First, after writing about the fact that March 17 is the anniversary of the first date Linda and I were on, my mother couldn't wait to let me know that March 17 was the anniversary of the first date she and my father went on. Begorrah, it is truly a magical day for us Kennedy men.
Second, I learned several things about my father when I received this e-mail this morning:
Hi Don
I have A TOASTER THAT toasts heavy on one side of bread and very lightly on the other side.
If I send it to you could you fix it for us?
Love
Dad
First, I learned that he is a smart ass, which probably explains a lot about why I am the way I am. Second, I learned that he has a little trouble with the CapsLock key. And third, knowing how long it takes him to type, I know that he was willing to spend a massive amount of time just to send me an e-mail making fun of me. Which also explains a lot about me.
Well, I am going to teach him a lesson. I will not fix his toaster for him. He will just have to get used to one-side-soft toast the way the rest of us in the family do.
I also learned via the comment to the Hoop Dreams post that someone else who reads this is a Siena fan. They wrote: Go the Saints! Through round one. I'm rooting with you.
Unfortunately, I am not sure who wrote it, but my detective skills come into play here. At least to the extent that I am pretty sure this person is an American, since no Aussie would tell me they are rooting with me. The reason why is in this earlier post.
I watched the Siena game. It was very exciting as they came back from a big deficit and had to go through two overtime periods to win it. Unfortunately their prize for all that is to play the top seed in the tournament tomorrow, so I am only a little hopeful. Nonetheless, it was still great seeing them win.First, I learned that he is a smart ass, which probably explains a lot about why I am the way I am.

And finally the poll on the toaster held very little surprise.
55% said the toaster will be replaced with a new one
33% said it will remain the way it is and
11% said it will be fixed this week.
Interestingly, none of you thought it would blow up if I fixed it. But then that's probably because only one of you think it is going to be fixed. About all I learned from this poll is that you all have very little faith in me. As the Pythons said, He's not the messiah. He's just a very naughty boy. Just give me time, o ye of little faith. Some day I will get tired of one-side-soft toast.
