Opening Day!

Ok, all you Kalifornians and Arizonans, you probably don't get it. So you can just continue on to the next post.

Ok. We're left with mostly St. Louisans, right? Is this not one of your most favorite days of the year? I don't know about you but I start looking forward to Opening Day starting around Super Bowl time. The anticipation, the excitement, the hype, the SEA OF RED! I love it!

But you know what? I've never been to one! Even when I worked at the Sverdrup building right across from the stadium, the closest I ever came was walking to lunch at Kiener Plaza then going to the game after they open the gates in the 8th inning.

And this isn't the year to start. Brrrr!

Ok so next year. I'm gonna go. Who's with me?

Greg, piss off. You're not invited. Go watch men's figure skating or something.

Oh yeah, and a big hello to Mayor Slay and/or staff. Thank you for joining the crap pile that is this website. I'm still pissed aboot those cameras, eh.

The Kelley News Reel (Andy Update!)

I've either been too sick or too busy to make any significant posts lately, so here goes.

First Andy. We went to the hospital yesterday to meet the surgeon. Seems like a nice guy. He has no problems getting the boy's port out. He was more concerned about the hernia that started it all. Left alone this type of hernia could potentially cause bowel blockage and ultimately... well.. we don't need any more problems.

So they did an ultrasound on Andy who was extremely well-behaved during the procedure. No meds necessary to get him to sit still even!

Once the surgeon looks at the ultrasound he'll decide if Andy still needs to have the hernia fixed. Either way we'll get his surgery scheduled soon.

At the hospital people kept stopping us in the hall to say hello to the little boy in the car who's no longer in the car. A couple of people recognized him from the billboard.

We went to the 4th floor. They were really excited to see him and how healthy he is. One thing I noticed in our stay there was that they always like to see their recovered kids. The fruits of their labor really.

In other news Joey's home! He had a great time. My dad claims they went sightseeing. Joey said they got lost and drove all over Kansas City. All a matter of perspective.

It's looking like shank or be shanked for Joe. Public school for kindergarten and probably first grade. I'm thinking by the time we have 2 in school and 1 at the babysitter we should be able to afford private school.

Joey lost another tooth! It happened while boxing with my brother. Ha!

Emma. What can I say? She's our Em! It still amazes me how fast she is picking up on things just from doing whatever Joey does. She sure looks up to her big bubba.

On the Kandian front, Greg's wife caught him in bed with a man.

On the radom neuron side of things, I do not exceed the speed limit on the highway. If I'm driving across state and the speed limit is 65, I go 65. Not sure why. I just do. Actually yes, I know why. With every action I take on the road, I ask myself, "Can I afford a ticket?" If the answer is no, I don't do it.

Julie's grilling kick continues. Every time I turn around the BBQ pit is fired up. I'm definitely not complaining!

Let's see.. Sports. Why can't the NL win? Why? Why? For the love of hell, guys! Win a damn game! Screw the yankees! Screw the sox!

Economy! Gas prices should be either at their highest point of the year or almost there. Assuming no hurricanes, war, or other uncontrollable significant factors.

Nuke Kanada!

Happy Cards Day!

For those of you not in St. Louis, today is a civic holiday. Opening day. Many take off work to go downtown even if they don't have tickets. I couldn't because I had a major rollout of a project for work. And because I don't have enough time off.

So far the rain is staying away.

Pujols already has his first homer of the season. All is well with the world.
