'If I Did It, Here's How It Happened'

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking KIDDING me??? OJ has written a book, y'all, and he's on the interview circuit premoting it. It's really called "If I did it"... What's the sequel "Here's how the investigating team screwed up" - or is it "How I murdered two people and got away with it?" Holy mother - is he serious? I mean, first you murder two people, get acquitted in 'the trial of the century' and now you're going to put this family through further hell and write a book about a hypothetical situation where you might have been the killer??? I love our legal system, I do. I think it's gotten a bit perverse over the years, but overall I love it. But right now, this double jeopardy thing has got to go. There's gotta be a loophole, doesn't there? Something our forefathers wrote in there for instances like this??? Seriously?

I know most of my readership isn't reading due to a death in our blogging family's real-life family. So let's send good vibes (lurkers - this means you) to our blogging family in their days of sorrow. And also a shout-out to my lovely aunt recovering herself from medical procedures out in Mon Valley....the Steelers must have known you were hurtin' Carol - they won just for you on Sunday. ;)

Did you guys realize I'm old? OLD. Alex will be a FRESHMAN next year. in HIGH SCHOOL. Seriously. Can't handle it. We went to the open house at the local private high school and wowzers. Gotta say - it's impressive. I did a side by side comparison of the ISTEP scores for the last 5 years for my alma mater, Kevin's, Ben's, our local school and the private school...it's unbelievable. Sorry to say - Kev-head's is the worst. Way worse than North Newton, even. Yes it's going to cost us - and no, it wouldn't be easier just to move. Alex is excited. Coming out of an 8th grade class of 14 he was amazed by the size of the building!

Reading the new Barack Obama book - I'm only one chapter in, but I gotta tell ya - I love this man.

Mom said you weren't too happy with the whole situation, I can imagine that would make for a crabby patient. :)

I hope you feel better and I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!

O. J. is a twit, he will get his in the end, trust me on this. I am plotting it as we speak.

I don't know who lost a loved one, but never the less, my thoughts go out to them
