- WifeGeeding continues to recover well – thanks to all for your prayers and comments. We have two post-op follow up appointments this week. Maybe when all this is over, we’ll make Kool-Aid wine.
- I hear a new Tron movie is coming out. I didn’t really care much for the first one, but there was a Tron video game on the Intellivison that I really enjoyed.
- I actually finished a book. It was nothing special, just the book about a local sports radio station.
- I’ll go ahead and say it for Nathan S, even though I disagree with him “For a real sports station, listen to ESPN Radio.”
- One question remains unanswered after reading the book, how exactly did the term P1 come into being.
- Does it really take a lawsuit to figure this out?
- Cowboys training camp starts this week, and I’m not at all excited. As a matter of fact, I canceled my NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV. I just don’t want to get my hopes up again only for them to slide in December, and that December schedule looks tough.
- I did catch some of the soccer game that was played at the new stadium. For a sporting venue, it looks really cool. Great sight lines, crowd appears close, should be great for football.
- And for the second year in a row, I’m not playing fantasy football. But I do like the commercial Joe Flacco filmed to have you pick him to be on your team.
- Today’s version of a nerd wearing a pocket protector?
- Speaking of nerdy, remember when Star Wars Episode I came out and the whole world thought that young Jake Lloyd, the kid that played Anakin, would have the world by a string a be in a ton of movies? Well, I found this interview of him ten years after the movie, and it appears that he didn’t get rich from the film and got teased about it a lot in school. And just by looking at his list of work on IMDB, he really hasn’t done much after the movie other than some video game work.
- Speaking of more nerdy stuff, I actually watched live coverage of ComicCon. I would love to attend one of those one day.
- Speaking of Star Wars, how about supporting Storm Troopers.
- I think it’s well known that I like to keep politically informed, and it’s pretty obvious which political party I lean towards, but I’ve never been the type to advertise such a thing on my car. Or any other subject matter on my car for that matter.
- The FBI doesn’t process 600 billion fingerprints a day, but they do process a whole heck of a bunch.
- Most of Sunday was spent watching a marathon on the Discovery channel called Cronkite Remembers, and it was absolutely fascinating. Basically, it was eight to ten one hour episodes of Cronkite talking in front of a fireplace recapping his career with all sorts of news footage. Even though I never have spoken to either of my grandfathers, it felt like I was in a room talking to a grandfather recapping the best and worst in life. There were a lot of events I have heard about, but never really knew about, so this was very informative. Also, there were a lot of parts I had a lot of knowledge about, but it was great to see what happened behind the scenes.
- If you are interested, you can buy the whole series on Amazon for under $30.
- In one part, Cronkite interviews LBJ after his presidency, and Johnson stated that as a gift to 168 heads of state, he sent them the Apollo 8 Eathrise picture. The recipients of the gift were elated, and he even got a thank you letter from an enemy, Ho Chi Minh.
