Could they be your father?

[Kevin]

I don't think I ever mentioned I went to a Red Sox game on I think Wednesday. My dad goes every year with a bunch of bankers and brokers he works with, who have a suite box at Fenway. So it's pretty cool watching the game up from a little room with TV and food and stuff, with its own little seating box right outside. And one of the bankers or whatever bailed out last minute, so I got to go. It was pretty much all middle-aged guys, which, suffice to say, is not my type of crowd. But my dad's partner's son, who's I think 27 was there, and he gave me the lowdown on college and what to expect and what physics is like and a little bit of comic book history to boot. So it wasn't a total loss. Also, on the way up, I sat next to my Pepere on the bus, who took it upon himself to relate a little of his life story to me. I know by regular standards that's pretty boring (especially since this particular yarn was about his days as a real estate salesman), but I'm sad to say I haven't heard enough of it. There just hasn't really been much opportunity for him to sit down and tell my generation about himself. Great chunks of my grandfather's life are still a mystery to me, so it's nice to hear a little bit of it, you know, learn a little of where I came from, even if it is a little tedious sometimes (but what grandfather's stories aren't?). He's well into his 80's now, so who knows how much longer he'll be around? And when he's gone, it'd be a shame to only remember him for the little of his life that I knew him. I hope while he's still around, I get to hear plenty more stories about his younger days with Memere, and his days as a local country singer-- funny story he told me then, actually: One of his band members, after quite a few drinks compliments of audience members with requests, decided to go home that night with one of the waitresses. He then went home later that night to, well, to his wife. Only he realized when he got there that he had one black shoe on and one brown shoe. My Pepere never related the consequences to the band member, but reminds me to think of what must be going down back at the waitress's house, where some guy's coming home to a mismatched pair as well! Yeah, I know, dumb story, but it's a great feeling to know that these were the kind of things that (may have) actually happened in my Pepere's life. It's nice to know a little family history, you know, know where you come from. It's like the movie Big Fish-- a man tells a story so many times, that he becomes the story, and in that way, becomes immortal. I ought to start making my life more interesting somehow, so I have something to tell my grandchildren.

Cubec - stop with your posts about nothing. We don't like them, and they aren't fun to read.

Then don't read them.

The SP has itself also noticed that misinterpretations and “ half truths” about the constitution abound, particularly in statements from its supporters. There is, for example, the stubbornly persistent idea that the constitution would give European citizens the right to force a referendum on any proposal which can attract a million signatures. This is completely incorrect. The text does indeed offer citizens the chance to propose a referendum, but it equally allows the European Commission to ignore such a request.

Another frequently heard misconception about the constitution is that it gives individual citizens more rights. This is also untrue, as the Charter of Fundamental Rights refers exclusively to rights which, through international treaties signed and ratified by every single EU member state, citizens of these states already enjoy. For citizens of the Netherlands, this Charter is thus absolutely worthless.

Commenting on the “fight against nonsensical stories”, SP Euro-MP Kartika Liotard said, “It would be a fine thing if the half-truths and myths were to disappear from discussion of the constitution and the debate were to focus exclusively on the advantages and, more to the point, the many disadvantages that the document actually offers. Personally I am convinced that if Dutch citizens were objectively and truthfully informed about the constitution they would vote against it quite overwhelmingly in the coming referendum.”

Is everything okay? Were you close to a horse that died in your arms or something? Or maybe you knew somebody that liked to dress as Darth Vader?

Please open up to us and share with us the source of your sorrow.

I have a couple of the '93 World Series games; however, they are on my DVR...not on the computer unfortunately. I would love some QuickTime footage myself!

Sorry.
