My Clothes Match

[puppetmaker]

Caroline dressed me this morning. She picked out my pants and shirt for the day. They actually match. Her morning doesn't really start for her until she sees Mama. She has a routine that she likes to follow. I do believe that children do like structure and she has her day pretty much figured out.

I did have a day that I thought I got enough done in one day that was Tuesday. I got most of my costume cut out and the house picked up and saw a really good movie which is opening in limited release February 3rd. Yesterday I got a lot done at the beginning of the day and then spent the afternoon playing with Caroline. So today I have a bunch more things I need to do but then I think I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had a totally free day.

Can someone explain the concept of the point spread and over/under? I am totally confused about it. I'm going to say Steelers by 7 until I understand this more.

Anyone else think "Dancing with the Stars" is fixed now? I want George Hamilton to dance another day but I have a feeling that Master P is going to dance across the stage with less grace than Sweetums for another week.

Anyone have a question for me?

I am grateful for the potential of a costume being used more than once.

That "less grace than Sweetums" comment just made me crack up. He has always been my favorite.

And a question: what movie did you see?

I put you on my writing filters, do you mind?

Oh, point spread...

To my understanding it's a way for the bookies to make money. It's the number of points at team must win by in order to get the gambling payoff. It's kind of a handicap where a very good team must beat very bad team by X amount of points in order for those who are betting to win.

Say the point spread is 10 points. Team A (the favorite) must win by at least 10 points over team B in order for the gamblers to pay out. If Team A wins by 9 points, they still win, the team fans still get bragging rights, but the $50 you bet on Team A will be kept by the bookie because team A didn't beat the spread.

Most groups use it as a way of judging the relative strengths and weakensses of a given team.

That implies it wasn't fixed before. I can think of few contests that were less obviously rigged than the finale of the first one.

I agree with you that children like structure. It seems to make them feel more secure.

RE: Your third paragraph? I had to read it three times. Is it about sports? I'm such a sports idiot.
