From the Inside Out

The two ALC co-ed softball teams battled each other tonight for bragging rights, and the “One Life” young married’s group came out to cheer their favorite teams.  Well, some cheered and others heckled gently.  The teams aren’t so good.  They are both winless in the league.  However, the good news is that one team was finally guaranteed a win tonight. 

The ‘Sluggers’ took the early lead in the game against the ‘Ballers’ (what kind of name is that for a church team anyway?).  Although the Ballers put forth a valiant effort in the final inning, the Slugger’s lead carried them through the game.  If I remember correctly, the final score was 16-5.  Yeah, I know…it wasn’t a close game, but it was lots of fun. 

Go ALC! 

The Internet is abuzz once again with rumors of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson.  This time, everyone is talking about the couple being married.  

Here’s the story.  Simpson’s mom made an off-handed comment to a paparazzo when they were leaving a Chilis restaurant in L.A. this week.  She was asked when Jessica and Tony were going to get married.

“They already are, what are you talking about?” replied Simpson’s mom. 

He asks Jessica, “You guys already married?” 

Jessica and her mom laughed, and then Jessica says, “I guess, if mom says so.”

From the sound of it, they were just joking with an annoying paparazzo, but she has been dating Tony since last year.  I hope it’s not serious.  If it is, you can say goodbye to the Cowboys’ season this year.  

She single-handedly brought him down by attending one game last year.  Can you imagine what would happen if they were actually married?  Ugh!  I hear collective sighs from Cowboys’ fans echoing across the country. 

Seriously, what is he thinking?  Yes, she’s hot, but she is also a spoiled, immature diva. 

C’mon Tony…you can do so much better. 

Tonight was fun.  We went to a minor league hockey game with a few friends from our young married’s group at church.  The seats were close to the glass so we had a pretty good view of the action. Unfortunately, the Texas Tornadoes didn’t win, but the action was good and the fight was entertaining.  Other highlights are the humorous commentary by Gary (who had strangers 3 rows in front of us laughing), YMCA, the 70s dance line (even though they never caught us on the big screen), Gary and Jami “monkey walking” down the stairs, and the pictures.  All in all, it was a good evening.

Oh, and for those who may be wondering how the new Dell XPS 1330 is doing….well, the battery completely died on me last night.  Let’s see, it lasted about 10 days before failing.  I hope that’s not a sign of things to come with the rest of the hardware.  Dell is sending a new battery, so hopefully the new one will last longer.  Besides that, I’m really liking the new computer.  It’s very fast, and I like the compact size.  I was able to replace most of my applications with alternatives that run on Vista.  There are still a few that I’m missing, but hopefully, they’ll have a Vista version soon.  I’m even trying a few OpenSource alternatives.  I’ll let you know how that works when I have time to play with the applications more.
