  • lOShLuNI’ve had some sort of stomach bug for the last two days.
  • WifeGeeding and I had one of those knock-out-drag-out fights, one of those that last for more than a day.  Gosh, I hate those.  You don’t realize how much you appreciate and love something until the reality of losing them comes within sight.
  • Every time I hear “Shut Up And Dance” by Walk The Moon, my first thought is that it’s a perfect blend of 80’s and 90’s music.
  • Last night’s ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ had perhaps one of the best choreographed fight scenes I’ve ever seen on network television.
  • I’m surprised CBS11 isn’t going to keep Tammy Dombeck as their morning traffic reporter, but then again, I guess they think a former NFL cheerleader will bring in more viewers.
  • Here’s a New York Times Article about chaplains in the NBA, which all teams have.  They work on a volunteer basis and usually an hour before a game, there’s some sort of devotion or Bible study lesson that goes on.  Some coaches want to emphasize that God isn’t a good-luck charm, a while many players enjoy it and learn from it, others just attend because of peer pressure.  There’s also a concern that some chaplains have ulterior motives.

  • On last night’s ‘Late Show’, Letterman gave an audience member about 30 ties because she simply asked for them.  Also on the show was a clip of both him and Micahel Keaton as background dancers for a Mary Tyler Moore variety show.  It was so funny seeing Dave painstakingly go through the motions.

He said he will no longer be teaching the course and will be giving everyone in the class a failing grade.

Enough was enough,” Horwitz said.

After what he calls a semester of disrespect, backstabbing, lying, and cheating, Horwitz had all he could take.

“Yesterday I reached the breaking point,” he said.

He sent a lengthy email to his Strategic Management class explaining that they would all be failing the course. He said the students proved to be incompetent and lack the maturity level to enter the workforce.

“It became apparent that they couldn’t do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do,” said Horwitz.
