Bag of Randomness

  • I’m staying home for the next few days because I have strep throat and bronchitis.  I quite sure I can make it through the work day, but I don’t want to infect any of my coworkers.
  • My sickness also meant my class on Wednesday night was cut short, my students sure did seem happy.
  • I’m not sure how I will spend my time resting.  Blogging while listening to the Ticket, watching movies, reading?  I dunno.
  • I’m sleeping in a separate room to spare my pregnant wife of an illness.
  • Global Rich List – enter your annual income and see how you compare with the rest of the world.
  • I found out that that on the Friday before the Super Bowl, a high school team takes the field to help the broadcasting network to verify that all camera angles and related items are good to go.  I have a feeling that the high school team that will do that next year will be Southlake Carroll.
  • There’s a guy at work with light gray hair, but recently he used Just For Me, as I can still see some of the lighter gray, but overall the hair is darker.  It just looks weird.  And all of that made me think of when Bob Barker use to dye his hair.

  • I’m quite interested in Clear Internet – $30 a month for Internet at home or on the go sounds pretty darn reasonable.
  • Hopefully this was an accident by the coach and wasn’t intentional.
