• Several of you were nice enough to email me during my sabbatical, my apologies to those of you I never got a chance to respond to.
• “Boy, I can’t buy you anything nice.”  I remember my father saying that to me once, and that line popped in my head over the weekend as I was moving a dolly across the living room and hit our week old leather furniture – leaving a noticeable mark.  And here WifeGeeding was worried that the dogs would damage the furniture.
• There’s a new guy at work, and since I know what it’s like being the new guy, I decided to take the guy out to lunch where he totally broke two unwritten rules.  It was just the two of use eating when I decided to go to the restroom.  The restroom was occupied, so I just waited outside the door when I noticed that the new guy was walking over to the restroom.  First of all, if only two people are eating, one person always stays behind so the table doesn’t get bussed.  And sure enough, I saw the busboy start to clean our table.  And second . . . guys never, never, EVER go to the bathroom together.
• Another random unwritten guy rule – if you go to the movies together there is always a buffer seat between you and the other guys if at all possible.
• I have an email signature that I create for my work email.  It’s pretty distinctive, fits my personality, and oddly enough, I’m proud of it.  I noticed the new guy likes it so much he’s using it as his own, updating it with his name and contact information.  To be honest, that ticks me off.
• Being the first team eliminated on The Amazing Race or the first person voted off Survivor must be extremely defeating.  Imagine gearing yourself up for a once in a lifetime adventure and it all ends in less than a day, perhaps even minutes.
• One thing I remember while watching football in the early 90;s was the ability of a quarterback to be able to follow through on a throw and complete a pass while getting hit.  Troy Aikman was good at that, but it’s something you don’t see in the NFL nowadays.  You can see an example of that kind of hit at the 24 second mark in this old Nike commercial.
• Is it just me, or is Felix Jones the most talented player in the NFL that is made out of glass?
• I’m sure all men will agree that sometimes there are things you just don’t want to talk about to your wife, and I’m sure women will agree that sometimes there are things you just don’t want to talk about to your husband, no matter how much you love and respect each other.
• One of my friends is driving a rental car, he found a human tooth in the small slide drawer ash tray thingy.
• I’m happy I never got my hope up for the Rangers, they always disappoint.  I just about have the same attitude with the Cowboys.
• The median income for all of New York City is $51,116, almost a grand less than the national average of $52,029 – that’s a lot lower than I expected.  Mayor Bloomberg only makes a dollar a year, and surprisingly Archbishop Timothy Dolan makes $23,500 a year.  Source
