Today is finally a warm day! I am going to go out and play some cage soccer. Here in the city they have these cage soccer 'fields' about the size of a basketball courts. It is way better than regular soccer. I am listening to the Inaugural Address of JFK right now, and it is so inspiring. Along with the good weather, it is really inspiring. I don't think that I am going to get anything done today. Maybe a little shopping, but not much more. I do, however have a good movie recommendation: Sophie Scholl. It is a German movie, but I bet it will be in the artsy theaters there. I saw it without knowing anything about it, but I really liked it (even though the projector broke about 5 minutes from the end, and we all had to go into the next theater to watch the end, and then I just missed the last train and had to take a taxi home) .
Man, I wish you could listen to this speech! I wish politicians would talk like this today. On an unrelated matter, I found a cool pool hall in my neighborhood. I think I am going to start going there pretty regularly.

1. Leave it to an American president to inspire you to go shopping.
2. See Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior as soon as possible.
3. We will have a billiards match. Practice good.
I remeber hearing his speech as he delivered it and it was inspiring. He made us feel as though we could change the world and make it a better place. I feel so sad that politics today do not inspire in that way, maybe we have all gotten to cynical. Although Obama seems to have a simiilar effect on people, so maybe there is hope! I also remember the intense sense of loss when JFK was killed. It was a loss that felt personal.
On your other topic - just what a mother wants to hear - her son is going to be spending lots of time in a pool hall! However, if you inherited any of my dad's genes, you should be great at the game.
But just as I say
It takes judgement, brains and maturity
To score in a balk-line game
I say that any boob can take and shove a ball in a pocket
And I call that sloth,
The first big step on the road
To the depths of deg-ra-day--
I say, first- medicinal wine from a teaspoon,
Then beer from a bottle
An' the next thing ya know,
Your son is playin' for money
In a pinch-back suit.
Is he starting to memorize jokes from Capt.
Billy's Whiz Bang?
Are certain words creeping into his conversation?
Words like "swell"?
And "so's your old man?"
Well, if so my friends,
Ya got trouble,
Right here in River city!
With a capital "T"
And that rhymes with "P"
And that stands for Pool.
Remember the Maine, Plymouth Rock and the Golden Rule?
Oh, we got trouble
We're in terrible, terrible trouble
That game with the fifteen numbered balls is the devil's tool!
Oh yes we got trouble, trouble, trouble!
With a "T"! Gotta rhyme it with "P"!
And that stands for Pool!
Obama for President in 2012!!!!!!
