Exciting Daytona Thing

Scott told me that there was a free pass to "HOT PASS" on Directv HD, so I went and viewed the last 30 laps or so of the Daytona Race and jinxed our neighbor (david Blaney) as soon as I sat down he went from 10th place to OUT as he crashed. WOOPSIE, scott said the M&M car guy would win, and he almost did, but his guy #12 did win so good day for Uncle Scott as his guy won the race. The driver won the Harley Earle trophy ( I think the Earle Brother that had teeth). Outback was not on the agenda as we had a report from school. They also blew a chance at earning a Sunday treat of cashing in their Krispy Kreme donut freebies, but just couldnt bring themselves to practice the church songs. Whacking each other with broomsticks was much more fun?/painful. Anyhoo. MommyBear was distressed as she told them "I dont get to have fun either, what a gip" well there is an OUTBACK about 2.5 miles from the HOTEL at Disneyland so Im sure we can do. OVERALL though the girls are doing much better in citizenship. Otherwise they got to work on their projects and Julies is done while Cillys just requires printing out some captions and some gluing. We go to the school on Wednesday Night to display them. Tomorrow Tina and I share the day off, so we are going to see either "No country for Old men" or "there will be blood" I predict that whatever one we see will win the academy award, as I have always seen the Oscar winner in the theatre BEFORE the ceremony (next sunday) and since we havent seen any of the five and will only be seeing one, it has to be it. By the way its my streak and started in 1975 (cuckoos nest). At work this week will be the "ask me anything about the oscars week" for which i will clean up on COca-Colas and packs of gum. Neat trivia this year is Cate Blanchette becomes the first woman to get a nomination for the same role (Elizabeth I) by the way only two men were nominated twice for playing the same role, Bing Crosby (won in 1944) and Al Pacino, who didnt win either year he was nominated for playing Don Coleone. And TWO actors won (1972 and 1974) for playing the same role. Think about it.
