REALLY important stuff that I MUST type before going to bed (or something like that...)
Just got back from visiting the in-laws (who will, weirdly, be coming here to visit in a week...) in Arcadia, Florida. Arcadia is a sad place. It has yet to recover from Hurricane Charley and street after street is filled with old tin-roofed homes held together by blue tarps. My in-laws will be moving soon, as they have really grown sick of the place.
There is a cool park across the street from them, though, where I repeated a longstanding ritual of mine: I threw roughly 400 pitches from the park's pitcher's mound into the backstop over the course of two days. With all of the throwing I did, I could've probably closed out the Yankees for the Mets tonight, who lost 5-4 to the (hah!) now-a-still-pitiful 38-37 Yankees. Meanwhile, my Red Sox have won 12 of 13. The Red Sox train in Fort Myers, where my in-laws (did I mention how much I love these people?) will soon be moving...
Thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision to overtake private property for community tax/development benefit: I'll agree that this is horrible idea, if you'll agree that government-backed TV and radio is a sketchy (and often dreadfully dull) idea, too. (Though I'm not holding my breath.) And, oh yeah, Amtrak, too.
The Chattanooga Film Blog is close to completion. I'm just adding some links and fine tuning some organizational aspects of the site.
I am almost positive that I tore something in my right knee. I can walk and run (and throw 400 pitches), but when I sit down and try to bend it, it starts to seriously hurt. My left knee has no such pain, and I can bend it even more than the right. Yes, I think a visit to a doctor is in order.
