August 3 = Happy Bday Nathan!!!! (My nephew's first b-day!)

Ditto. The one thing I am looking forward to is Pre Cana that Brian and I have to attend next year. I have a feeling it will be interesting, if nothing else.

Ron Pearlman being HellBoy was enough to get me to watch it. The acting and writing was a blast.

Brian and a couple of his friends had the misfortune to be stopped by some cops in Harvey when he was about 20. They just left the junkyard (they are all gear heads) and the cops were convinced they were there to buy drugs. I guess they thought the car parts (and receipts) were just a cover. Brian said that it didn't bother him to be stopped because he knew too many idiots from HS that did just that - drive to rough parts of town to get drugs. The only thing that did bother him was after they tore his friend's car apart (literaly) to find the drugs (they found nothing but grease, car parts and tools) they still dragged them to the station and held them there for a couple hours.

Okay...tears welled up from that. Thanks for sharing the story.

Husband of Missing Utah Woman Is Arrested Husband of Missing Utah Woman Is Arrested 28 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By MARK THIESSEN, Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY - Police arrested the husband of a missing pregnant woman Monday on a charge of aggravated murder, saying they had enough evidence even though her body has not been found. Lori Hacking disappeared July 19, when Mark Hacking told authorities she failed to return from an early morning jog. Since then, the husband's timeline and credibility have slowly unraveled. "We're confident we have a good case here," Police Chief Rick Dinse said Monday. Dinse said investigators have "the instrument of death" but would not say what that was. He said investigators believe Lori Hacking was killed in her apartment. "We believe that Mark Hacking is responsible for her disappearance and her death," Dinse said. Formal charges have not been filed against Hacking, 28. By law, prosecutors have 72 hours to file formal charges or release him. D. Gilbert Athay, an attorney hired by Hacking's family, refused comment. Messages left by The Associated Press for Lori's father and Hacking's family members were not immediately returned. The investigation took a grim turn over the weekend when Lori Hacking's relatives asked volunteers to stop looking for her in response to new information from her husband, and investigators said they would focus their search on the county landfill. A statement from the family did not reveal what Mark Hacking told them, and Detective Dwayne Baird said only that it was "additional substantive information." Detectives believe 27-year-old Lori Hacking's body is in the landfill, where exhaustive searches using cadaver dogs have come up empty. Investigators plan to resume their search this week. Mark Hacking's credibility has crumbled since he reported his wife missing amid revelations that he lied to his wife about enrolling at medical school in North Carolina and about graduating from the University of Utah. "We believed very early in the investigation that she may have been a victim of a crime and her husband may have been responsible," Dinse said. Lori's car was found at a park where her husband said she went for a jog, and Dinse said police recovered evidence from it. He wouldn't elaborate. Other evidence that led to Hacking's arrest include items taken from the apartment and a nearby trash bin. Police have not said what those items were. Hacking was taken to a psychiatric ward on July 20, after he was seen running around at night naked in sandals outside a motel where he'd taken a room. He was arrested Monday before his scheduled release. Investigators focused on Hacking after learning he was at a store buying a new mattress just before reporting his wife missing. Investigators have refused to confirm reports that they found a mattress in a nearby trash bin. As Lori Hacking's relatives pleaded for information in the case, volunteers searched through neighborhoods, industrial areas and canyons around the park where she was said to have been jogging the morning she was reported missing.

We just saw it in Best Buy. Didn't have the money with us at the time, but we are planning on buying it.

That sucks. Did anyone else think of the episode of Family Guy where Brian becomes addicted to drugs while being a sniffer dog?

Happy bday!

8/3 is my nephew's first birthday!

Hellboy was awesome!

Which means I will probably end up liking it!

A little late (but better than never) prayers to you and your family. My dad had a health scare when I was 21 that helped him to clean up his life.

Did he walk him?

It's sad how true this is...

That's what I was guessing... Not sure I agree with the decision though, but what difference does that make? lol!

Why didn't Oz just let him bat then? Didn't Gload pinch hit?

I was just gonna ask the same question...

Well gang, I'm out. My Brain got home from work early (he put in 12 hrs yesterday so they only had to work about 5 or 6 today). Hopefully the Sox will remember what to do with their bats! I typed this a few minutes ago - see they know I am taking off! LOL!

I'm gonna fire up my Atari for computer and get in some Asteroids and Milipede.

I see Ron Francis was offered a front office job. No word on whether he accepted or not. I hope if/when he goes into the hall he goes as a Whale. Now, that would rock!

They just signed Justin Williams as well. They got a great young core, looking forward to the season (please let there be a season )... Just saw - Kevyn Adams is back as well!

Aeros!
