What? You didn’t know I was in the prediction business? Indeed I am. Sit back and behold the magic:

1. A Western Conference team will win the NBA Finals. Okay, so that’s a soft prediction as the Eastern Conference is horrible. But hold on, there’s more.
2. The Yanks will go all the way. What? Did you expect me to choose the Mets? Laughable. The BoSox? C’mon. The Yanks pitching staff will come together and our big guys will start hitting. They’re hungry this year. It’s gonna happen. Tired of my sports predictions? Allow me to change gears.
3. Obama and Clinton will fight it out ’till the convention. This, of course, spells disaster for the Dems paving the way for McCain’s win over whoever the Dem candidate is. Yes, the sky is falling in my world. Politics makes your stomach turn? Okay, switching gears again.
4. The internet is here to stay. Seriously, people, I think the internet is for real. You want personal predictions? I won’t disappoint.
5. After the intensive feeding clinic that begins this next Monday (hello, commuting!) Ira will be getting most of his nutrition through food that is taken by mouth. His g-tube feedings will be minimal. By September, Ira will be getting one hundred percent of his nutrition through oral feedings.
6. Finally, I’m predicting the Summer of the Hayses. Do you remember the Summer of George? George got a severance package and declared that he was taking the summer off. Laura and I don’t have a severance package and we’re not taking the summer off but for the first time in years, we feel free to do things that were unimaginable three years ago. It will be the Summer of the Hayses. Bring it.
