And I really dislike my haiku tonight, maybe I'll be able to think of how to fix it before I post this up.

I got to sleep last night a little after midnight, and didn't get up until 11:30 this morning. No problems through the night, and none today, either, except for this really tired feeling that I have that doesn't seem to want to go away.

And for the first time, my arm has gone a whole day without hurting.

Well, I wrote that, then I tested the arm, and, well, I lied, it's still hurting.

I was kinda wanting to go out to the bar and see Jody and Lee Ann, but I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm to get cleaned up and ready... and there's also the fact that I'm not smoking. Which I just decided tonight, in fact. Out of cigars, and I thought that I had some in my coat, but I didn't, so it's either go buy some or stop. Anyway, bars=smoking to me, so it would have been a bad night to go out there. Maybe tomorrow.

There is never a good time to quit smoking, and there is never a bad one. There is only time, and time is *not* on my side.

Watched KU win their round-ball game tonight, they surprised me a bunch by winning so handily. Next game Sunday against whoever wins the other semi-final game tonight, then on to New Orleans and the Final Four if they win the next one. I wonder if Kim will win tickets again....

The Kansas legislature surprised the hell out of me... they didn't pass an anti-gay marriage bill. The bill would limit marriage to that of a man and a woman, and they and only they could reap the benefits accrued upon marriage. If they would have passed it, it would have gone on the ballot in November.

Somebody recently said (somewhere on the web) the polls are not the place for moral issues... the courts are. And maybe the legislature. The majority *doesn't* rule, the constitution rules!

And I've been hearing good reports of Newdnow's conduct and deportment at the supreme court hearing on the pledge on Wednesday.

And I heard a prominent, well-known repiglican commentator (so well-known that I've forgot his name, the crossfire guy, the old one, not Tucker) say that GW was in trouble right now. Warmed the cockles of my heart, that did.

My heart, it needed to get it's cockles warmed, it did.
