...Sex, Blood, Tears.

Spent a little too much time watching tv this weekend. Problem was I didn't watch enough during the week so I ended up DVR-ing some of the shows I like such as Law and Order and CSI (yes, all of them). On top of that we had the tribute to Mike Wallace on 60 minutes that was interesting to watch.

Hell of a career the guy has had meeting so many people. I personally would have liked 60 min to do a two hour tribute instead of one so that we could actually learn a little more about him and listen to more interviews. It came across as a bunch of soundbites. The Heads-up poker championship was fun as well. Even got me in the mood to play some Hold-em but since I had to teach C how to play first, there wasn't much competition at these tables.

Sad news of the weekend was all about Barbaro. (and Darfour - don't accuse me of not caring). Big things often happen at Pimlico and this one "silenced the crown of 118,000". What a terrible end to a career. It is strange how a broken leg can threaten a horses life, even when they have the best medical care.

"Horses are often euthanized after serious leg injuries because circulation problems and deadly disease can arise if they are unable to distribute weight on all fours."

Can you imagine if humans were more like horses, how much better off the human race might be?

Then again, Darwin probably woudn't have been as famous for his Natural Selection shtick as it would have been much more obvious.
