It’s always fun to have some time off in the summer. I’m looking forward to getting away from the newspaper and the radio show in the next few weeks. The summer is always a good time to re-charge the batteries and get ready for the upcoming football season, although there are some good stories to be done in June, July and August.
Once the Shockers’ baseball team was knocked out by UC Irvine, a little lull started. Today, for instance, I played golf. I’ve been getting some errands done around the house, including having a new garage-door opener installed yesterday. Is that great or what?
As I write this I’m watching the Royals-Cardinals and witnessing yet another pitiful Cardinals pitching performance by starter Kip Wells. He was given a 4-1 lead but promptly blew up in the second inning. I think it’s time to release Wells, who could lose his 11th game tonight. KC leads 7-4 at the moment but it could get worse. It just got worse _ 8-4. It’s difficult to follow St. Louis this season because for everything good that happens, two things go bad. But the Cardinals have had a pretty nice run the past 10 years or so, so I guess it’s a little selfish to expect every season to be good.
I’m not that interested in the Cleveland-San Antonio game tonight. That series is over. I’ll give it a look later to see if the Cavaliers might win just one game, but I fully expect the Spurs to win the championship tonight.

Bob I heard your going through Montana soon. I recommend going through the Blackfoot rez and then on through to Glacier Natl Park. This area borders Canada. You can do this by taking I-15 to Shelby, and then go west on U.S. hghwy 2. On U.S. 2 you will see the flattest land you will ever see (even flatter than some parts of Kansas), and then bam out of nowhere come the Rocky Mountains of Glacier Natl. Park. It is one site to see.
Take care and have fun!!!
