TC the Terrible

Yesterday was the celebration of two years of wedded bliss for me and THE WOMAN. The actual date of our anniversary was over the weekend and we did dinner at one of the better restaurants in DuPont Circle, Mark & Orlando’s. The food was top notch (we ate from the ‘formal’ menu downstairs) and even with drinks and a heavy tip the price was right.

But THE WOMAN insisted we not exchange gifts on the official day, basically because what she had bought me was still in-route. My gift for her had been at the house for several days, but I agreed that we could wait. Long story short, and lots of her screaming at UPS Customer Service omitted, the package arrived yesterday so we got to exchange gifts.

Mine to her was pretty simple, the iPod Nano that she had dropping hints for all spring. But her gift to me was sensational. THE WOMAN found me a Sony turntable! Which is the coolest damned gift she could have gotten me. I’ve been bitching and moaning about the movers busting mine ever since we got to DC.

Bottom line, she ROCKS! I made a good choice when I picked her out of the crowd at RusssianBrides.com.

Welcome to Happy Anti-Christ Day. Can you believe that there are people out there doing shit to keep from having a kid today? I believe that the Lord and the Anti-Christ are going to wage all out war on Earth someday. But I don’t believe that having a kid born on 6/6/06 is going to have a damn thing to do with it.

The new guy is pretty much in the system now, except for payroll. That’s another story all in itself.

At what point do we declare that the hometown team is on a hot streak? Funny how five wins in a row is a big deal for the Nats, but is taken for granted with other teams.

It’s a damn shame that kids have to control their bladders at school. I mean with all the Dr. Spock kids that are now parents I’m amazed that any kids today get disciplined. Surely the ACLU will step in and make the schools let the kids go pee more often; education be damned.

Little Miss Wie missed another cut, in a men’s tournament. This is a kid with tremendous talent and could make a real run at history at some point. But why the hell force a 16 year old to compete out of her league? She has a shit load of potential but has yet to prove that she can hang on during the final day of a tournament. So far, she’s fallen off of every lead she’s had. Maybe she’s just not ready to play at this level.

THE WOMAN and I swapped anniversary gifts last night. I’ll tell you about that later, but let’s just say that she and I had a theme going.
