Blame It On the Rain (Yeah, Yeah)

So here it is, 7pm and I haven't got a blog post up.


Well you see, there was this storm.  With lots of wind.  And rain.  And we lost internet.  And electricity.


So I couldn't blog.  


The end.


Except for I wasn't at home for any of that.  I was one of the numbskulls out driving in it, trying to get home.  All 5 of us.  In 2 vehicles.  


My poor judgement aside, I still can't use the storm as an excuse, now can I?


I spent my limited internet time today productively, though.  


I did some interesting reading about the Duggars.


Which got me nosing around on their website, where I found this handy chart of character traits, defined.


I also spent some time researching for a project I'm working on.  And came up with this little list:

Basic French / English words:


Oui (wee) = yes
Non (nong) = no
S’il vous plait (seel voo play) = please
Merci (mair -see) = thank you
Bonjour (bong-zhoor) = hello
Au revoir (oh rer-vwahr) = goodbye
Excusez-moi (ex-kewzay mwah) = excuse me

Does anybody speak French?  How'd I do?

I also learned there are about 3 different ways to say excuse me, depending on if you have interrupted someone, stepped on their foot, or committed some other offensive behavior.  

And now if you will excusez-moi, my baseball team is on tv.  They've won 5 in a row, and my guys are all gathered around.  I think I'll join them.  And enjoy the rain that is still pouring down.  'Cuz the rain don't care.  Yo.
