tedium....

ok, so it is friday night, and i am spending my free time downloading adobe reader version 6.1...just so i can download the results of the knowledge master open......a computer-based academic competition that occurs worldwide in december and march for elementary, middle and high schools.....for the record.....danville high school's team of 15, from a school of 490 students......placed 8th in the nation, as well as 1st in the state.........i only know this because it is posted on the school marquee.....when i tried to cut and paste the results, i found that my version of adobe reader was lacking.....and with dial-up it will take over an hour to download....you understand the depth of my frustration.......anyway...i was not surprised that this feat was not reorted by the local paper, which must make room for the dual losses in football at the state level......ironic, in that highlands, which beat boyle county soundly on saturday...only placed 8th in the state in this academic competition......but we will not see this anywhere in print, due to the logistics of adobe version 6.1......and a local press interested in selling sports over brains.......i am biased, but this is the status quo.....i would tell you how the team placed globally, but i must wait another hour at least for adobe to download.......
