It’s been about a decade since we’ve received any graduation announcements, but recently several have come in the mail and they’re different than how I remember them. “Back in my day” everyone used the same one with some kind of small name-card placed inside. The ones I see now are basically a collage of senior portraits.
Yesterday I arrived at our local VertsKebap right when they opened, 11:00 AM. None of their meat was fully cooked, so I had to wait about ten minutes. Unfortunately, they never are fully prepared to serve their food, especially the meat, anytime I arrive when they are scheduled to open. During my wait, they offered me a soft drink to help pass the time, which I thought was nice. However, when I was at the register, they tried to charge me for the drink I didn’t request nor did I actually want since I was taking my food home.
The new Rolling Stone’s main feature is its interview with David Letterman. Here’s a highlight of the article, which covers such things as the time he phoned Leno when he announced he was leaving his show.
And in other Rolling Stone Letterman articles – David Letterman’s Top 10 Musical Moments – All three of my favorites are listed (1.) Springsteen’s first time as a guest was Dave’s final NBC show. (2.) The Foo Fighter’s playing Dave’s favorite song on his first show after heart surgery. (3.) All the Darlene Love “Baby Please Come Home” Christmas performances.
Cher made a surprise appearance on Dave’s show last night, and he looked genuinely surprised. Usually, those surprises are fake and set up well beforehand. I think she use to live in the mid-cities area of DFW for a brief time. Dave started his monolog by stating he was putting in his two week’s notice, which made me realize there are only ten shows left. My favorite Martin Short quote from last night, “You don’t engage in a conversation with Matthew McConaughey without an exit strategy.”
Letterman and Cher are both 68-years-old and their mothers are still alive. I find that amazing, and it could be that I’m just comparing it to my life experiences as I was left parentless in my early thirties.
That Deflategate report sure was real damning, especially those texts Tom Brady was involved in. I don’t know why it took so long for the league to release it, I expected for it to be out at least a month before the draft and the Patriots to lose some picks. The league has been pretty soft lately on punishment, especially when look at the Falcons and Browns, so I bet Brady won’t be treated harshly. Personally, I say give him a four-game suspension.
I love it when the guys on The TICKET do this compound or campout thing. But it’s gotta be tough on Gordon since his mother just passed. In other TICKET news, program director Jeff Catlin will be doing an AMA, not on Reddit, but on My Ticket Confession. He wants the listeners to “bring the heat”, so feel free to submit a question.
Former House Speaker Jim Wright died yesterday. My first memory of him is when Dick Cheney called him “a heavy-handed son of a bitch“. That 1989 article viewed Cheney much differently than how many see him today.
The title of the article is “Will Need to Be Tough at Pentagon : Likable Dick Cheney Can Get Mad When He Has To”.
He is portrayed by political friends and rivals alike as bright, articulate, fair, unflappable and eminently likable.
Cheney is balding, gray-suited and soothing; Tower is pomaded, London-tailored and abrasive.
Cheney is cool, Tower is hot. Cheney is dull, Tower is sharp. Cheney has no enemies on the Hill.
Cheney demonstrated a sense of humor and a healthy dose of humility during that campaign.
“He’s like a father who doesn’t need to raise his voice.”
Sorority sues ex-member who leaked secret handshake – Here’s the big secret, “The Handshake consists of a series of motions. Member A first begins with the pointer finger and the thumb surrounding Member B’s pointer finger and thumb. This is the “Phi”. Then Member A wraps the remaining fingers, middle, ring and pinky around the hand as a symbol of the “Sigma”. Depending on who is the senior member, the pinky finger is wrapped around the older member’s hand. Next is the hand knock. It goes Knock. Pause. Knock. Pause. Knock, knock, knock.“
I think facial hair is just unprofessional and creepy, it gives me the sense that the person is hiding something, plus the other day I saw a report about beards, they were swabbed and were shown to contain more fecal matter than a toilet bowl. Of course your is great…
Most millionaires _are_ middle class. Somebody that either has a decent white-collar job or is a small business owner and is diligent about saving for retirement should have $1,000,000 in net assets by their late 40s. It's not a whole lot of money.
