Maybe some woodworking today.
Actually, I am going to take the long trip to town, where I will get a big fat foam paint brush. Going to paint the table top again, this time with foam so as to have no lines that I have to sand out.

Patriots Mock Draft
I found this today on the internet. The amazing thing is, people actually try to draft 7 rounds of players. What usually happens is - - in just the first round - - people get about 1/2 the players correct. In later rounds, it is extremely difficult to get even 1-2 players correct.
Anyway, here are this person's picks. I would normally correct all the grammar errors, but don't feel like it this morning.

2010 Dream Patriots Draft
Updated 3/15/10
While winning seasons, playoff runs, and NFL records are nice to see, a Lombardi trophy is what every Patriot fan and player is striving for each year. The Patriots will need to have a great off-season in 2010 to key up for a Superbowl run in the next decade. So we here at NE Patriots Draft are going to piece together what the Patriots need to do this spring.
Let's get on to our dream scenario... also check out the Patriots 2010 Draft Picks page.
Round 1: 22nd Overall
Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
The Patriots select another Wolverine. Graham is a pass-rush maniac that should sate the desires of Patriot fans. He will struggle in coverage initially, but has the athleticism and hips to develop into a 3-down OLB.
Round 2: 44th Overall
Alex Carrington, DE, Arkansas State
A great 5-technique prospect, Carrington has the ability to get to the quarterback while standing tall against the run. A quick first step and great hands keep blockers off balance. Corey Wootton and Jared Odrick (if he fell) would also be great options here.
Round 2: 47th Overall
Ricky Sapp, DE/OLB, Clemson
The pass-rush is bound to get better with Sapp and Graham in the mix. Sapp is a pass-rush specialist that will need to put on a few pounds to effectively set the edge. Is athletic enough to play in coverage, although he is better utilized rushing the passer.
Round 2: 53rd Overall
Damian Williams, WR, USC
Williams runs the most polished routes of all the receivers in the 2010 NFL Draft. Brady should be able to build some rapport pretty quickly due to his consistency and work ethic. Very polished, although not incredibly explosive.
Round 4:
Tony Moeaki, TE, Iowa
Classic NFL TE with great in-line blocking skills and good receiving skills. Should go higher, but hasn't been very durable at Iowa (wrist/head). We feel that he is the best TE in the draft for the Patriots when healthy. If Ben Watson is gone, Moeaki would be a great fit.
Round 6:
Syd'Quan Thompson, CB, California
With Leigh Bodden resigned, corner is less of a need. However, the nickel CB position is still a place that the Patriots can improve on. (Wilhite/Wheatley) Thompson is very physical, even with his small size, and has lots of experience in the slot. Can really lay a guy out in run support.
Round 7:
Mike McLaughlin, LB, Boston College
Would be gunning to be a special-teams star in the mold of Larry Izzo. Always a great guy to have around.
Round 7:
Mike Brandtner, P, Iowa State
While a punter might not be a sexy pick, they can be useful. Brandtner is great inside the 20 and kicks the ball well in directional situations.
Round 7: (Compensatory)
Deji Karim, RB, Southern Illinois
Initially a practice squad/4th RB guy that could develop into a solid 3rd-down back.
Round 7: (Compensatory)
Dace Richardson, OG, Iowa
Lumbering big man that has solid technique and a good understanding of pro-blocking due to his time with Kirk Ferentz.
Round 7: (Compensatory)
Tim Hiller, QB, Western Michigan
Backup caliber quarterback with a decent arm. Good touch on deep balls and solid decision-making.
Round 7: (Compensatory)
Kerry Meier, ATH, Kansas
Meier is a former QB that can play FB/H-Back/WR and probably a few others. Just a good football player.
Anyway, here are this person's picks. I would normally correct all the grammar errors, but don't feel like it this morning.

St. Patrick's Day on St. John
This was in The Source, the on-line newspaper at www.stjohnsource.com. About the parade on St. John. You can see lots of villa rental information at www.stjohnvillarental.com, but not here in this article, because it is about St. Patrick's day.

St. John Turns Emerald Isle for a Day
By Lynda Lohr — March 14, 2010
Catherine Stul entertains with some step dancing.
Beer in green plastic cups, green T-shirts galore and even green fortune cookies in green wrappers gave Cruz Bay, St. John a greenish glow on Saturday as the town celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a wee parade.
"Everybody's Irish on St. Paddie's Day," Pat Marolt said.
The Oxford, Md. resident and her husband, Gary Marlot, are spending the winter aboard their boat anchored off St. John.

The parade ran down the road that runs from Winston Wells Ballfield to First Bank, passing Quiet Mon Pub. The pub organized the parade.
Up and down the parade route nearly everyone professed to be Irish, even if only for a short while.
"We're Polish, but we like to be Irish for the day," Dan Wesolowski of Malvern, Penn. said. He was hanging out with St. John resident Mary Hartman, who had handed around green necklaces, pins and other adornments from her vast collection.
"I've collected all this green stuff over many years on St. John," Hartman said.
Ann Chase of Syracuse, N.Y., is a big fan of Ireland, she said.
"And I love Guinness beer," she said, waiting for the parade to start.
Is St. John resident Lisa Durgin Irish? "Lisa Kathleen Durgin," she said, with the emphasis on the Kathleen and roots in the Emerald Isle.
St. John residents and many tourists usually know when the parade will be held. Others just wandered by in time to watch.
"I'm waiting on the ferry to go home and a local told me I had to come and see the shortest St. Patrick's Day on record," Les Willis of Suffolk, Va. said.
Mark Davis of Raleigh, N.C. came out with friends to "enjoy the alcohol and festivities" as well as to watch Quiet Mon Pub staff and friends throw T-shirts and green-wrapped candy into the crowd, to see Kelly O'Brien, who called herself Miss Ireland, wave, to cheer on the kids from Using Sport for Social Change, and to watch the Middle Age Majorettes strut their stuff.
And St. John resident Catherine Stul entertained with some step dancing.
St. John resident Virginia Knaplund was making her way up and down the parade route passing out Irish flags.
"I've been doing it for 10 years," she said, hustling off to hand out more flags.
Weston Pearson, a bartender at Caneel Bay Resort, was riding in a truck with some friends. While the intent was to enjoy the day, he also spoke about how he was promoting recycling.
"We need to recycle bottles as well as cans," he said, referring to the fact that St. John currently has a recycling program for aluminum cans only.
