Working on homework tonight, trying to get caught back up.  Was thinking about watching the Dallas Cowboy game tonight on tv.  Have not seen a game all year long.  I guess that is  probably a good thing since they have only won one game all year.  Guess we as people aren't the only ones who have off years.  Tho they do make a whole lot more money than we do when we fail.  Other than that I should end this blog and get to writing my paper for class this week.
