Well, it's Tuesday, must mean I have another sore throat. Arrgggh. Woke up this morning with an achy throat. It doesn't feel like the kind that leads to a full blown cold, though. Just a super annoyance.

We're thinking about maybe leaving for St. Louis tomorrow. I'd leave work a bit early, and take off in the afternoon, going as far as Iowa City and stay the night there. Just to break up the trip a bit. That's a long ways to go in one shot with the kids. Dad will get here this evening, we'll see if that's something he'd like to do.

Just to revisit the (don't make me say it) Scott Peterson trial once more, and then never again. (Except to rise up in support of the death penalty if and when 40 or 50 years from now California actually gets around to executing him.) What bothers me about the coverage is this syrupy first-name familiarity with the people in the case. This breathless talk of "Laci" and "Conner" and "Amber", even "Scott", etc... Bleh. As I said before, there are many murders, just as heinous as this one. Where's all the sugary concern for those victims?
