- Fifteen years ago if you told me the lead singer from Hootie and the Blowfish would win a music award for country music I would have told you that you are nuts.
- Norah Jones now has short hair, I don’t think that’s a good look for her.
- Actually, I’m not a fan of short hair for women in general.

- I’ve found it liberating to let go of some of the little things in life that I considered big things. I use to get upset if someone parked in “my space” at work, now it doesn’t bother me. I use to feel like I had to work out right when I got home, but now I work out whenever I feel like it in the evening. I use to feel like I had to watch the nine o’clock evening news, but then discovered it’s pretty much the same news that comes on at five or six. I guess I found my life becoming ritualistic, which to me means I was really living my life but being controlled by it.

- Fox News – Fair and Balanced or just did they just make a mistake? – But at least Hannity admits to the “mistake.”
- Steve Carell and Tina Fey will be starring in a movie together. I’m afraid it’s going to be one of those where the cast is great, but the movie is subpar.
- Andre Agassi coming out about using crystal meth and wearing a wig wasn’t earth shattering news to me.
- Along with flying in a fighter jet, another one of my life-long goals is to appear on Sesame Street talking to Muppets as if they are real.

- I got more details about the changes to my health care plan, it turns out other than the high deductible plan I can also choose between two plans that is somewhat similar to what I’m paying now, but it will only cover the first $30,000 or $60,000 in medical coverage. I’m not sure how much pre-delivery visits are going to cost, and I’m not sure how much a delivery is going to cost, so I’m thinking I need to play it safe and choose the $60,000 option. But then again, it might just cost more than those amounts. I don’t want to sacrifice care for cost.
- I get paid weekly (which I think is great btw) and my health care premium is about $55 a week to cover both me and my wife. If I choose the $30k option $65 will be taken out of my paycheck, but as soon as BabyGeeding is born $108 will be taken out. If I choose the $60k plan, then the weekly amount deducted is $81 pre-baby and $134 post-baby. Here’s the comparisons of all the plans if you are interested.
- No matter how I look at it, my health care costs have increased quite a bit with less coverage. It’s going to be time to put pencil to paper and work out some numbers to see what’s in our best interest. As of right now, I wish there was another health care option for us to choose, like a public option. Maybe I can find some supplement insurance to help out with things. It’s time to do some research.

Man Tries to Send Flowers to Fort Hood Shooter
A day after the massacre at Fort Hood, Dan Ross of Lehigh Acres ordered a $59.95 bouquet of yellow roses.
They were not meant to honor the dead, but to soothe the alleged shooter.
In an e-mail order to Marvel’s Florist in Texas, the 61-year-old asked a note to be addressed to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect who remains in intensive care at an Army hospital in Texas.
The florist didn’t complete the order, but alerted the FBI. Ross said the agency visited his home.
Why would someone do such a thing?
As a Christian, Ross said he is called to love his enemies and do good to them.
And as the reincarnated Apostle Peter, Ross said, the Holy Spirit told him to send the flowers.
“He a hero to the Muslim community,” Ross said of Hasan Tuesday night.

I found some of these videos on Barry’s blog and just had to make sure my readers saw them as well.
Yup, dogs miss those that are deployed.
Inscription for 9/11 memorial in Conn. creates a storm
James Gadiel of Kent, Conn., was a 23-year-old trader who died in the World Trade Center terror attacks. As a tribute to him, his father, Peter, approached local leaders to suggest placing a memorial plaque at the town hall.
Kent’s de facto mayor, First Selectman Ruth Epstein, readily agreed — until she saw the proposed wording: “James Gadiel, lifelong resident of Kent, murdered in the World Trade Center by Muslim terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001.”
