One of the things I've started to do to keep sane while I've been out of work is record the best late hockey game and watch it the following morning. So I settled down yesterday morning to watch the Colorado-Buffalo game. Everything was going along fine until about 5 minutes into the game Altitude flashed the final score of the game on the screen. Why in the world why would they do this?????? I know all sports fans have similar stories where you record a game and do everything to avoid finding out who won. Then somehow someone tells you had happened. I know in the big scheme of things its no big deal. But it is still annoying. I ended up going outside and reading in the yard. The weather was absolutely perfect, about 70 degrees and bright sunshine.
I am an unabashed conservative. And seeing republicans retake control of the House today was great. Politics are important to me. I've often told people I'd like to be the President. After the 2008 election it looked like conservatism was dead as a doornail. But over the last two years President Obama and a congress totally controlled by Dems have brought back repubs from the dead. I agree with alot of experts that said repubs did not win the election in 2010, dems just lost it. Sean Hannity is saying the repubs are on probation. I think he has hit it right on the head. The party needs to earn the trust of the people. If they do a good job I think they will take control of the Senate in 2012. And maybe even the White House. As for who I'll support in the primaries its too early to tell. As of now Chris Christie the Gov. of New Jersey is like a rock star. A Christie-Marco Rubio ticket perhaps.
Also yesterday the Hall of Fame voters voted to induct Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven. Both were good picks. Cooperstown is a very special place in Hirsch family history. Our first family vacation when I was 10 and Howie was 7 was to Cooperstown. I remember on one Christmas vacation I took a bus up there. It was great! The village was covered with snow. And I pretty much had the entire Hall to myself. And then right after Mom died me, Howie, Daniel, Devin,Jenny and Erik took a trip up there. I remember I was so proud of Daniel. There was a display were they had a picture of a stadium and you had to guess which Stadium it was. And to Howie's shock he got all of them. Another bucket list item is going to Cooperstown with Daniel, Devin if he ever gets into Baseball and my future grandchildren. And like I tell Daniel stories of Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and Gary Carter he can tell his children about Albert Pujols, A-Rod and maybe even young guys like Evan Longoria, Troy Tulowitski and David Wright. Baseball really does connect generations. I've seen it in my own family.
