What is this blog supposed to be about again?

It's sad to say, but I had to learn about the world's new tomkitten from CNN instead of my usual news source on all things celebrity-baby related -- AARS.

As if I didn't think Scientology was full of a bunch of whackjobs already, Tomcat's much talked about arrival has made me realize I was too kind in my perception of the "Church" once I learned of the Scientology-sanctioned "silent birth" procedure:

"Scientologists believe childbirth causes emotional stress to the newborn if it hears the mother groan in pain during delivery."

I wonder what will cause little Surly I MEAN Suri more emotional stress: being raised by a brain-washed mom and egomanic, religious zealot father vs. hearing her mom make a noise during birth. Hmmm...

Meanwhile, Brooke Shields also had a baby on the same day as Tomcat. I look forward to more of Tom's meaningful insights into Brooke's use of that pseudo-science, voodoo magic us backwater folk call "psychology"...opposed to his rigorous, scientifically-founded beliefs.

race season kick-off

i was really looking forward to the burns park race in may (sunday, may 7th). we've done it a few times and it's usually pretty fun sans the million little kids you have to dodge during the first mile. when else do you get to warm up with jazzercise? good thing leg warmers are making a comeback.

unfortunately, i just booked a ticket to skip town that weekend, but for the rest of the aars you should sign up soon to get the reduced registration fee.

i'll be there with you in spirit!
