Our CEO and other big wigs flew in from D.C. and I had to go to a swanky dinner last night. It was the first time I put on a suit or a blazer in years. When in those kind of settings, I’m totally out of my element.
I’m afraid someone at the meeting may have had too much to drink, I was actually concerned about the guy the way he was handling himself. He also asked so many questions I didn’t get home until about 11:30 PM.
Our CEO stated she likes to be transparent and accessible, so at headquarters she made sure have a glass walled office that is located next to the kitchen and breakroom. She also said something that just kind of stuck with me even though I’m sure I’ve heard a variation of it before, “Sometimes when you are stuck in the storm, you just have to dance in the rain.”
When I got home, WifeGeeding kindly let me know we have no hot water. I checked the water heater in the garage and the drain pan was full and I could tell the excess water drained through the drain pipe outside the wall. Well, that was money I wasn’t expecting to spend this month, and I think the water heater is only about three or four years old.
I’m not a fan of National Signing Day. While it’s a significant moment in their lives, graduating high school football stars with senioritis don’t need their ego stroked anymore than what it already is with elaborate press conferences. It’s just a step closer to idiocracy.
CBS will air NFL football for the first half of the 2014 NFL season . . . I really just prefer my NFL football on Sundays and one on Monday.
I heard about this an HBO documentary called ‘Born Rich’ which was put together by a Johnson & Johnson heir that was getting his fortune on his 21st birthday who felt compelled to interview other children from well established families like the Trumps, Vanderbilts, Newhouses and Bloombergs about what it’s like to be born rich and know you never have to work a day in your life.
I looked for it on HBOGo an Netflix without any luck and then on other sources like Google Play and still came up empty, but eventually I found it for free on YouTube of all places.
If you don’t have time to watch the full documentary, which is only about 67-minutes long, then just watch this two-minute-and-forty-second clip which contains my two favorite parts.
As you can tell it’s a bit dated as I believed it aired in October 2003. While watching it I kept thinking a followup documentary should be made on where all these folks are today since it’s about a decade old. I started to do the research on my own when I discovered the UK’s Daily Mail did the work for me.
Watch the full documentary below.

We like to have fun at our school. So, after several school closings due to snow and cold, we recorded this call to parents to see if we could make them laugh. I think we succeeded. Boone County Schools in Kentucky is one of the nation’s finest. And, our awesome parents deserve this chuckle. By the way, if this video can gain us some exposure, AND you know of someone willing to help us out with some cash for technology, we DESPERATELY need it. Ellen? Rosie? Oprah? Jimmy Kimmel? We love our jobs – I hope you can tell!

Toshikazu Tsukii, a Raytheon engineer, built the climate-controlled, two-story guesthouse at his home in La Cholla Air Park in Oro Valley out of a trio of aircraft bodies: the nose cone of a 737, the fuselage of two 707s and the tail section of a 727.
