I sent off my border patrol paperwork on Tuesday. I received it about a week late because it had to be rerouted to the Beebe's house due to our change of address. The paperwork was time sensitive, and needed to be in Minneapolis by May 11. I rushed through it and got it sent out as quickly as I could. I took it to the Post Office, paid the postage on the return envelope that they had sent me, and paid the bit extra for delivery confirmation. It was supposed to be there today. I tracked it, and it says it was missent. I called the border patrol people who serve applicants with last names that start with F, and asked for an extension. I now have until the 15th. I hope that they actually know where my paperwork is, and that it's not just lost.
Today, I was listening to the sports talk radio station that I usually listen to, and they had a contest on called "Are they or aren't they" which they do everyday at 2:30. There is always a topic, usually one that has to do with whatever happened during the day, like "Teams the Jazz have lost to in a round 1 series" They give you an answer, and you say yes or know. I usually get out to my car after class as it's going on, but today they were a little late getting started. I called, and got in immediately. Today's topic was Major or Minor leaguers who got suspended for drug use while on a roster. I was second in line to get a crack at it, they keep going til they get a winner. It takes 3 right answers to win. The first guy bombed right away, so I got my turn. I ended up winning. I got Miguel Tejada (I believe he is a user, but he never got suspended) said no. Then Darren Daulton, who played quite some time ago, before drug testing got serious, I said no again. Finally, they named some no-name guy I don't recall the name right now, but I remembered hearing that he had a suspension. I won 4 free Salt Lake Bees tickets. We'll go out and have a fun night at the ballpark next week. It's nice to have the kids excited about something again. The past few months have been really rough.

That sounds fun. It's been a long time since I've been to a baseball game. I hope they win when you go.
It's scary when so much depends on the Post Office. Good luck--and have a good time at the game.
