"Endless rain into a paper cup"

I feel like I'm treading water. Exhausted most of the time, just trying to stay ahead of my work. The semi-stressful Easter weekend -- notably not making it down on Friday night and having to get up bright and early on Saturday -- certainly didn't help.

Perhaps this weekend of fun will allow me to catch up on rest and relaxation as Wilbe and Ricker come up for some March Madness. I am scheduled to take a half-day off on Monday to rest-up after a late night on Sunday so that won't hurt.

One of these days I have to squeeze in my taxes and get those taken care of...blarf.

Anybody see the Mayor of Detroit on the news? He pleaded "Not Guilty" to 12 felony charges brought against him for:

• Firing two police officers who were investigating an affair he was having with his chief of staff.
• Lying under oath about the affair.
• Lying under oath about the firing of these police officers.
• Settling out-of-court with those police officers in the amount of $9 million dollars worth of Detroit taxpayer money.

This has been going on since January when the Detroit Free Press published excerpts of literally thousands of text messages between he and his chief of staff during the time of their affair. It's been really ridiculous and I'm glad they've chareged him. He needs to do time for these crimes. It's national news right now...
