With the start of school, I was struck with some of the greatest moments I had with my father. He use to drive me to school every morning on his way to work. It was just father and son each morning enjoying each others company with talk radio in the background.
I can also remember my first day of kindergarten and being so excited to go because it meant I was growing up. But I also remember my mother crying for the same reason, but at the time I didn’t understand why she was crying, I was just wondering, “what are they not telling me . . .”
CNN has a goofy and useless sound meter they use when covering the Democratic Convention.
The other night I stayed up to watch the mens USA Basketball team play the gold medal game which started at 1:30 AM. DogGeeding just couldn’t understand why I was staying up so late and tried to get me to go to bed. At times he would just stare at me and then pace back and forth from the living room to the bedroom. A few times he would jump in my lap and then start scratching at my chest as if to get my attention and tell me I’m totally messing up his schedule. He later went to the bedroom, but came back 15 minutes later only to stare and sit in front of me and let out a sigh/bark and then went right back to bed.
Jason’s Deli’s salsa is surprisingly good. And that last sentence just looks weird having two consecutive possessive nouns.
Bono actually posted a comment on RollingStone.com and I’ve been invited to a U2 Academic Conference in NYC. If only I were a permanent employee of this great airline that I’m contracting for I would certainly go.
I made a post yesterday about hotels and casinos that Vegas never built and displayed a picture of a Titanic hotel and casino concept. I used that picture because I thought having a Titanic hotel was just a dumb idea; however, Jonathan was nice enough to post a comment that there is one similar in Branson. Here’s a link to a Flickr set of the hotel in Branson, and here’s their website. You can even get married on their grand staircase.
For the first time in my life I actually have close friends that share the same political views as myself.
When gas was closer to $4 a gallon I noticed that most of the drivers on my commute were pretty friendly. Now that it’s gotten a bit closer to $3 a gallon, I’m starting to see a lot more aggression on the highway.
For a 51 year old, Katie Couric doesn’t look bad at the beach.
My memory is a little foggy, but I think I recall watching the conventions as a kid and the major networks aired them for more than just an hour like they do today.
Branson… it’s like Las Vegas if Ned Flanders had invented it!
Katie Couric + Cougar?
I have good memories Daddy taking me to school………always saying, as I left the car to enter the building, “Have fun!”
