him?
Personally, I feel Osama bin Laden is a bigger threat to the US.
I guess I can change my poll now too! Yeah!

The Best of 2003…
This is the time of year when everyone looks back on the year that was…2003.
What things stick out in your minds as the best things of 2003?

Mary’s place in Christianity…
Here is an interesting link.
I recently read The DaVinci Code and have moved on to Dan Brown’s previous book, Angels and Demons.
Some of these theories are hard to swallow but do raise some interesting thoughts.

BCS…what the hell?
Good point Ed…
LSU is in a bad spot this week because if they lose there is no way they can make into the #2 spot and play for a National Championship. However, if they win, they also hurt their chances of moving up because because they’ll beat Georgia, a team they already beat this year and in doing so, weaken their own strength of schedule.
What the hell is wrong with this picture!?!?
