Yesterday evening BunnyGeeding woke up a napping OtherDogGeeding by sniffing his nose.
Later this morning I’ll be taking a cardio-stress test. I think I’ve been apprehensive about it for a long while because despite wanting to know the results, I fear the results.
This one-eyed man put a made a prosthetic eye camera but can only keep it in for about three minutes due to over-heating. It’s always interesting learning how one loses an eye, and this guy has quite a story:
Spence lost sight in his right eye at the tender age of nine. The shooting accident happened on his grandfather’s farm when he incorrectly fired at a pile of cow manure.
Anytime I hear someone say, “Look away,” I automatically start singing that song from the band Chicago.
I’ve used a toaster and I’ve used an oven, but I don’t think I’ve ever operated a toaster oven.
I remember a time when grocery stores only provided paper sacks, and the paper sacks did not have any handles like they do today. And I remember the moment of feeling like a reached a certain level of manhood when I was able to carry four full-sized paper bags packed to the brim with groceries from the truck to the kitchen without dropping or breaking anything. The big accomplishment was using the tip of my shoe to swing open the screen door, because, in my mind, it wasn’t a real accomplishment if I had to put the groceries down to open the screen door.
WifeGeeding just wrapped up season five of ‘Game of Thrones’. I’ve never seen WifeGeeding so emotional after the death of a character in the episode before the season finale, “The Dance of Dragons”. However, I have a feeling a lot of mothers felt the same way. Heck, that episode alone had a lot of major deaths. I think that episode along with the Red Wedding has a lot of similarities and ranks as one of my favorites.
I’m wearing a heart monitoring device for 24-hours. I expected several stickers on my chest with wires attached to a bulky device. Instead, I’m wearing a bulky sticker patch. I’m told it’s a device in beta-testing and the practice is only one of six in the country using it.
I think recently laid off ESPN reporter Ed Werder’s doppelganger is actor Michael O’Neill.
U2.com has pictures of stage setup in Vancouver for the first concert of their new tour. It looks like they are going to use a four-sided screen above the middle of the stadium, so I’m curious to know how it all will work out at AT&T Stadium.
Last night’s ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ was the one in which Clarence Clemons, probably best known for being in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band, had a guest role. The second episode was the one with Kimberly trying to cover up her bulimia.
WifeGeeding’s nephew is a freshman in high school and will be reading Fahrenheit 451. The copy of the book he received was once issued to his uncle (WifeGeeding’s brother), who had the exact book 27 years prior.
If I did my research correctly, last night’s ‘Fargo’ had some interesting casting. The character Vivian was played Clint Eastwood’s daughter and ex-girlfriend. The younger 1975 version was played by Francesca Eastwood, Clint’s daughter. The older 2010 version was played by Clint’s ex-girlfriend, Frances Fisher.
I would have thought if a local story leads the national news, it would also be the lead story on the local news, but that didn’t happen on CBS yesterday. ‘The CBS Evening News’ lead with the shooting of the 15-year-old black male by a police officer, but the local news which aired immediately afterward, lead with the paramedic who was shot.
When this appeared on the news, WifeGeeding informed me her sorority got in trouble her senior year for a similar themed party, though she claims she didn’t attend. The fundraiser party event had a “Run to the Border” theme (that was the Taco Bell slogan at the time) and students dressed similarly to what’s described in the article.
A Mets fan named Tom McDonald was best friends with fellow Mets fan Roy Riegel. Riegel died nine years ago and McDonald was charged by Riegel’s family with disposing of his ashes in an appropriate manner. At first McDonald scattered some at ballparks and notable places, but then he realized it’d just be easier to flush him down the toilet at ballparks around the country:
“The game has to be in progress — that’s a rule of mine,” Mr. McDonald said one recent weeknight before entering a Citi Field bathroom, holding a little plastic bottle containing a scoopful of Mr. Riegel’s cremains . . . “I took care of Roy, and I had to use the facilities myself,” Mr. McDonald said, emerging from the stall with the empty container. “So I figure, you know, kill two birds . . I always flush in between, though,” he added. “That’s another rule of mine.”
