My allergies beat me up yesterday, I felt weak and achy all day.
Last night’s installment of the Ken Burns documentary of the Roosevelts felt like one of those character building episodes of your favorite drama. While it didn’t provide that normal greatness you expect, you know it’s needed to appreciate what’s to come.
I may have mentioned this before, but as a Depression era kid and WWII vet, my father’s favorite president was FDR. As a result, he never spent a dime (the actual coin, I’m being literal here) because it had FDR’s likeness and instead saved them in a special piggy bank which I now contribute to when I run across a dime.
The boys on The TICKET were talking about what motivates athletes, them, and just everyday people. That got me to thinking what motivates me, and I guess if I were to be sadly honest with myself, a small level of comfortableness where I can provide for my family and have a few fun things.
If Scotland parts with the UK, as I suspect it will, I’m curious to know what will happen to the Union Jack flag. Up until last week, I had no idea it was a combination of other flags and which made me appreciate its uniqueness. As for the nukes in Scotland, I have a feeling instead of removing them, there will be some sort of negotiation to keep them there via a lease of some sorts.
I had to find a workaround to a coding issue at work yesterday and the only option was to use the application key on the keyboard. Never heard of it? Well, for you Windows users, it’s the key between the Alt and Ctrl keys to the right of the space bar. It’s basically the right click option.
This Sunday our church will have Columbia professor John Azumah, who specializes in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, to deliver our sermon. There’s also a Q&A afterwards.
Cinemax is owned by HBO (Time/Warner). The Movie Channel is owned by SHOwtime (CBS). Encore is owned by Starz. They all cross promote, but it's been getting worse the last year or so.
Midland Air & Space Port. Why does this make me chuckle?
"The Roosevelts": The documentary made an interesting observation that when he was younger FDR's habit of holding his head back and smiling gave him an air of aloofness and superiority. When he became president during the Depression it was taken as a sign of his confidence.
I was amazed at how hard TR's family and FDR's family campaigned against each other.
FDR seemed fabulously wealthy but when he purchased the Warm Springs hotel it was noted that it cost him approximately $200K, which was described as 2/3rds of his wealth. Even by 1920's standards I thought he was worth much more than that.
"A teenager crashed his SUV Sunday morning after a passenger used a lighter to set his armpit hair on fire."
If I had a nickle for every time…

That sermon sounds fascinating.
