Pardon the interruption

Sorry I've been away these past few days but it was unavoidable.

I noticed the title of my last post was "So long heat". Boy is that ironic. Today it was no less than 97 degrees. I went to the gym this morning and didn't leave the air conditioning since. It looks as if next week will offer more of the same. The forecast calls for 90s throughout. Hello summer.

So Long Heat

Summer hasn't even started yet and we have had more 90 degree days so far this year than all of last year. I think the past 10 days have all been 90 degrees here in Chicago. That's all about to end though. Beginning Wednesday our highs are only expected to be in the low 70s. That will be refreshing.

Don't get me wrong though, I love a good hot summer day. Most especially after suffering through these Chicago winters. We could use a good bit of rain too.

Those Not-So Mighty Yankees

Wow! What a difference a day makes. I was writing yesterday how well my nephew's baseball team was doing and Pow! they got crushed today. 12 - 2 was the final score and it would have been worse if it wasn't for the game being called in the 4th inning because of the slaughter rule.

My White Sox (the big league variety) blew their game last night too. They brought a 1 - 0 lead into the 9th and promptly gave it away to the Padres, effectively ending a 6 game winning streak. They're back at it today, so if we can take this one we'll win the series. I'll take that.

Those Mighty Yankees

No not the New York variety, I'm talking about my nephew's little league team. Big win today against the Cubs. I believe the final was 8-1 (had to leave early bacause my Dad was feeling tired). My nephew Danny went 2 for 3 and had 5 RBIs. Tomorrow will be the real test though. We face the Red Sox who are without a doubt the best team in the league.

Chicago Heat Wave

Wow it's been warm here in Chicago. I think today will be the 5th or 6th consecutive 90 degree day. It doesn't look as if the heat is going to break any time soon either. This just may be a sign of things to come. We have already had more 90 degree days so far this year than all of last, and it's only June 10th.

Don Imus is Cranky

I am watching Don Imus on MSNBC and once again, surprise, surprise, he is cranky. This time it's his eye that is bothering him. I think I have to stop watching TV in the morning and concentrate more on my work.

I guess sportscaster Sid Rosenberg was fired for yet another tastless comment. Boy that guy had about a million chances but blew them all. Oh well, you can't help someone who won't help themself. Apparently this particular comment involved a woman with breast cancer and it really was offensive. So much so that I won't repeat it here.

Google Adwords

Now here is a frustrating endeaver, Google Adwords. In the pay per click game keywords are everything and google has a horrible habit of disabling mine.

With any luck at all I'll find success with Revenue Insider and I won't have to chase Adword income anymore.

Anyone There?

I've been posting on this blog for over two weeks now and have yet to see any of the search engines visit. How long does that take? Are they mad at me? I hope not because I surely would like to see them stop by.

Search engines are apparently very fickle animals and from what I understand Google is the most mysterious. What do they look for anyway. I don't get it.
