The more I like dogs.

Probably the worst thing about breaking up with someone is that you don’t have that physical closeness anymore. You can’t reach out for his hand and get a squeeze back. You can’t walk in the door and get a hug. And the bed seems vast without him lying beside you.

But then again, you don’t get punched in the face or have your arm wrenched so hard it feels like it will splinter before he lets go. You don’t get pushed into the wall so hard the sheetrock caves in. And you don’t have to crawl around in the grass on your hands and knees in the dark trying to find your car keys after he grabs them out of your hand and throws them across the yard.

I would rather have a dog to keep me company than to put up with him.

A good old fashioned baseball game sounds really good about now. Tickets are only $10 for reserved seats, so a family of four can go and buy hot dogs and cokes and stil be well under $100 for the night.

The City has a triple A team called, “The Sounds,” which is a nice tie-in to “Music City.” This team has the really good, young players that have a chance to get drafted up to the major leagues if they do well in this league. The Milwaukee Brewers are keeping the Sounds going as a farm team for their players. So there is a good chance that the player you see at a Sounds game will soon be playing for the Brewers.

One of the odd things about computers and the internet is the constant change. We are always being told that there is a better way. It’s faster, cheaper, smaller, bigger, more secure, easier, more intuitive, etc., and we must have it. Even if we are happy with the current version, we are pretty much forced into accepting the new versions because the companies stop supporting the older versions or they become incompatible with what everyone else is using.

I need to upgrade my version of the blogging software that I’m using. I barely figure out how to install it in the first place. Now I have to spend how many hours learning to install an upgraded version. I don’t like risking everything I’ve done on a failed upgrade. Can’t we just keep what we’ve got and go on?
