  • BoyGeeding had his three-year check-up yesterday.  When the doctor tested the reflex on his knee, BoyGeeding kicked his leg up to about nose level because that’s what he and SisterGeeding makes him do when she pretends she’s Doc McStuffins.
  • Thanks to the reader that suggested using pedal blocks for BoyGeeding’s Big Wheel.  I had no idea such a thing existed.
  • I miss the reader that use to comment as ‘Ricardo Perry’.  Just seeing that user name made me chuckle each time.

  • I know the Super Bowl was played just weeks ago, but I’d put money that Taylor Swift will be the next halftime performer.  At first I thought it would be between her and Justin Timberlake, but then I remembered he was part of one already, and that one involved him being a direct cause of a wardrobe malfunction.
  • Two days after Valentine’s Day WifeGeeding apologized for not getting me anything, I didn’t even realize that until she mentioned it.
  • Phil Hartman’s daughter attended the SNL 40 event.
  • LiberallyLean.com recommended 91.7 FM somewhat recently.  I decided I’d put it in my rotation dial for a week, which means channel surfing when The TICKET is in a commercial break.  I like it enough that it’s staying on the preset.  Speaking of LL, his profile picture use to be Tom Cruise in the movie Collateral.  That was when I first found his blog and was curious as to what he really looked like.
  • This year for Lent I’m giving up Lent, but I was almost tempted to give up blogging again because the experience last year was quite an experience.
  • George R.R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, stated that the show will feature deaths that aren’t in the books and we might not like this coming season.

  • Buzzfeed – A Homeless Woman Walked Eight Miles To Court To Make Sure Her Rapist Was Prosecuted
  • Jimmy Fallon shared some SNL 40 after party stories the other night.  That man seems extremely appreciative of everything that happened in his life, is fantastic at bits, and super friendly.  All he needs to do is brush up on his interviewing skills.
  • For $199 you can get a custom stuffed version of your pet – Cuddle Clones
  • Sixtynine-year-old WWE CEO Vince McMahon is on the cover of Muscle and Fitness looking pretty ripped, though I’m sure it’s not all “natural” no matter what he claims.  Stallone is just a year younger.

  • Slow news day?  The top story on CBS11’s 10:00 PM newscast was a Wendy’s that was closed due to pest concerns.  For the type of news coverage we have in the area, to have a story like that lead the news is embarrassing.

  • Yesterday was BoyGeeding’s actual birthday, and his immediate family has been holding out on his presents since his birthday on Saturday.  DaughterGeeding gave him stuffed toy versions of Tom and Jerry and WifeGeeding and I gave him a Big Wheel.  There’s only one problem with the Big Wheel, his feet can’t quite reach the peddles.  That recommended ages for the Big Wheel is three to seven, so I jumped the gun a bit.  The Big Wheel was a big player in my toddler years.
  • A mother of a three-year-old was at BoyGeeding’s party and they gifted him a Nerf Vortex, which is meant to be thrown further than a regular football and has an age recommendation of six and up.  We’re thankful for the gift and all, but it was an odd choice.  I’m guessing it was a re-gift as her child turned three the week before.
  • When I heard Conan O’Brien was in Cuba during the SNL 40 special, I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or not, but he’s actually there filming stuff for his show.  I like despite how he’s relegated to just a show on TBS, he still has a passion to do his best, compete, and be aggressive.  And in typical Conan fashion, here’s his first picture from the Cuba.
  • I caught up on ‘The Walking Dead’ last night and noticed one of the walkers was wearing a sweater that I own.

  • In regards to ‘Gotham’, I don’t know who’s the more attractive Jim Gordon girlfriend, Barbara Kean (the blonde) or Dr. Leslie Thompkins (the brunette).
  • While watching ‘Better Call Saul’ curiosity got the best of me and I had to look up “Chicago sunroof” on the Urban Dictionary.  The show also referenced the Donner Party and later that evening I noticed a tweet about them referring them to “emigrants” which caused me to look up the difference between “emigrant” and “immigrant”.
  • Had no idea the song  “It’s My Party” was produced by Quincy Jones.
  • Benedict Cumberbatch got married on Valentine’s Day and was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel last night.  I had to utilized the Info button on my remote to make sure Kimmel wasn’t a rerun.
