- WifeGeeding found out yesterday that one of our neighbors is the daughter of Heisman Trophy winner and Oklahoma Sooner Billy Simms. I use to be a member of gym right next to Valley Ranch and he was there with the trophy. He was really nice and even let me pick up the trophy and gave me a signed photo of him.
- I get a kick out of how OtherDogGeeding will come out and give me a look like “Dude, get to bed already, you are throwing me off schedule” when I’m staying up later than normal.
- This picture of a very young Prince Charming and Cinderella made me think of the Sandlot’s Squints and Wendy Peffercorn scene. That actress actually had a role in ‘Mad Men’ last year as Joan’s old friend who took her out for a night on the town.

- CNN.com is getting a bit goofy as of late. The lead story will contain some kind of metaphor and they will post an image of the metaphor. For instance, they made some reference about how Congress negotiations are going as slow as a turtle and the image for the story is that of a turtle.
- It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they email me using an AOL address.
- Nails on a chalkboard – Listening to The TICKET’s Internet stream and hearing the girl that just graduated from high school talk about her dad buying her dream car BMW from Reagor Dykes Auto Group for the umpteenth million time.
- Yes, that was my GNG email Bob Strum read on the air yesterday regarding my neighbor that mows the lawn shirtless.
- NBC News Interactive – Who’s in the American center?
