  • I know ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” is aired from Rockefeller Center, which doesn’t have a lot of elbow room, but that new set sure did look tiny.
  • I thought Fallon’s suit really stood out, a very classic gray with a dark blue matted tie, almost like he walked off the ‘Mad Men’ set.
  • Conan had a much better opening segment when he took over the reins, and both basically had the same sentimental opening about being a kid and staying up late at night watching Carson.  Actually, Fallon didn’t have an opening segment, he just went straight to the monolog that was rather flat, but I needed some excuse to post that Conan video because I liked it so much.  But Fallon’s strength is getting people talking via social media and getting celebrities to come out of their shells doing some great bits.
  • Kim Kardashian was on the last ‘Tonight’ with Leno in a farewell celebrity ensemble bit and on the first ‘Tonight’ with Fallon in a welcoming celebrity ensemble bit.
  • Visually Stunning.  That was quite the scene seeing U2 play on top of Rockefeller Center at dusk with the Empire State Building in the background along with the Rutgers band.  I was surprised the band played before Will Smith was interviewed.  And it was freaking me out how close everyone was to the edge of that roof.
  • Fallon’s interview with the band was a bit awkward, but Edge was pretty funny starting off playing “Stairway to Heaven” when asked to play acoustically.
  • I also caught Kevin Spacey on Letterman last night and Spacey actually made a Larry Hagman reference.  Spacey always does a Johnny Carson impression on Letterman, and he once again delivered last night.
  • I saw a news segment on KTVT that AT&T Stadium is getting some huge “AT&T STADIUM” wording put on top of the dome that will light up and heat the roof in case there’s another ice issue, but I can’t find the story.
  • I hear the Cowboys and Stars have a frosty relationship (forgive the pun), but I came across an article that the Stars are trying to host a hockey game at AT&T Stadium.
  • Today marks one week of the retaining wall project, I actually thought it would be finished by now.
  • My preferred card game – hearts.
  • Highlights of that woman playing running back for a local indoor football league.
  • A mother’s breast milk is different from a boy than a girl, but the article doesn’t mention anything about what happens if the mother has twins with one being male and one female.  Wouldn’t it be cool if one breast was specific to each sex?
  • 35 Insider Hacks For Taking Your Kids To Disneyland – I didn’t know they have a phone app that tells you how long expected wait times are for certain rides.
  • Erik Estrada is starring in another faith-based movie.
  • If you take a look at the upcoming Left Behind movie’s website it states with some photoshopping that Ringo Starr and the Statue of Liberty are Christians.

  • BoyGeeding turned two -years-old yesterday and we had a little Curious George themed party, here are some pics if you are interested.  SisterGeeding took this picture of me which I think makes me look old because of my freckles/sunspots and some wrinkles, but I like how the beard stand out.
  • I’ve mentioned before that when we have a birthday party for the kids it can be a bit of a one-sided event having all of WifeGeeding’s family come over when the only family I have is SisterGeeding, so I’m really thankful for my male friends who kill a bit of their Saturday to support me.  And it’s great to see how everyone is able to mingle with each other naturally.
  • Update on the retaining wall – pics
  • We took the kids to that zipline park in Grapevine yesterday.  It must have been “Hot Daddy Day” yesterday because every father there looked extremely fit and all were wearing some kind of crossfit shirt.  Too bad I didn’t fit in that category.  While in Grapevine I noticed someone named Atticus is running for some kind of local office.  Surely everyone named Atticus is named after Atticus Finch.
  • I’m looking forward to seeing U2 on Jimmy Fallon’s first ‘Tonight Show’ tonight.  I think it’s really cool his show will be in the same studio Carson did his when it was first broadcast in NYC.
  • Conan O’Brien will be taping in Dallas at the Majestic from March 31 through April 3.  You can get free tickets starting to day here.  Surely Chuck Norris will make an appearance.
  • I will not, and I shall not spoil anything regarding the new season of ‘House of Cards’, so without giving anything away . . .
    • I had a little bit of a hard time remembering where everything left off with the first season, even with the four minute recap.  So let me warn you to NOT go to the House of Cards Wikia to refresh your memory because it is updated with info that are major spoilers, and be careful what you look up on Wikipedia as well.
    • I’m glad I watched the first show of the new season when my kids weren’t sleeping because something happened that made me literally yell “WHOA” and made me stand up and applauding the writing of the show.
    • If you consider finding out where a character grew up, then this is a potential spoiler, but we find out Clair grew up in Highland Park near Dallas.
  • I think some other channels were playing off the new season of ‘House of Cards’.  For instance at noon on Sunday I saw Primary Colors and Bullworth both on air.
  • I wonder if society will continue to use the phrase “I taped” in reference to recording a television show 50 years from now, and will those people wonder how did that phrase originate.
  • I’m not a fan of NASCAR but it was surprising to hear the number 3 car is back on the track.
  • I thought it was unfortunate that Obama had to shoot down rumors of his birth certificate, but New Zealand’s Prime Minister shot down rumors of him being a shape-shifting alien by visiting a doctor and a vet.
  • I’m easily annoyed by college sports fanatics, for instance, the kind of man that would have this TCU groom’s cake.
  • Feminists must love chess, no other game has a more powerful female character.
  • I love this GIF of how a diver users an air bubble to knock over some rocks.
  • College kids, an 800-pound snowball, and a hill – what could go wrong?
  • Nike might actually make power laces in 2015 in a hat-tip to Back to the Future II.
  • Gold Medalist Waits At The Finish Line For 28 Minutes To Shake Hands With The Guy Who Came In Last
  • I’m so glad I woke up early on Saturday to watch the last period of USA vs Russia in hockey.  I love the bigger rink in international play because I think it allows more to develop, but then again, I’m a not even a hockey novice.
