Hi everybuddy.
Both my folks and myself won't be available for use of the tickets for the Arkansas/ UT game on September 27th. There are 4 tickets available.
If anyone is interested in obtaining the tickets, please let me know.

"Sunny" returns tomorrow
Hey, just a heads-up that League-favorite program "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" returns tomorrow on the FX network.
Official Link, which, I believe, shoots loud, loud music at you. So be careful.
"Sunny" is definitely not to everyone's taste, but, by gosh, it is to mine. Just, uh... clear the kids out of the room before watching.
I confess to a special fondness for Kaitlin Olson's character, "Sweet Dee". The character seems to channel Jamie at times, particularly when exasperated or trying to prove the rest of the cast wrong, which occurs just about every episode, just as it occurs just about every day at League HQ.
Leaguers will be shocked to learn I like scrappy blondes
Due to the nature of many of Sweet Dee's better moments (the welfare episode is still a gem), Jamie will, no doubt, be horrified that I've made the comparison. But there you have it.

Superman Auctions Raise Goal (the rest is gravy)
Look, it's been a lousy week, news-wise. I don't even feel like talking about it. But here's a ray of hope:
The Siegel house exterior renovations can begin. Already.
There are still several huge auctions left, and they've already raised the $50,000 wanted to fix the exterior of the house. The balance will go toward re-doing the inside. Read the article here.
If you're filthy rich and want to bid on stuff, go here.
If that's a little rich for your blood, you can still donate a sack of money here.
I want to remind readers that Meltzer's new charity isn't just for the Siegel and Shuster Society. It's to remind people that Ordinary People Change the World.
Texas will be digging itself out from under the destruction of Hurricane Ike for a long, long time.
If you can, please think about giving to:
The Red Cross
The Austin Capital Area Food Bank
or other charitable organizations helping out evacuees

Comic Fodder Post
New post:
Superheroes should have super friends wherein I make an argument for a strong supporting cast and maybe a little less action.

Obama y Unicorn
Shoemaker mentioned the first picture to me, so I looked it up using search words "Obama Unicorn". This is what I found.
If you don't click on this for the full size, you are missing out
From the JibJab website.
I have no idea.
I like that I know who the "we" is now.
And this one is... interesting, but the "adult" end of the spectrum (sensitive eyes should not click).
Make of all of this what you will. I will find it awesome.
I told you this was going to get dumber before it got better.

Ike (and: I am right. Occasionally. About the weather)
Ike in my High School Hood
Some of you (Meredith) have been to my folks' neighborhood. Here's some Admiral-approved photos of damage in Cypresswood.
No idea how your old house held up, Mere. The Admiral mostly stuck to that end of the neighborhood where he lives, back by Mirror Lake.
This is actually a somewhat familiar site from my childhood. Hurricanes. Tornadoes. It's bizarre anyone lives in Houston, let alone its now the 4th largest city in the US.
September weather change
I always say "we get our first break in the heat around September 15th". And, sure enough, Austinites... when did we first see a dip in the warm air that had hung over Austin since July?
September 15th.
This week is in the 80's. Fall has begun to fall. Yes, as everyone tries to tell me, it will probably heat up again for a while in October. And, yeah, sometimes the cool front comes earlier. Sometimes later. But, as a rule of thumb, we get the first days when you can comfortably wear jeans outside and the air is in the 60's at night around September 15th.
yes, sometimes its hot as hell on Halloween. And sometimes it has literally hit freezing on Halloween (1993), but in general...
I'm just saying. September 15th.
Last night I got Jason to put out his Halloween jack-o-lanterns. And that is just awesome.

West St. Paul
This has been stuck in my head for two or three days. Now it can stuck in your head, too.
A musical tribute to West St. Paul, Minnesota.
no thanks to Steven and Lauren for bringing this into my life and creating the endless loop in my head.
