My wife also got an email about some opportunity to adopt blind kids from Asia. Hopefully this isn't a scam designed to separate us from our money. In any case, she's forwarding it to me, and I honestly think we'd be as good a parent to blind kids as anyone else -- we wouldn't make the mistake of believing our kids are made of glass or in treating our kids as if they were 100% incompetent.

Well not much today aside from me taking a trip to Starbucks ... Rebecca work up with a headache that lasted pretty much all day. Tomorrow, we're heading out to Luray to Luray Caverns. If that doesn't pan out then we will be going to PF Chang's China Bistro -- we've been threatening to do that ever since Rebecca's co-worker raved about the place -- hopefully it'll be twice the taste good at twice the price. Either that, or I might convince Adam to go there when we practice reading the questions for the VHSL Scholastic Bowl competition. We've caught a few embarrassing errors before the questions went out to press.

I also learned that Championship Manager 01-02 doesn't play well with the JAWS screen reader that my wife needs. So it goes back to the downstairs computer, where I am managing the Miami Fusion FC (yes, I know the game is old) and the Ghana national team. In 2006, I led Ghana to a title in the African Nations Cup and a good finish in the World Cup -- beating Iran 3-0, drawing to eventual champions France 0-0 but losing to eventual runners-up Romania 3-0. So their performance this year doesn't surprise me. However, about 1/3 of my Miami squad dislikes me due to our early exit from the MLS playoffs in 2007.

Spam count for 7/27. I seem to be getting a LOT of Chinese porn spam.

However, my mom forwarded me some amazing photos from Pearl Harbor. I don't know where they were from originally (it was a fifth-generation forward by the time I got it). The source is "AN OLD SHIPMATE ON THE USS QUAPAW ATF-11O." according to the initial email. But, in any case, here are the photos on my Yahoo photo album. I doubt that my five readers will overload the quota Yahoo gives me.

Here's something else worth seeing.

Oh wait. Enough already. Here's the count.
