And it seats aprox 58,000, so yeah, thats just over double the population of my town.

I thoroughly depressed myself last week. Worked myself all into a big, ugly funk. Why?
It began by my eldest son deciding that he wants to try and complete his highschool work and graduate when he is 17. This is approximately 1 1/2 years away. At most, he plans on it taking 2 years. 2 years from now, he'll be TheBroadroom.Nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474971338995816520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658461.post-1098630047062992782004-10-24T09:49:00.000-05:002004-10-24T10:00:47.063-05:00phoeey.
I really, truly meant it when I said I wanted to blog more. I meant it, I intended to buckle down and do it, I wanted to do it. In the end, I didn't, obviously. That tends to be my standard MOA, lots of good intentions, ideas, plans, plots, etc but in the end inertia tends to win out.
I want to stop doing this. I NEED to stop doing this.
