What the - ?

I brag on 'em and they lose 3-0. The Washington Huskies skunked the Arizona State Sun Devils last night. Fantastic pitching by freshman, Aleah Macon to shut-out the Sun Devils and hand them their first PAC-10 loss of the season. The Huskies are 4-5 in the PAC-10 and ranked 23rd in the nation. The PAC-10 has four teams ranked in the top ten. It's a tough conference. On Friday, the Huskies face #4 UCLA. The Sun Devils have a doubleheader with UNLV today.

The SEC is fairly strong this year in softball. They place four teams in the top twelve.
#2 Alabama (39-3) plays Team USA on Tuesday. The Tide is on an 18 game winning streak.

#3 Florida (43-2) plays a doubleheader on Tuesday against intrastate rival Florida State.

#5 Texas A&M (39-6) plays a doubleheader on Wednesday against Oklahoma State.

Way away from sports, which isn't a good place to be, I read a Dear Prudence column over the weekend. A woman who had remarried was complaining about her new step-daughter not "interacting" with her. The woman and her new husband both have children from previous marriages. The "step-daughter" is grown with children of her own. According to the woman, from day one, the step-daughter hasn't been receptive to her father's new wife, her. So the woman goes and complains how one day she and her new husband and special needs son show up at the step-daughter's home with gifts for the grandkids. Were they invited? It seems unlikely. So the woman says that the step-daughter didn't even make eye contact with her or her son. This is what happens when you up show uninvited at other people's homes.
Dear Prudence sided with the complaining woman. I don't. The step-daughter has every right in the world as to whom she will acknowledge and not acknowledge at her on home. Being the second wife doesn't entitle the complaining woman any rights into the life of her husband's grown children. It would be totally different if the children were living at home. They're not. Get over it.
I know it's ridiculous that I even bothered blogging about this. It's just been chewing at me since I read it. I'm never going to read Dear Prudence again. Siding with the complaining woman was totally unacceptable. The complaining woman needs to tend to her relationships with her own children and new husband. Trying to barge in to someone else's life is never right.
