Bag of Randomness for Monday, December 5, 2022

  • It was an honor and pleasure to watch TCU quarterback Max Duggan play on Saturday. Dez Bryant even thought so (language warning). It was a bone-headed move not to let him score in OT.
  • While I’m happy TCU is in the final four playoffs, there’s a part of me that thinks if you can’t win your conference championship, you shouldn’t be there. But it’s all a flawed system.
  • Biden’s remarks on U2 (1). Biden’s remarks on U2 (2).
  • We put up the Christmas tree yesterday. When I bought that tree a handful of years ago, I thought my family would benefit from it for a long while. I had no idea the tree would outlive my family.
  • A friend I made in a divorce support group was having a hard time the other evening after his possession time ended. He’s been divorced for about six months longer than me and even has a new girlfriend. But there’s nothing like building a family and having someone choose to burn it all to the ground.
  • I binge watched Netflix’s Wednesday with DaughterGeeding. I’m usually not a fan of Tim Burton’s stuff, but I found it entertaining and clever. Maybe it was the putting up the tree, but I got this weird bit of a nostalgic feeling after watching the series with her. I can only describe it as that feeling I’d get post movie watching a rented VHS tape and that time you take to rewind immediately after. That’s when the lights would come on in the living room and Dad would go use the bathroom. It was my job to eject the tape and put it back in its case.
  • My former classmate made the NY Times. The church isn’t being transparent about his actions and I think something smells. What the article didn’t mention was how he put on social media how he spent time in a cabin as if he was on a paid retreat or vacation. But the reporter stuck the landing with the last sentence of the article.
  • It’s crazy how this is still a program – Nebraska man gets prison for leaving noose for coworker
  • I caught the 60 Minutes interview with French President Macron. He wore a black turtleneck, it was like watching a Bond villain. The interview started in the French equivalent of the Oval Office, where he showed off a copy of the Key to the Bastille. The kids and I saw the original displayed at Mount Vernon. They sold copies of it in the gift shop. I seriously wonder if the copy he had came from the gift shop. It was neat being able to identify something and know the history of something the correspondent did not know about. I think Macron is a smoker, at least he has the teeth of a smoker.
  • When the national anthem is played on television before a sporting event, I feel I need to treat it with some reverence and respect instead of just sitting there on the couch.
  • If I were an NFL player, I’d wear a shaded visor. It would be my way of hiding any potential tell my eyes may be giving away.
  • ‘Bad idea’: Man tries to steal from Walmart during Shop with a Cop event
  • School Nurse Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Adderall From Students
  • Active volcano and lightning.
